1. So, Is It Haunted? Marker
This string of lights was found LIT with no batteries in a pile of stuff in the Hotel, after the building had been closed for two years!
Several people have reported the sounds of a little boy playing in the night running up and down the stairs. They found blue marbles and tin soldiers in the morning.
Paranormal investigators equipped with EMF meter, laser thermometer and cameras reported, "As we went up and down the stars, the meter reading indicated the energy source was following us."
Everything in the storage room was covered with dust except for the porcelain clown. Who put it there?
