Haunted Hotels in Spokane, Washington

The Historic Davenport, Autograph Collection

10 South Post Street, Spokane, WA 99201

he grand lobby of this Renaissance Revival hotel is overlooked by a mezzanine, which serves as the stage for its most famous ghost. In 1920, a guest named Ellen McNamara fell from an upper floor through a skylight and died in the lobby. Her spirit is now said to wander the mezzanine, dressed in 1920s attire, peering over the railing as if searching for someone or something before vanishing. This haunting is a poignant example of a spirit seemingly re-enacting the final or most traumatic moments of its life.
