Review:

The Crescent Hotel is a historic hotel on Prospect Avenue in Eureka Springs, Arkansas with a reputation as one of America's most haunted buildings. Hotel guests can enjoy a Crescent Hotel Ghost Tour for a small fee, or they can just wait for a ghost to appear in their rooms. Built in 1886 as a luxury resort for the rich and famous who came to Eureka Springs for its healing waters, the hotel had a turbulent history and changed owners and its purpose many times. The hotel is said to be haunted by at least eight ghosts.

Among them, you might find a young woman who is said to have jumped from the roof, a nurse who worked in the hotel while it was a hospital, the ghost of Dr. John Freemont Ellis, Theadora (a cancer victim), and others. The hotel was part of the TV show Ghost Hunters, presenting the ghost of a man wearing a hat and nodding his head. The guests of the hotel are known to roam the corridors, which is nice to know if you're trying to capture an image of ghosts with your camera.
