"Conceived by railroad executive Alex Carlton Johnson and opened in 1928 with a Tudor-revival design that integrates Lakota Sioux motifs and Native American art, the property drew presidents and dignitaries and is said to be watched over by the founder’s spirit, who reportedly never left after his 1938 death. Other well-known legends include a “Lady in White” tied to a fatal fall from room 812 in the 1970s and a mischievous young girl who knocks on doors and giggles; the hotel embraces these stories with a Ghost Adventure package that includes stays in haunted rooms and K2 meters, and it maintains a formal reporting form for paranormal encounters." - Bailey Berg
