To preface my review, we love anything and everything paranormal and spooky, and given this hotels history, we knew we had to visit.
We reserved a 2 queen bed room for 4 people, and the space was very accommodating. The room had its own thermostat, which for the age of the property was a nice bonus. We ended up staying in what was formerly the X-ray room. We have a bunch of ghost hunting equipment that helps us detect paranormal activity and presence around us, so we set a bunch of it up in the room. I will say we did get some interactions, but nothing truly terrifying. We noticed something/someone really liked the bathroom and the kitchen area, as it would interact with our equipment only in those spots. We also caught a Live Photo of a small dark shadow entering the bathroom, and upon discussion with the lady in the lobby, she mentioned it might've been the ghost of a cat that lingers around the property. We found this very comforting. We also had some interactions down in the dining area of the lobby. Late at night around midnight, we were actively (but also quietly and respectfully) conducting some of our own investigations in the halls of each floor, then we went down to the lobby as well. The employee at the time was talking to us about some of the other paranormal experiences that both she and other guests had reported. While we were talking about the ghost of Gurthie, a woman who passed and lost her baby, we heard what sounded like a doorknob jiggling. It sounded like it was coming from the bathroom of the dining area, however upon further investigation, realized the bathroom was empty and the sound was coming from the pipes. Altogether it felt almost like the ghost was trying to let us know she was with us and heard us talking about her, and she is regularly sighted on the floor she passed on. If spooky hunting is your thing, I definitely recommend you check this place out! Without our equipment, we wouldn't have experienced much outside of the jiggling we heard in the lobby, but with equipment it was a blast! We had REMPOD interactions, cat ball interactions, spirit box responses, and even think we caught something on our EVP in the ice room. We also caught a photo of the spirit in our room, as mentioned above. I'd definitely like to stay here again, although I would want to book Gurthie's room!
