Room 502, currently room 3502, was hotel owner and builder, E.S. Babcock's room. His mistress took her own life, after finding out she was pregnant with his child. There have been reports that lights flicker on and off in the room and an unexplained chill has been reported in the space.

No - -that sound is not coming from your children! Guests have made reports of a boy and girl running up and down the hotel hallways and stairways. Guests have claimed that they have felt a chill and heard unexplained "childlike" noises.
