THE STORY
Reported Haunting
The Algonquin Hotel has long been associated with reports of paranormal activity, including the ghost of former longtime guest Harpo Marx according to some stories, along with other unexplained encounters. Guests have described phantom footsteps, mysterious knocks, and apparitions in hallways and guest rooms.
A famous literary hotspot for a collective of artists and authors’ known for their vicious wit and referred to as the Round Table during the 20’s, many luminaries lunched daily at the ALgonquin and many keep coming back even after their death to continue the good times and good conversations. Both the lobby and the dining hall are reported to be haunted by former literary stars.
