Is the Abandoned Cuban Queen Bordello Now Haunted by Her Spirit? This narrative commences as an authentic ghost story rooted in real events and substantiated by vintage photographs.

The chronicle swiftly unfolds as the writer takes you on a captivating journey, divulging the life story of the Madam, commonly referred to as "The Cuban Queen." This dusky-skinned beauty frequently altered her name and even her ethnicity to adapt to her ever-changing circumstances. Whether it was a ploy of her trade or an attempt to deny her African heritage, she went as far as bleaching her skin and straightening her hair. This courtesan embarked on her career in the early 1900s in the red-light district of Storyville in New Orleans. A perpetual wanderer, she operated the Arcade Saloon in the pioneering town of Las Vegas, Nevada, a jazz club in San Francisco, and eventually settled in the thriving mining town of Jerome, Arizona. During her time in Jerome, she managed her own upscale establishment of ill repute known as the "Cuban Queen Bordello." Behind closed doors, there were various illicit activities taking place, including prostitution, gambling, and the clandestine trade of bootlegged whiskey. Having once been married to the famous Jelly Roll Morton, the self-proclaimed inventor of jazz, they traversed the country together, leaving indelible marks in both the realms of fashion and music during the nascent years of the jazz era. Late one fateful night in 1927, one of her employees was mysteriously murdered in her own bed. Demonstrating her astute cunning, this Madam, in collaboration with her charming accomplice, John Ford, abducted the deceased girl's infant son and vanished from town, never to be heard from again... until now! Embark on a riveting journey as the author unveils the fate of Jelly Roll Morton, the kidnapped child, and the enchanting Madam known as "The Cuban Queen."
