Ghosts at The Adolphus Hotel
Located in Dallas, Texas
The Adolphus Hotel in Dallas, Texas is a luxurious and historic hotel that has stood for over a century. But for some, it is not just the grand architecture and opulent amenities that make it a popular destination – it is also rumored to be one of the most haunted hotels in the country.
Located in the heart of downtown Dallas, the Adolphus was built in 1912 by Adolphus Busch, the co-founder of the Anheuser-Busch Brewery. It was intended to be the grandest hotel in the Southwest, and it certainly lived up to that reputation. With its ornate architecture, grand ballrooms, and opulent furnishings, the Adolphus was a favorite of the wealthy and famous.
However, it wasn't just the living who seemed to enjoy the lavish hotel. It is said that many of the hotel's former guests and employees have never really left, and their ghosts still roam the halls to this day.
One of the most well-known ghosts at the Adolphus is that of a young woman named Caroline. According to legend, Caroline was a guest at the hotel who fell to her death from the ninth floor while trying to retrieve a dropped necklace. Her ghost is said to still haunt the hotel, often appearing in the elevators and corridors. Some guests have reported seeing her reflection in mirrors, or feeling a sudden chill when she is near.
Another ghost rumored to reside at the Adolphus is that of a former employee named "Charlie." Charlie was a bellhop at the hotel who died in the 1920s, and is said to still be seen carrying luggage and assisting guests to this day. Some say that if you need extra towels or pillows, just ask Charlie and he will be happy to oblige.
Despite the spooky stories, the Adolphus Hotel is still a popular destination for travelers, with its luxurious accommodations and top-notch amenities. And for those who are brave enough, the hotel even offers ghost tours, giving guests the opportunity to learn more about the hotel's haunted history and possibly even encounter a ghost or two.
