On this episode, Tony Brueski digs into the harrowing tale of the Iroquois Theater fire of 1903, a catastrophe that claimed over 600 lives and left an indelible mark on Chicago's history. We'll explore the events leading up to that fateful day, the aftermath, and the subsequent reports of paranormal activity that have persisted for over a century. Join us as we delve into eyewitness accounts, examine the psychological and environmental factors at play, and consider the theories that attempt to explain the unexplained. Is the James M. Nederlander Theatre truly haunted by the spirits of those who perished, or are there more earthly explanations for the phenomena reported?

And that's exactly what we are going to be covering today. And this fire is one of the most catastrophic events in the entire history of the United States. And boy, did it scare the crap out of Jake and Lisa.Lisa uncomfortably tells us all about the event that made this places just one of the most horrific places and histories of the United States. Davis tries to make us less uncomfortable with the MLB Cryptid Alternatives and some games. And Jake ruins that and makes us all uncomfortable again with the entities that still affect this area 120 years later.This is one of the best episodes of The Possibly Paranormal Podcast that you could listen to. We are extremely excited about it! You do not want to miss this amazing, horrific, and downright spooky episode of The Possibly Paranormal Podcast.

Over a hundred years ago, Chicago was home to one of the most devastating theater disasters in American history. What happened here has been seemingly forgotten, so brace yourself.

On December 30th, 1903, over two thousand people were packed into Chicago's brand new Iroquois Theater for a matinee performance of Mr. Bluebeard, starring comedian Eddie Foy. Little did theatergoers know, however, that the owners of the theater cut corners in fire safety measures in an effort to open as quickly as possible. Despite billing itself as "absolutely fireproof" there were no sprinklers or fire alarms installed, the fire escapes weren't finished and some of the exit doors had been locked during the performance. When fire struck on stage in the second act, the interior of the theater became a hellish death trap, killing close to six hundred people.My guest is Troy Taylor, author of the book, "One Afternoon at the Iroquois: America's Deadliest Theater Fire".

Taking you back another boozy doozy this week, guys! This week's episode is a real bummer, guys. Built as the Iroquois Theater in Chicago, IL after being open just 5 weeks, a fire broke out during a play and roughly 600 people were killed. Known as being worse than the Great Chicago Fire, the remnants of the lives lost are still here today. Shadow figures, children crying, and women screaming are just some of the common paranormal occurrences here, and in Death Alley where the bodies were carried out to in the aftermath. Grab a tissue, everyone, we all need one this time.
Stampedes cause a large portion of the deaths in building fires. We'll explore the fires at the Theatre Royal, the Brooklyn Theater, and the Iroquois Theater to see how crushes interact with disasters inside of buildings and why it's probably not a good idea to remain calmly seated as a theater catches fire.Sources and images at UnlikelyExplanation.com: https://www.unlikelyexplanation.comFollow on social media: https://linktr.ee/unlikelyexplanationsSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/unlikelyexplanations)

A single, horrific fire in Chicago in 1903 would become the largest loss of life from a single building fire people had ever experienced. In a matter of minutes hundreds of people lost their lives, and the effects became greater than the Great Chicago Fire.
In late December of 1903, the beautiful new Iroquois Theater in Chicago performed a matinee of the family-friendly musical Mr. Bluebeard to a sold-out audience. Midway through the performance, an overloaded stage light caught fire, and what happened is stranger than fiction. Listen carefully because it's tricky to know what's Fact or Fiction!

It was the deadliest building fire in United States history, twice as deadly as the fire which tore through the city three decades earlier. Chicago thought it had seen the worst that fire could do, but then came the afternoon of December 30, 1903. The Iroquois Theater was filled and then some - with children on Christmas break and their parents, with teachers enjoying their own time off, with college students wishing to enjoy a show with their friends. "Mr. Bluebeard" was supposed to be a spectacle, and it was - a terrifying one.
