We stayed there last night and it freaked me out. My wife and I were sleeping and I woke up about 2 AM and I noticed a young man, early to mid 20s with a 60s era, parted hair style-tan vest on watching my wife sleep. Not threatening or anything, just like he knew her. As I realized what I was looking at, Scared to death, I caught my breath enough to ask what it wanted. It moved back towards the door and as I spoke again, vanished through the door.

My wife heard me and woke up and asked me what was happening. I didn’t tell her until this afternoon so she is just now letting it sink in. Staying there again tonight, don’t know what to expect.
