Summary

On this episode, Tony Brueski digs into the eerie legacy of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee—an American landmark forever tied to one of the most tragic moments in civil rights history. After the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on the motel’s second-floor balcony, many believed the building would simply fade into history. But what has lingered inside those walls may be more than just memory. From disembodied voices and unexplained shadows to chilling encounters by staff and visitors alike, the motel—now home to the National Civil Rights Museum—has become a magnet for paranormal speculation. Can a place soaked in sorrow ever truly find peace?
