Beautiful old hotel with wonderful staff. The hotel was built in 1882. It doesn t have quite as many famous guests on its register as the St. James, but Buffalo Bill and Doc Holiday are rumored to have stayed there
I had the most haunted room for two nights (including Valentine s Day), but it was a pretty uneventful stay. In reading the room s ledger left behind by other guests, it seems former owner Byron T. Mills occasionally plays harmless pranks on guests in that room knocking on the walls or sitting on the bed at night or emitting a whiff of cigar smoke. Nothing too extraordinairy. However, the housekeeping staff told me that Mr. Mills most certainly does not confine himself to that room. While two housekeepers were changing the bedsheets in another room one day, the clock radio suddenly came on. Amused (and familiar enough sport car rentals in charleston with Byron s pranks to not be afraid) the two finished making the bed, at which point the radio promptly turned itself back off!
The bartender (young male, probably sport car rentals in charleston early 20s) told me that he and his friends had recorded some EVPs in the room the previous week. However, as it was Valentine s Day night, he was extremely busy and we didn t get a chance to talk more. All of the five locals I chatted with at the bar were very familiar with the haunted room ( Oh, she s staying in 310! ) and its legacy.
Mr. Byron T. Mills didn t make an appearance for me during my stay (although I did catch a few stray orbs in some of my photos, and some odd EMF readings the night of the 13th that weren t there in the morning. Haven t reviewed the audio recording for EVPs yet.) Both dogs acted just fine in the rooms.
One odd occurance: On one of our many trips outside to potty, Belle flat-out refused to go down one set of stairs. She planted herself like a little bull and wouldn t budge (see pic below). Lilly, however, wasn t afraid of the stairs and didn t see any reason to be upset. But Belle wouldn t change sport car rentals in charleston her mind. So we walked over to the other identical, twin stairwell. No prob. Belle bounded right down them. To see what she d do, we walked over to the other set of stairs (the one that she wouldn t go down a few minutes ago). She was just fine with going UP them whatever it was that was on the stairs before must have been gone by that time!
