Eklund Hotel

15 Main St, Clayton, NM 88415

Established in 1892, the Eklund Hotel retains visible bullet holes from its past. Room 307 is said to be haunted by a benevolent former maid named Irene, manifesting as creaking floors and faces in the wallpaper. Additionally, the restless spirit of outlaw Tom “Black Jack” Ketchum, who was executed nearby in 1901 after a botched hanging, is believed to haunt the premises. Professional ghost hunters in 2015 also documented a 'sassy older woman' roaming the building.
