Hotel Vendome
This bed and breakfast dates back to 1917 and is located in the historic downtown area of Prescott, Arizona -about a block from Whiskey Row. Over the years, the hotel has gained a reputation for strange occurences and ghostly phenomena.
History of Manifestations
The Hotel Vendome has had many owners throughout the years. A woman, Abby had come to Prescott in the late teens for treatment for her tuberculosis/consumption. She married a Mr. Byr and the couple purportedly bought the Hotel Vendome in 1921. Unfortunately, they later lost the hotel because of unpaid taxes. The new owners kindly let the Byrs stay in Room 16, located on the second floor, off the veranda, and hired them to continue to manage the Vendome. One evening, Mr. Byr went out to get Abby some medication and never came back, either because he met with foul play or he deserted her. Abby was so heartbroken that she refused to eat and locked herself in her room until she expired, along with her cat Noble, who had been locked in the closet and starved to death.
Manifestations
Abby and her cat Noble began to make their presences known around World War II, and have continued to this day. They basically haunt Room 16, though she has been known to venture out to different areas of the hotel. The current owners have a large binder which holds information, sightings, manifestations of Abby and Noble. Below are just a sample listed in the notebook.
A) Sample of Occurrences which have happened inside Room 16:
1) The closet hangers have been heard moving by themselves, and the sound of a cat toy being played with can be heard as well.
2) Guests have experienced objects being moved when they are not looking, being touched softly by unseen presences, hearing or feeling Noble or Abby sitting on the bed, the smell of a strong perfume and feeling a gentle cool breeze blow past them in the room.
3) Abby will occasionally make a visual appearance and has spoken to guests when they're in a sleep state.
4) Spirit orbs have been photographed in the dark in Room 16 by psychic researchers Dr. Oesten and Dr. Gill.
B) Occurrences which happened outside Room 16.
1) Footsteps have been heard in Room 16, which traveled down the hall, and descended down the stairs to the lobby.
2) Maids, while cleaning up the various rooms, sometimes have the TV on while they work. They have reported that Abby will turn down the sound on the TV, if she doesn't like the program being watched, listened to but will turn the sound back up if the living will switch channels. She hates MTV!
3) Above the entrance to the Vendome, spirit entities have been seen in various forms. |
