Ep. 485 - Cocoanut Grove Fire

The Cocoanut Grove in Boston started as a speakeasy and grew to become a very popular club. In 1942, the nightclub burned to the ground with hundreds of patrons trapped inside. This would be the second deadliest nightclub fire in US history. And although the area where the club was once located has completely changed, the spirits have refused to leave the site of their tragic ends. Join us for the history and hauntings of the Cocoanut Grove fire. The Moment in Oddity features a mummified squirrel and This Month in History features the birth of Golda Meir.
