Hey, it’s finally gameday and things are happening. Well, nothing on the field yet, but OSU did stay in a haunted hotel last night. Allegedly. Jake Trotter did a little research on the Hotel Doherty.
During prohibition it was a speakeasy, a place for back-room gambling and adult entertainment. It was also a meeting pace for the mafia. In 1938 the hotel was the site of one of Michigan’s most notorious murders. Isaiah Leebove, former Purple Gang attorney turned Purple Gang businessman, was murdered at the bar, shot dead by his cousin and business partner Jack Livingston.
