A Particularly Loyal Employee
It isn’t just the river beside the hotel that has its fair share of unsettling tales, either. The stories surrounding the Edgewater Hotel are numerous, and each more gruesome than the last.
The kitchen staff has their own poltergeist, lovingly named Alvin, who enjoys nothing more than throwing ingredients around. According to staff, Alvin once worked at the hotel. His reasons for haunting his old place of employment are unknown, but he is persistent and shows no intention of leaving any time soon.
Guests at the hotel also have reported strange figures standing at the end of their beds, watching them sleep. Other guests have heard strange sounds beside them as they try to sleep, with no explanation in sight.
Then there is the story of a scout leader murdering members of his troop on the seventh floor.
The truth of some of these claims is hard to pin down. However, regardless of what may have happened within the walls of this hotel, there’s one thing we’re sure of: it deserves a visit.
