Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire spending the night in an antique hotel

,...built in 1859. It's been very nicely restored in mostly original condition. During two periods in its life it was a whorehouse. Evidently,..the whores have all died out, however.

Anyway,.. our room has a nice, big 4 poster king size bed and a nice bathroom with antique fixtures.

The only downside is,...it's right over the hotel bar,...and it's packed. They started rolling in about 5PM and got progressively louder as the evening has progressed.

Just when I thought it couldn't get any louder,....the band fired up.

Ain't but one thing to do when you're in a hotel room over a loud bar,.....go downstairs and order a series of doubles.

They told us when we checked in that they would hold our room ticket open and we could put our dinner and bar tab on it if we chose to do so.

This is liable to turn into a $350 hotel room.

Jealous.....

Stayed at a turn of the century hotel once on one of our anniversary trips.

They had one of those antique fainting couches set up in the corner of the room.

Later that evening, the missus went along with fully trying it out.

Woke up the next morning and realized it would now probably need to be reupolstered.

Threw some pillows over it and checked out, lol.

Nice. The Driskill in Austin is haunted. Cool place but haunted. Stayed in a couple of very famous historic ones years ago in downtown San antonio that were allegedly haunted as well, spooky but nothing like the Driskill in Austin.

We're here.

This spirit is said to be that of a murdered prostitute. . . an undocumented event that occurred during prohibition times when the hotel was a speak-easy and brothel. This shy ghost is quite friendly. She simply sits on the bed in the middle of the night and kisses guests on the cheek, then disappears in a smoky haze.

I've spent a couple of nights in the Stanley Hotel too.

,.....didn't see any ghosts there, either.

Stayed at a real nice refurbished old hotel in Glenrock Wyoming...

We stayed in the Bullock hotel in Deadwood. Wild Bill was sitting at the bar too. I had about 15 Jack and waters that night

I was going to warn you it's probably haunted .

I did a week long job at the Driskill about 5years ago, and just about every where I had to be was in un occupied and empty parts and rooms of the hotel that weren't used. Swear I always felt someone watching and hairs on the back of my neck would stand up. I knew absolutely nothing about that place at all until much later after I was done there . Read about it and it all made sense.

There is a little hotel like that in Elk Mountain Wyoming. I didn't stay there but my brother and his wife did. They bought 40 acres just west of town and owned it like 3 months and someone offered them too much money to keep it. Supposedly there are oil sands in the area. Apparently the new owner thought he'd make a killing on splitting up that 40 acres. A few months later Barak Obama was elected and he shut it all down.

kwg

My childhood home was bordered on two sides by graveyards. Growing up,...most of my neighbors were dead people.

I don't get too worked up about "haints".

There might be some,...but they don't seem to feel the need to make themselves known to me.

They've been given plenty of opportunity.

Ramblin' Jack and Mahan?

Y’all don’t break the antique headboard tonight!

Grandpa always said he earned his receding hairline from banging his head on the headboard night after night.
With 9 kids and the way my grandma was always smiling, I never doubted it.

Cedar Key?
Nice place.

I liked the old hotel across from the bus depot in Spokane, Shabby, but clean and cheap. Good beds.

But that was 50 years ago.... and fit my pocket book at the time. Stayed there I think 3 times, passing through.

No whores, however. Could not have afforded one anyway.

We stayed in one in Americus, GA - didn't tell the wife the place was haunted - I don't believe in such things,
Anyway, that night she woke with a start, felt a hand on her shoulder that wasn't mine. To this day, she's very sensitive about that.

We live in Savannah, GA - lots of "haunted" places here

We spend the night at the Coupland Inn next to the dancehall on occasion. It was a whorehouse in the 1800’s. All kinds of boom boom been had in that building!
