The Unsolved Murders in Room 18

Murder Files Unsealed

The Drift Inn Saloon in Globe, Arizona, is a historic establishment with a dark past. The saloon was built in 1902 and operated as a brothel on its upper floor during a time when prostitution was legal in Arizona. The saloon is now haunted by the spirits of those who once lived and died within its walls, including two men murdered in Room 18. The current owner, Megan Crawford, and her staff have experienced unexplained phenomena, including voices, physical touches, and objects being moved. The murders of Joseph Ludwig and Richard Veckland remain unsolved, though Crawford suspects the brothel's inhabitants were involved in a robbery scheme that resulted in the deaths of some of their victims. The building continues to hold secrets from its past, offering a glimpse into the seedy underbelly of Arizona’s mining history.
