Haunted Hotel: Hotel Del Coronado in Coronado, California

By Charlyn Keating Chisholm, About.com Guide

The Bottom Line:
Ask for Kate Morgan's room. In 1892, a young woman checked into the Hotel Del Coronado to meet her estranged husband for Thanksgiving. He never arrived to meet her, and a few days later, she was found dead on the hotel steps near the ocean. Since then, guests and staff of the Hotel Del Coronado have noticed strange breezes, ghostly noises and the pale figure of a young lady walking in a black lace dress.
The Story:
Within room 3502, more than 37 abnormal readings were taken by parapsychologists in a single day.
The Haunting of the Hotel Del Coronado:
The Hotel Del Coronado published a book, "Beautiful Stranger: The Ghost of Kate Morgan and the Hotel Coronado." The book sells for $18.95 and is available online at the Hotel Del Coronado's online shop.
