Infamously haunted Cecil Hotel planning rooftop pool parties
On March 15th, 1937, twenty-five-year-old Grace E. Maguro checked into the Cecil Hotel. In the middle of the night, while her companion slept, Grace climbed into the moonlit window frame and jumped from the 9th floor. Her body was found the next morning entangled in the telephone wires, framed like some gruesome abstract art exhibit for shocked passersby to interpret.
