Description:
Explore the haunted history of Oklahoma's saloons, bars, brothels, and speakeasies.
Saloons and brothels were often the first businesses to spring into existence when the boomtowns of Oklahoma were formed overnight in the state's early history. During Prohibition, they entertained in the shadows, and their stories have often been left untold. But those stories, and the forgotten women who were often at the center of them, still shaped an indelible legacy. Sometimes their echoes linger in the present, from a saloon patron who continues to tip a McAlester bar from the great beyond to the phantom of a Tulsa brothel worker that appears with enough energy to flip over a pizza pan. Brooke Montoya embarks on a journey through the haunted history of Oklahoma's saloons, bars, brothels and speakeasies.
