'Black Jack' Sturgus, who was mysteriously shot in front of the hotel in 1921; his presence is reported near the site of his death. Guests and staff have reported strange occurrences such as flickering lights, items moving on their own, spectral figures, and children's laughter. Room 215 is often cited as a hotspot.

Inlet Tower Hotel & Suites
