About this listen

 The source provides excerpts from a text titled "America's Most Haunted Hotel: The Crescent Chronicle," offering a comprehensive overview of the 1886 Crescent Hotel & Spa in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. It establishes the hotel's reputation as "America's Most Haunted Hotel" by detailing its history, which transitions from a Gilded Age luxury resort to the site of Norman Baker’s deadly fraudulent cancer hospital in the late 1930s. The episode documents numerous spectral residents, including the stonemason Michael and the malevolent Baker 13 patients, and describes how the hotel has embraced its paranormal legacy by hosting ghost tours and investigations, drawing large crowds seeking authentic supernatural encounters. Ultimately, the source contrasts the hotel's current state of luxury restoration with the violent and unrelenting activity of its resident spirits, claiming its history of clinical cruelty makes it uniquely terrifying.
