THE STORY
Reported Haunting
The Fitzpatrick Hotel is believed to be haunted by former guests and employees connected to its long history. Visitors have reported phantom footsteps, apparitions, unexplained voices, and objects moving without explanation throughout the hotel. The activity is generally described as friendly but persistent.
Following the ‘Great Fire’ of 1895, this historic hotel was constructed to provide accommodation for visitors to the town. Dating back to 1898, it is rumoured to be haunted by a lady in green, whose appearance is often accompanied by the scent of floral perfume. Phantom music has also been heard emanating from the empty ballroom during the hours between dusk and dawn.
