Episode 62 - The Pioneer Hotel Horror

In our third stop through Arizona’s dark history, Ang and Manda head to downtown Tucson to uncover the chilling story of the Pioneer Hotel fire. On a dark December night in 1970, flames lit up the skyline as the grand 11-story hotel went ablaze, killing 29 people — including some of Tucson’s most prominent residents. But was it truly an accident… or something more sinister? We dig into the controversy surrounding the investigation, the tragic fate of 16-year-old Louis Taylor, and the claims of paranormal activity that still linger within the hotel’s walls. From historic opulence to devastating flames and ghostly whispers, this episode is packed with mystery, injustice, and spine-chilling tales. Light the candles, press play, and keep it spooky with us at Spine-Chilling Chats.For episodes like this and more check out our website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.spine-chillingchatspodcast.com⁠⁠⁠⁠If you have a paranormal experience, glitch in the matrix, alien abduction or late-night sexual encounter with the fae please send them in to us!
