About this listen
On this episode of Common Mystics, Jen and Jill investigate a ghost story from the town of Stoughton, WI… but what they uncover is far more unsettling than the legend itself. In November of 1925, Saxe Hoverson, a respected local official, died after falling from the third floor of the Grand Hotel. At the time, the incident was quickly labeled a suicide. Case closed. Or so it seemed. But when you place that official explanation alongside the reality of the era—Prohibition, bootlegging, and the quiet reach of organized crime into small Midwestern towns—the story begins to feel less simple. Was Saxe Hoverson’s death a personal tragedy—or did it intersect with forces far larger than one man? And if the truth was never fully spoken, could that explain why the story still carries energy nearly a century later?
