A mother and son haunt Room 123 of the Circus Circus casino hotel, where she murdered him before taking her own life.
This series has tackled nearly 50 Vegas myths so far without resorting to the supernatural — other than calling out Zak Bagans, proprietor of the Haunted Museum in downtown Las Vegas, as the fraud that he is.
That’s because supernatural myths don’t really invite busting. By their nature, they’re fact-resistant. True believers will never believe any supporting evidence presented against them.
Also, many of these myths are constructed around real-life tragedies, such as Oct. 1, 2017 or the 1980 MGM hotel fire. So approaching them from an occult perspective not only insults the memories of those who perished, but hurts the families of the survivors they left behind.
A rare exception can, and should, be made however in the case of Room 123 of the Circus Circus casino hotel.
