History:
Meet Flo, the National Hotel`s Friendly Ghost
Flo generally stays upstairs in the hotel, seemingly favoring the rooms in the front of the building although she has, on
occasion, been seen early in the morning downstairs, floating through the dining room and right through the walls.
Each of our guest rooms has a notebook which welcomes guests to share their experiences and comments. There are
numerous accounts of doors slamming, lights going on and off, clothing being dumped from suitcases onto the floor,
and a woman`s sobbing coming from the hallway in the middle of the night. Whoever she is, she adds a little extra
spice to all our lives. Many a non-believer has left here with a whole new attitude. Our housekeepers say they have
gone into rooms only to be greeted by icy cold air within the room even though the heater was working.
Reported paranormal activity:
The first thing I do is go through the interview process. I interview G.G. Gruel - Webmaster/Events
Coordinator/Marketing Manager/Visual Decorator and Lisa Lawmaster - Bartender/Desk Clerk. This is what I learn from
the interviews:
The resident ghost is named Flo aka Flora. Flo is described as having sandy blond hair. She wears her hair up. She
has been seen in a white lace wedding dress. It is believed that Flo died at the age of 19. She died of a broken heart
when her fiancé was ambushed at the hotel bar and shot while walking down the steps. People who patronize this hotel
say that this hotel has a life of its own. Flo`s presence is strong in this hotel.
One male patron was a disbeliever of Flo, and Flo would not allow the bartender to pour from the drink nozzle. From
the drink nozzle would have came out cranberry juice. When he finally said he believed in Flo, then the cranberry juice
came out from the drink nozzle to make his alcohol drink.
Flo will get frustrated and want to make her presence known. One night she took a picture from the wall and it hovered
in the air for a while, then settled down on the other side of the bar.
Lisa Lawmaster has seen Flo with her peripheral vision peeking from around the doorway at her.
Some male guests make claim that Flo has sat on their chest, or sat on their laps. One male patron could even feel
Flo`s breath on him. Some mischievous activity are: lights going off and on; footsteps heard in hallway; footsteps heard
approaching doors and then stopping; patron`s luggage unpacked by unseen forces; boom boxes turn on by
themselves and music plays; there is an argument at the bar and a coffee pot filled with coffee grinds is thrown across
the bar.
Findings:
Room 4 is the coldest room. There is no explanation why this is the only room that is so cold. When the Mysterious
Realms investigators went into this room, we all felt the coldness.
Using the MCCABE METHOD of EVP`s- We acquired one EVP. Question asked``Are you here?`` A deep male EVP
voice says``I`m here.`` In one room, the K2 Reader and EMF Reader go crazy in two different areas of the room. No
outlets are causing the unusual spikes.
While taking pictures of the group, I can see a woman entity go across the mirror through my digital camera viewfinder,
but when I look up, I cannot see the female entity.
Photographs show designer orbs around Shannon McCabe. NOTE: Paranormal activity cannot be determined by orbs
in photographs.
Conclusion:
Due to the activity on the Franks Box and the EVP collected we agree that there is paranormal activity at the 1859
Historic National Hotel in Jamestown, CA.
Equipment Used:
* digital audio recorders
* video cameras
* EMF Readers
* K2 Reader
* digital cameras
* Frank`s Box (read below)
Bobby Marchesso brought out what he calls the ``Frank Box``. It`s a transistor radio connected to two speakers. When
you ask a question, the search mode on the radio will tune into various words, in which the entity can use to talk with.
We got all kinds of answers to various questions. Voices that said: yes, sure, Steve (many times), Bobby, Paul, poison,
etc. We asked how the entity died and it says poison two times. The entity says Steve many times and the proprietor is
named Stephen Willy. The entity calls out my name and calls out Bobby`s name. It`s an interesting tool and I want to
continue using it, to better understand the methodology.
