the room.
Hotel Mead in the 1950's
MANIFESTATIONS:
HISTORY: In the 1953, the basement
known as the Shanghai Room, was used as a bar and gambling room. It is
said that a female bartender was stabbed to death, which hasn't been confirmed.
It is probable though that someone, an employee of the hotel was killed
here, as the room was haunted with paranormal activity suggesting a murder
happened here.
* The living can smell the distinct
odor of spilled blood, when standing 20 feet away from the room.
* The lights have been known to
flicker in a spooky manner.
* The room is always very cold in
temperature, though there is no explainable reason why it should be
so chilly.
* Doors slam shut by themselves.
Still Haunted?
It depends who one talks to.
The management will not acknowledge
that the basement is haunted and has forbidden their employees to talk
about the paranormal activities they have experienced. However, some employees
have talked off the record, describing their experiences with some investigators,
despite the rule not to do so. It is hard to keep a paranormal experience
to oneself.
