Meet the ghosts of Eureka Springs' Historic Hotels

These images were taken on the stairs of the second floor of the Crescent Hotel. This photos were taken during a Eureka Springs Ghost Tour of the hotel. They kindly allowed us to use these images.

Members of TAPS, The Atlantic Paranormal Society as they arrive along with a crew from the Sci-Fi Channel to film a segment featuring the ghosts of the Crescent Hotel for the Sci-fi Channel's show, "Ghost Hunters".

The Crescent Hotel's Front Desk Staff can barely be seen in this mysterious photo. According to Front Desk employee, Ruth Willis, "All of the pictures before and after this one were fine.  Linda Mock didn't move the camera when this one was taken.  Supernatural?  I think so..."

This photo was taken in the North Penthouse of the hotel. The bright orb in the center of the photograph appeared when the film was processed.

My friends and I stayed in Room 202 on March 24 and saw something strange in one of our photographs. A friend took a picture of us sleeping in the morning and there is a peculiar silhouette of a man with a brimmed hat looking over us.

It is not a shadow and we can see the side of the man on the pillow. Nobody in the room even brought a hat to the hotel with them.

This ghostly image was captured outside the Crescent Hotel by the Garden Gazebo.

My husband Lu & I stayed at the Crescent last weekend, 2/28-3/1, 2009, in the governors suite and in room 218. My husband and I took over 700 pictures during our wonderful weekend in Eureka Springs. This was our first trip to the area, and it was not easy to get there with the snow/ice storm our first night.

There was a wedding going on in the Crystal Dining Room, lots of people around, but we decided to walk the hotel and take pictures. My friend from Savannah, Ga, was with us, and we were feeling like kids w/ all of the excitement (and the wine) so we went through the Women's Conservatory to the outside area w/ the gazebo.

My husband stayed outside of the conservatory, in front of our room (gov suite) taking continuous shot photos of the entryway into the conservatory w/ our Nikon camera. After we got back home Monday evening, we were looking over the pictures on the computer and came across something very interesting. At the time he took these pictures there was no one around, only him (he's a federal agent, and was not partaking in our wine adventures). I would like for someone to have a look at these photos, and possibly post them on your website. I am reluctant to send these to just anyone, but I feel the owners and staff of the hotel most definitely deserve to see what we caught on camera.

We had a lovely time, the staff was excellent. We will be back, but I don't think I could stay in 218 again. There was a lot of unexplainable experiences in that room. I did get "touched/shoved" in the morgue right outside of the "freezer" area, on the wall w/o the freezer door. I also got tapped on the shoulder in the bed of room 218. We have many interesting photos, but these take the cake!
