The Story
Before the inn was lost, guests reportedly saw a woman in a nineteenth-century black dress heading into room 302. Desk clerks described invisible hands gripping them around the waist, as though someone wished to move them aside. These accounts concern the historic hotel that stood on the site, not a present lodging business.
