The ghost is said to be that of Ephraim Wells himself, whose portrait hangs proudly in the hotel. The ghost likes to move things around when no one is present, and strange noises are heard at night. Doors slam on their own and an elevator frequently comes down from the third floor when no one is around.

Room #324 is said to be home to at least one strange incident. A maid went to clean the room, but found the door stuck shut. She said the door literally "sucked itself shut" with the exact same results for all three tries at opening the door. On the fourth try, it opened normally.

It is also said that the sounds of writing can be heard coming from Mr. Wells' former office on the second floor, and footsteps are heard walking down halls and passageways.
