The Story

The Pioneer Hotel's paranormal reputation is tied to the memory of its fatal 1970s fire. Haunted Places recounts the belief that some of the people who died remained in the building. This is a site-specific tradition of lingering occupants, rather than an identified apparition in the available account. The former hotel's later business use should be checked separately from the story. Exact fire date and casualties omitted pending stronger historical source; do not assume operating hotel. Directory details may be historical. Address is directory-supported; exact mapping withheld.
