Haunted Hotel - Don Cesar Beach Resort and Spa in St. Petersburg, Florida

By Charlyn Keating Chisholm, About.com

The Bottom Line: When Thomas Rowe built the Don Cesar in 1925, he included a replica of a fountain where he used to meet his love, a young European woman named Lucinda. He met her while a student in Europe, but her parents forbade the relationship. He returned to America, but never forget her. He often wrote letters to her, but they were returned to him unopened. Upon her death, he received a letter from her, indicating that she had never forgotten him either.
The Haunting: The fountain was taken down in a renovation, but guests still report seeing the young couple walking hand in hand on the same spot.
