My Wife and I found ourselves in Eureka Springs in August of this year, Our original plans were to go to a bed and breakfast and enjoy a relaxing weekend. To our dismay they were all full. I then suggested the Crescent Hotel, We drove up and they had six rooms left. wanting to make the most of our weekend we chose the Ghost Package. this included a room, 2 tickets to the Ghost tour they offer and Breakfast for two the following morning. Since this one time I really was not intending to come to Eureka Springs to Ghost Hunt I did not bring any equipment with me except my camera.
Our Room was 322. It was a beautiful room. complete with king bed, Fire place, and view. There were also 3 weddings that weekend that the hotel was hosting. so the hotel was very busy. We enjoyed a nice dinner in Dr Bakers Lounge while waiting for the ghost tour to start at 8:30 PM
I had the pleasure of Meeting Carol who if your a TAPS fan was the Medium they had on the Crescent Hotel episode. He is a fantastic man. I have met him before and your first impression is a feeling you have known him all your life. There was around 100 people signed up for the tour so they broke it up into two groups of 50. Since I have been on the tour before. I stayed toward the back. One of the active hot spots in the Hotel is claimed to be the third floor. down by our room. actually the room next to us, is where Dr Baker had a Mistress stay. a hidden entryway was uncovered in that room. Things apparently got out of hand and the woman mysteriously died , she is said to visit the room often. during the last few weeks the Hotel has received several interesting photos, one of a Ghostly woman sitting on the bench on the stairway. and on the large mirror outside our room, a series of photos was taken and in them you could see a hospital gurney . With each shot of the camera the gurney got further away. While the hotel was a Hospital they would close the doors at night 9:00 PM and then remove the patients that had died during the day on the Gurneys.
While we were in the Morgue area I waited for most all the others to leave. I was in the very back with no one behind me. I can tell you I distinctly felt some one tug on the back of my shirt. in addition, there is a door coming out of the Morgue on the left side that was used for Blood letting during the hospital days. it is locked up. as I and another couple passed it she said she heard knocking coming from behind the locked door. I knocked three times and to my surprise I got Three knocks back. As we continued leaving the morgue area. The woman in front of me came back with tears in her eyes. She said she passed an area and thought she saw her shadow on the left of her like a reflection in glass. Then she realized there was no glass and that was not her shadow. Darn, where are the Video cameras when you need them.:
Sorry to say we had an uneventful night in our room. But as all Paranormal Investigators know, Ghosts don't always play on cue. Over all we had a great time, made new friends and had several unexplained personal experiences. I highly recommend a visit or better yet a night in the historic Crescent Hotel. perhaps you will have your own stories to tell or better yet you might encounter many of the reported spirits in the hotel. Enjoy the photos below.
