Fun presidential fact: The traditional presidential inauguration ball began with Calvin Coolidge, however Coolidge never made it to the event. His son tragically and unexpectedly died two weeks before the event. Coolidge may have never attended the inauguration, but apparently he haunts the Mayflower on January 20th of every year- the date of the inauguration. Every night at 10PM (the time that Coolidge would have entered the ballroom) the lights flicker in the Grand Ballroom. It’s also at this time that an elevator routinely gets stuck on the 8th floor (the floor of Coolidge’s holding room) until 10:15PM.

This luxury resort and hotel was once the former mansion of German immigrant Julie Staab. Sadly after the death of her 8th child, shortly after childbirth, Julie fell into a deep depression and she was never seen outside of her home after that point. Julie may have passed on since this time, but her spirit still loves to take baths at the hotel. Guests have reported hearing running water in their rooms and water throughout the hotel has been known to turn on and off!

Author Stephen King was so inspired by this magnificent hotel that it became the subject of The Shining. The hotel was built in 1909 for well-to-do travelers. Guests received complementary cars and personal servants while they stayed at the hotel. In modern times, current guests have reported catching glimpses of these fancy, city-dwelling travelers. Guests have reported the sound of wild laughter, pianos playing and rowdy footsteps throughout the halls. It is believed that these are the spirits of playful guests and former employees.
