The front desk suggested I write to you about our experiences at the hotel on the night of June 6 and June 8. A friend and I were staying in room 203. During the night, my friend reported that something shook her bed. I was sleeping across the room in another bed, and didn’t experience the bed shaking, but woke up screaming. I couldn’t identify what happened, but knew that I had been startled.
We both went back to sleep, but in the morning remarked to one another that we had heard a glass clinking and then being set down hard on the dresser. We looked at the top of the dresser and noticed that the cork was out of the wine bottle. Then, on the 8th, we both remembered (the next morning) that we had smelled flowers as we were falling asleep.

Hello, My name is Matt and my wife Melinda and I stayed at the Crescent hotel this weekend. (6-26-10) The hotel is very beautiful and well maintained. The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful and the breakfast we recieved on Sunday morning was exquisit. We also took the ghost tour and Glen was an excellent guide.
The fun that we had was disturbed about 1:00am on sunday when I heard the sound of shuffling feet in our room. I sat up in bed and to my horror I saw an old man who also seemed to be balding with a black suit coat and white shirt standing at the foot of our bed. I could only see this man from the waist up, there was nothing below his waist. I shook my wife awake and the ghost had dissapeared.
I asked my wife to lay facing me (since I was scared to death, lol) after about a half of an hour I started to feel something pulling my toes on my right foot, something poking my head and my right side. This went on for about an hour. After I thought I had enough for the night I heard a voice whisper the name “Darcy” into my ear twice.
After I heard the name I woke my wife up and said “We need to leave this room for a while” and we left. We went downstairs to inform the staff as to what happened and they didn’t seem the least bit surprised but had said they had never heard of any “activity” in room 309. I’m glad we stayed at the hotel this weekend and would love to stay again as soon as I build up the courage.
I spent the evening of July 20th at the Crescent with my mother. We took the 8:00 ghost tour which was very informative and I also got a couple of pics with orbs in them. But, I really wanted to let you know about a personal experience I had there.
At around midnight while preparing for bed I was going through my pictures and noticed a light going across the corner of one. It was where the ghost tour guide told us to snap pics down the stairs where there is said to be a spirit of a small boy.
I told my mom I was going to investigate what it could be. So I walked down the hall from my room on the third floor to the stair way and positioned myself in the same spot and took another picture.
I realized the light had been the string from my camara hanging down and the flash illuminating it so that it looked like a streak of light across the photo. But, while standing there still examining the pictures on my camera I heard a whisper directly behind me. It said “Holly” as if someone was trying to quietly get my attention. I turned around and there was nobody there or anywhere near.
I got chills from head to toe and rushed back to my room shaking. I’m very pleased and excited it happened because I almost thought I was going to leave with no real valid experience which is what I came for. I love that hotel. Its beautiful with a crazy history. I will be back as soon as possible hopefully for a longer stay.

My mother, my godmother, and myself recently stayed at your lovely hotel on March 17th through March 18th. It was my birthday, my sweet sixteen of all things, so naturally us ladies wanted to do something interesting away from the men for once. We spent the night in room 213. I had always believed in ghosts, but had yet to actually have an experience. We went to bed after our 9:00 ghost tour. I was disturbed from my sleep at approximately 6:00 A.M. I could have sworn that someone groaned directly in my ear, a man specifically. Soon after I took a shower. While I was drying my hair, my mother walked in and claimed that someone was playing with her hair. We started arguing, just a random disagreement about buying a ouigi board, and I felt someone pinching me on my waste. It wasn’t too rough, but it was stern enough to pull a good yelp from me.
Before my shower, I had grabbed my necklace and set it down on the arm of the chair in the far corner of the room. Taking note that the chair was very sturdy, I sat down. The chain of the necklace was draped over the arm of the chair, the clasp broken and therefore very loosely hanging off, but to my surprise, as I glanced away I realized that the necklace had fallen directly in the center of my lap. Considering the position of the necklace and the fact that no movement I had made in that chair could shake it enough to throw the necklace, there is no possible way that the necklace could’ve ended up in the very middle. I found the broken clasp below the chair.
My paranormal experience ended with a bright orange orb flashing out of the top corner of my eye and out onto the balcony. I went downstairs to eat breakfast, grabbed the luggage as quickly as possible, and got out of there, feeling very uncomfortable and unwelcome all of a sudden.
This was overheard by a guest from a daughter and her mother who stayed at the hotel. They were staying in room 213. The girl (age 13) said she felt “someone” poking her through the night while she was in bed and the next morning found her jewelry that had been on the dresser on top of her in the bed. Also, her mother said while she was blow drying her daughter’s hair that next morning, the mom felt someone playing with the top of her (the mom’s) hair.
