The Crescent Hotel

Jessica (my sister) and I are going to Eureka Springs in less than two weeks and we’re staying at the 1886 Crescent Hotel and Spa. I can’t wait! We’re going for my friend’s wedding which will be a lot of fun in itself but we’re staying at the Crescent for two nights and I'm looking forward to that. The Crescent Hotel is considered one of the nation's most haunted hotels. I know I’ll have hundreds of pictures to sort through and hopefully I’ll catch something a little paranormal.

The last couple of years I have gotten on a bit of a paranormal kick. I even thought about joining the local paranormal society if I had free time, which I don’t. I applied for a position but I had to turn it down because I decided I didn’t have the time for it. (I don’t think I’ve told anyone that yet. Shows a little bit of my true obsession.) Anyway, one of my favorite shows of course is Ghost Hunters. I like Ghost Hunters because they go in to disprove and debunk hauntings. They like to base their judgments on evidence. Well, they got a pretty good piece of evidence at the Crescent Hotel.

Check it out.



The Crescent Hotel has gone through many stages but one of its darkest times was when it was a “fake” cancer hospital. Norman Baker advertised the place as a health resort where the local spring waters could cure cancer. Legend is that he experimented on both the dead and the living.

Hopefully when I come back I’ll have more evidence to share.
