Dear Ghost Enthusiast,

Towering over the Victorian village of Eureka Springs, Arkansas, the historic Crescent Hotel casts a long shadow over the surrounding Ozark mountains—not just physically, but also supernaturally. Built-in 1886, this grand old hotel has been dubbed "America's Most Haunted Hotel," a title it wears like a badge of honor.

The Crescent has served many roles—from a luxurious resort to a conservatory for young women, and later, infamously, as a fraudulent cancer hospital run by the charlatan Norman Baker in the 1930s. It’s in these varied past lives that the hotel has seemingly collected an eclectic array of eternal guests.

Among the spectral residents, the most notorious is Michael, a young Irish stonemason who fell to his death while constructing the hotel in 1885. His spirit is often encountered in Room 218, the site of his fatal fall, where guests report inexplicable cold spots, ghostly hands, and eerie sounds of crying echoing through the night.

Then there's Theodora, a patient of the fraudulent Baker Hospital, who introduces herself to unsuspecting guests as they enter her room, only to vanish as they turn to greet her. Her spirit, trapped by the pain and betrayal of her final days, wanders the halls, perhaps in search of solace or revenge.

Adding to the hotel’s haunted lore is the apparition of Dr. John Freemont Ellis, the Crescent's original physician. His figure is occasionally seen in the old recreation room, his ethereal gaze peering over spectacles as if waiting to diagnose one more curious visitor.

But the Crescent's ghostly tales aren't confined to human specters alone. Morris, a beloved cat once owned by the hotel, still makes his presence known. Guests report feeling a feline brush against their legs, only to find no creature there, and Morris' ghostly figure has been spotted lounging in his favorite sunny spots long after his ninth life should have expired.

Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, a night at the Crescent Hotel offers more than just luxurious accommodations—it promises an encounter with the past, tangible in the chill of the night air and the whisper of voices from an era gone by.
