In this seasonal episode of Healthcare Horrors, Karen and I dive into the chilling history of The Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Known as the most haunted hotel in America, this place has a past that’s as eerie as it is fascinating.

We start by exploring the origins of The Crescent Hotel, which opened in 1886 as a luxurious resort for the wealthy. However, its story takes a dark turn in 1934 when it was transformed into a cancer treatment center by Norman Baker, a man with no medical training who claimed to have a miracle cure. Spoiler alert: he didn’t. This brief chapter of the hotel’s history is filled with deception, suffering, and tragedy, leaving behind an unsettling legacy that lingers to this day.

Thankfully, The Crescent Hotel eventually returned to its original purpose as a hotel, where it now welcomes guests from around the world. But its haunted reputation remains. From ghostly apparitions to unexplained phenomena, visitors and staff alike have reported countless paranormal encounters.

Tune in now, and let us know—would you dare spend the night at The Crescent Hotel?
