The Story
The Tutwiler's mischievous ghost stories involve lights and appliances switching on when staff expect them to stay off. The spirit is sometimes called Colonel Tutwiler, but the present hotel is not the original building that bore his name. It occupies the former Ridgely apartment building, an important identity distinction that prevents two places from being folded into one history.
