    Room 3, one of the original rooms of the hotel my girlfriend and I were staying and in the middle of the night my phone was going off and acting crazy, we were hearing all types of knocking noises and voices, we also got a video of something knocking on the door of the famous room ten while no one is there! I'm currently writing this while in room 3 because I can't sleep now lol. But it's cool B)

    While unaware of the room’s reputation, my daughters and I stayed in room #10. My youngest daughter woke up in the early morning hours with one of the large paintings on her chest. It was securely attached to the wall and we still have no idea how it ended up on top of her in the middle of the night. We thought it was strange, but didn’t think too much of it. On the drive home I googled the hotel and was shocked to read about the hotel’s reported hauntings , esp with #10!
