THE STORY
Reported Haunting
The Edwinola Hotel is a historic 1912 building in Dade City, Florida, now repurposed for senior and assisted living rather than as a public hotel. Despite its closure as a hotel, it remains in active use, and its haunted reputation comes largely from anecdotal reports from staff and residents. Self-operating elevators that move without apparent cause. Ghostly voices heard in empty rooms. A persistent smell of cigar smoke in certain areas. Sightings of a woman in a blue dress on the third and fourth floors, who reportedly vanishes when noticed
Although this 1912 hotel is no longer in operation, the building remains in use to this day. Staff and tenants at living quarters in the current establishment have reported elevators operating by themselves, ghostly voices coming from empty rooms, and the smell of cigar smoke. Others working the night shift on the third and fourth floor claim to have seen a woman in a blue dress watching them, who vanishes when she realises she has been noticed.
