The most famous haunted room in town is in the Gunter; Room 636. Though the hotel was built in 1909, the woman who haunts its hallways is a more contemporary ghost. According to legend, a man checked in to the room in 1965, and left it bathed in blood four days later. After the room was found in this grisly condition, witnesses came forward saying they saw the man carrying a bundle in his arms. On careful inspection, a bullet hole was found in one of the room's walls. It was reported that the man had been seen during that time coming in and out of the hotel with a sophisticated-looking blonde woman on his arm. During the investigation, police found receipts for some items the man had purchased earlier, including a meat grinder. A few days later they received a tip that the man had checked into another hotel nearby the Gunter, but before police could track him down he had committed suicide. Now Room 636 is a children's suite -- complete with Nintendo and bunk beds -- adjoined to the adjacent room. |
