The Story: President Calvin Coolidge was meant to attend the Inaugural Ball at this hotel in 1925, but missed it due to his teenage son's untimely death.
The Haunting: Each year on January 20, the date of the Inaugural Ball, strange things happen at the hotel. The lights dim and flicker at 10:00 pm, the time when guests of honor at the ball are announced. One elevator stops at the eight floor until 10:15 pm, when the president would have left his room to come down to the ball. The elevator then descends to the lobby level.
