Summary
This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!
An unusual eBay listing led filmmaker Blair Murphy and his friends to an unexpected purchase—the Grand Midway Hotel. What they didn’t anticipate was that the building came with far more than history. Though no longer operating as a hotel, the Grand Midway is widely believed to be home to restless spirits that refuse to leave.
Blair joins us to explore the hotel’s dark and unsettling past. From reports of unsolved murders and human bones discovered within the walls to the tragic story of Martha, a young woman who lost her life after falling from the balcony during a Fourth of July celebration, the building’s history is steeped in mystery. Adding to its strange legacy are two Guinness World Records—a massive Ouija board on the rooftop and the world’s largest Tarot card overhead. Are these merely curiosities—or invitations to what still lingers inside?
