AMERICA'S MOST HAUNTED HOTEL


America’s Most Haunted Hotel is in Eureka Springs, Arkansas.

Officially known as the 1886 Crescent Hotel & Spa, its legend has been formed from the many guests who checked out but have never left.

The Crescent Hotel has been called "America's Most Haunted Hotel", and is said to be haunted by at least eight spirits. 

These include: a young woman who attended college there in the 1920s or 30s, who is either said to have died by jumping from the roof or being pushed; 

a nurse who worked in the building when it was a hospital; 

a man in a hat and tails, believed to be the ghost of Dr. John Freemont Ellis, a frequent visitor to the resort during its glory days in the late 1800s; 

Michael, an Irish stonemason, who lost his footing while building the hotel and slipped off the roof to his death; 

Theadora, a cancer victim who came to Norman Baker's resort for treatment; a ghostly bearded gentleman wearing Victorian clothing and a top hat; 

Brecky, a boy who often came to the resort in its glory days and died of complications with an appendicitis; 

and Norman G. Baker himself.  Video
