The Story
Before the fire, De Soto Hotel stories placed apparitions of military veterans and a female presence in its basement. US Ghost Adventures preserves these accounts as part of the former hotel’s reputation. The haunting narrative concerns the historic building, not a currently operating hotel. Gutted by February 4, 2022 fire. Final demolition/reconstruction status was not conclusively established; no interior access assumed. Avoid source’s stigmatizing claims about former tenants.
