Haunted Rooms at the Crescent Hotel: A number of rooms are haunted in the historic Crescent Hotel. Room 218 is the spot where Michael, an Irish stonemason, landed when he fell from the hotel's roof during construction. His ghost is said to bang on the walls and turn the lights and television on and off. Rooms 202 and 424 of the Crescent Hotel are also said to be haunted.
The Haunting of the Crescent Hotel: You don't
need to stay in a haunted room to see a ghost at the Crescent Hotel. Outside
of the Recreation Room, the ghost of Dr. Norman Baker often appears, looking
a bit confused. He ran a controversial hospital and health resort in the
building during the 1930s. A nurse, dressed in a white uniform, has been
seen on the third floor of the Crescent Hotel. A woman in Room 419 introduces herself as a cancer patient to guests and housekeepers, then vanishes.
In the Lobby: In the lobby of the Crescent Hotel,
look for the ghost of a man who hangs out at the lobby bar or stands at
the foot of the staircase.
Recent Developments at the Crescent Hotel: A group of teens getting ready to take a ghost tour of the Crescent Hotel recently reported seeing a man carrying a tray of butter and dressed in a uniform similar to the waiter's uniforms. He followed them out of an elevator and towards their third floor room, where he seemed to disappear. A third girl at the room opened the door and saw him staring directly at all of them.
The Dining Room: The Crystal Dining Room of the Crescent Hotel is particularly active, and many spirits in Victorian garb hve been spotted there at the tables or in the mirrors. Once, at Christmastime, the staff reported leaving a Christmas tree and presents at one end of the locked and empty Crystal Dining Room. Upon their return, the staff found the tree and presents moved to the other end of the room, and chairs facing the tree in a semi-circle.
