THE STORY
Reported Haunting
The historic Hotel St. Nicholas is said to be home to several friendly but mischievous spirits. Guests and employees have reported unexplained footsteps, moving objects, apparitions, and other playful disturbances throughout the former hospital building.
The spirits at this historic hotel are said to be friendly, but mischievous. Two of the most often seen ghosts are Petey and a gold miner. Petey is the ghost of a young boy who may have been in the care of the Sisters of Mercy for whom this building was originally erected in 1898. He is known to take objects from guests at the bar. And the second ghost, the gold miner, is seen and heard walking on the back stairway or sitting on a stool in the office.
