While staying at the Hay Adams this weekend I had a weird experience. In the middle of the night, I woke my boyfriend up saying "Why is that woman taking pictures of us" and pointed to the middle of the room. Of course he thought I was just sleep talking and didn't think too far into it. After we checked out we decided to see if the Hay Adams was haunted. When we saw that Clover, who apparently haunts the Hay Adams, we were shocked to see that she was a skilled photographer and died from drinking dark room chemicals. Not sure if this was a weird coincidence or not, but I'm definitely freaked out!
