THE STORY

Reported Haunting

The historic Putnam Hotel developed a reputation for paranormal activity during its long years of operation. Guests and employees reported apparitions, unexplained footsteps, voices, and other strange occurrences believed to be connected to former residents and visitors who once occupied the building.

Reports say this hotel is no longer in operation, and was sold in 2013. Two ghosts are said to reside here. According to lore, a hotel guest once killed his wife and then committed suicide on the premises. Witnesses say sadness emanates throughout the building, and a shadowy figure has been seen in the hallway or heard walking or whistling. The sixth floor was said to be very active, although it was off-limits to guests and used only for storage.
