The Story
Nightly Spirits recounts appearances by founder Thomas Rowe in a white summer suit and Panama hat. He supposedly smiles at arriving guests, then disappears when approached. Other stories place him with his lost love Lucinda near the fountain. Doors opening for heavily laden staff portray the former hotelier as a helpful presence still looking after his property.
