"The history of the resort is a little bone-chilling, despite the fact that many think that parts of the hotel were built to be ghost-proof: the stairs to each tower were built different, reportedly to confuse evil spirits. The hotel was built by wealthy industrialist Joseph Stickney in 1902. He died one year after it was completed. His wife Carolyn continued to spend summers at the hotel, even after remarrying. She had a private dining room, complete with a balcony that looked out into the main dining room so she could see what the other female guests were wearing and ensure that she was the most glamorous guest in the resort. After she died in 1936, employees began to notice strange activity in the hotel-- dark shadows, lights flipping on and off, mysterious figures appearing in pictures, objects moving around and disappearing, etc. Her ghost is harmless (she once owned the place, and wouldn't do anything to drive guests away) so if you're looking to meet her, book a stay in room 314. It was once her private apartment, and even contains her old four-poster bed." -Roadtrippers
