THE STORY
Reported Haunting
The Shaffer Hotel is said to be haunted by founder Clem “Pop” Shaffer, his wife, and a man reportedly connected to a death in Room 16. Guests have described moving shadows, flashing lights, sudden cold spots, and the outline of a body appearing on an otherwise empty bed.
Witnesses, including ghost hunters, have determined that the hotel is haunted. Some have described lights that flash in the Wedding Suite and the unexplained smell of chocolate in the “Handicapped Room.” EVPs, photos, and other evidence of spirits were collected here, including the word “Shaffer” spoken in response to the question “Can you tell me what your name is, please?”
