THE STORY
Reported Haunting
The American River Inn is rumored to stand near a mine shaft where several miners died during the Gold Rush. Its resident spirit is often described as another miner who reportedly died after being stabbed during an argument. Guests have reported phantom footsteps, electrical disturbances, and unexplained activity in Room 5 and other parts of the inn.
Host to a long history, this inn is rumored to be situated near the site of a mine shaft that claimed the lives of several miners back in the gold rush days. The inn itself however is believed to be haunted by the ghost of another miner, one who was shot dead on the steps of the inn. The staff and guests refer to him as Oscar. Room 5 is reported to be the site of the majority of the activity.
