They other day i got to work down in the laundry room all day with a coworker i don't get to talk to much and she had plenty of stories to tell about her own experiences at the Hotel, and she's given me permission to share them with you! So here they are:
-One night she was getting off later in the evening then usual. She walking into the empty lobby and saw a man who was burnt completely from head to toe holding a cup of coffee. As soon as they made eye contact he disappeared and dropped the cup of coffee to the floor. Cleaning up the coffee mess was the only thing that convinced her it was real.
-One of the outdoor cabins used to be the personal home of the owners late husband. Since his death many of the staff have reported strange incidents ranging from slamming doors, appliances turning on by themselves, and hearing the husbands voice from different rooms. Staff now only goes out there in groups of two and have to double check to make sure the oven and stove is off before they leave.
-In the laundry room the same little boy from upstairs likes to run around in the small space behind the washers. He is particularly fond of jump scaring people when they are alone.
-One night two of the house keepers were in the laundry room early in the morning before work starts and they heard something knocking on the inside of the industrial size dryer right as they were about to turn it on., and saw a hand throw the smudged glass. They screamed and threw it open expecting to find someone screwing with them, but it was completely empty.
-Last but not least is a story from a guest. Room 20 is not used as a guest room. The owner uses it for storage and the room is kept locked and has a chair sitting in front of it. One night a guest got up late, at night and heard strange noises down the hall. He found room 20 wide open, chair tossed aside, and saw a figure in the room. Apparently he took a video and showed it to the staff the next morning. My coworker only described the figure as "The Grim Reaper" and didn't want to discuss it further, or share any other stories after this point in the conversation.
I'd like to learn more about the hotels history, but the only online info i can find is about the first owner who built it as a bathhouse in 1928 and only finished the hotel in 1942, and the current owner who bought it in 1995 after visiting it with her family. Everything in between is blank. I'm going to ask around town and maybe hit up the local museum and update you guess when i have more info to share.
