The ghost of the hotel's former owner roams the halls. Clara Lillyblad lived in room 310 when she operated the hotel, and according to exploreminnesota.com, she's been known to make her presence felt in the hotel and especially in that room.

The Star Tribune details a horrific 1890 shipwreck on Lake Pepin where 98 passengers drowned.

In the days after the ship went down, the hotel was used as a makeshift morgue.

A lot of people believe the ghosts from that shipwreck still reside in the hotel.
