Episode 97. Palmer House Hotel and the Iceman
from Oy with the Terror Podcast · host Oy with the Terror Podcast
In this week's episode Sandra talks about one of the most haunted hotels in Minnesota located in Sauk Center. The hotel was built in 1901 and then shortly after burned down, it celebrated its 120 year anniversary in 2020. Today the hotel welcomes guests to a fun downtown area with a bar and some uninvited guests. For years people have reported having strange experiences and the hotel has been featured on popular shows such as Ghost Adventures and the Dead Files. Then, Danielles talks about the notorious Iceman, aka Richard Kuklinski. A for-hire hitman who worked his way up to work for multiple Italian mafia families. His preferred method involved freezing his victims' bodies. He also frequently changed his choice of weapon which made it difficult for police to catch him. I recommend ths Iceman episode from Very Scary People to get an inside look into the man behind the Iceman.
