St. Charles Hotel, Carson City Nevada

This is a picture of the St. Charles hotel in Carson City Nevada. It is the site of lots of creepy stories and events. Soon the restaurant ‘Firkin Fox’ will open here, and you HAVE to see their website, it’s funny!

This hotel was popular in the 1800s and that’s why it’s so haunted. One man that stayed at the hotel used to wear a top hat. Years later people who stay in his room often encounter him, this ghostly spirit was soon known as the Top Hat Ghost.

The manager of the hotel showed us a picture on the wall that every so often tends to jump clean off the wall!!! We inspected the picture and took it from the wall. It seems to be firmly attached, and we agree with Linda that it flying off the wall every year or so is strange.

We found a picture in the manager’s office taken when the St. Charles was new, the picture has the number ‘216′ on it. That number became more important as we investigated.

I asked her what they meant but she didn’t know later I realized that 216 was the number of the room that the man in the top hat stayed in. the scary ghostly visits seem to happen for a reason here!

In the hotel me and my dad both felt feelings of presence and scary feelings like you’re being watched.

We took many pictures of this scary hotel and almost all of them had orbs and ghost’s glow in them.
Only one things for sure in the 1800s the room of 216 was soon to be haunted by the Top Hat Ghost

Top Hat Ghost

The Top Hat Ghost occupied room 216 in the 1800s, and he visits people today.

You can stay in room 216 today if you have the courage because the top hat ghost still thinks it’s his room.

A famous boxer, Larry (Irish Pat) Duncan, stayed in room 216 for many years, until he died November of 2004. Larry often told the St. Charles manager (Linda) about the Top Hat Ghost, and how the ghost thought room #216 belonged to him.

216

Room 216 is the room of the top hat ghost, who stayed there in the 1800s, and still haunts the place today. Years after the man died Larry Duncan stayed there and kept on seeing the top hat ghost. He often told friends at the St. Charles Hotel about the ghost.

After Larry died the room was rented to Hair Stylists who installed an extra sink in what is now a closet. The sink was removed and the room is now rented to a new tenant. The new resident keeps hearing running water from the closet.

After Larry Duncan left a new guest sees the same ghost, so this is sheer
fact that the top hat ghost never left!

Jumping Picture at St. Charles

This painting of a mountain meadow is secure fastened to the wall with a nail and a strong wire, yet once a year or so it jumps, doesn’t simply fall, right off the wall and lands several feet away.

The manager has experienced this several times, and it never seems to have a cause, such as an earthquake, wind through an open door or anything. This was the main eerie event that Linda has personally experienced while managing the St. Charles.
