Spirits, Spooks and Specters
Explore the unexplained at National Trust Historic Hotels of America(r)
SEPTEMBER 29, 2005. As the cool, autumn air rattles the leaves outside, unsettled spirits rattle the halls inside some of America's oldest hotels. A stay at one of the National Trust Historic Hotels of America member hotels means experiencing fine service and first-class amenities, but for some it may also mean encounters of the supernatural kind. The Historic Hotels of America roster includes properties that date back to the 1600s, some of which host guests who just can't seem to leave.
Apparitions range from characters such as Rachel, a Civil War nurse, at the Gettysburg Hotel in Gettysburg, Pa.; a little boy with "pop-bottle" glasses seen skipping in the kitchen at 1886 Crescent Hotel & Spa in Eureka Springs, Ark.; an early 1900s era postal worker at the bar of the Oxford Hotel in Denver; or a woman dressed in 1920s fashions seen wandering on the mezzanine level at the Davenport Hotel in Spokane, Wash.
