The Unexplained at the Hotel Conneaut

In the small town of Conneaut Lake, Pennsylvania stands a very old hotel known as the Hotel Conneaut. The hotel hosts an urban legend about a bride named Elizabet who was said to have burned to death in a fire started by a heavy thunderstorm. This was during World War II on the 29^th day of April in 1943. The new couple was celebrating their marriage at the hotel. Elizabeth's husband was an American soldier who was scheduled to leave with his unit three days later. Legend has it that Elizabeth's husband went back into the hotel to look for his new bride only to discover that she had perished.

Since the tragic event, there have been unusual occurrences with the hotel staff and guests. Some have seen Elizabeth walking the halls of the hotel frantically searching for her husband to come save her. Others have noticed unexplained phenomena, such as water faucets turning on and off by themselves or people being touched in the hallways. Could this be the ghost of Elizabeth reaching out from the other side?

I have personally encountered the unexplained along with members of my staff. I work for a cleaning company and we are the housekeepers for the hotel on a weekly basis. During the week, the hotel has very few guests so this is when we come in to clean all the rooms in the hotel. Here is how the story goes:

On one Tuesday, we cleaned a floor and a half of rooms. On the second floor, the crew missed these two rooms at the end of the wing because the doors were shut. At the time, we thought it was due to the ceiling fan blowing the doors closed. It very well could have been the case. So our supervisors reprimanded us being as we were behind schedule and forgot about these two rooms. We went back and did them accordingly.

On Wednesday, another crew cleaned the rest of the hotel. The next day, the crew I was in did the fixer-uppers and the crew that was there on Wednesday was with us. The supervisor was telling me that we skipped those two rooms that our supervisors yelled at us for skipping.

She said, "The beds weren't made and the sheets were scattered all over the room as if someone threw them." Ceiling fans aren't THAT windy! My other Tuesday crew member and I were arguing with them over how we DID clean those two rooms, including making the beds, and that we specifically remembered cleaning it since we had to go back and do them.

Of course there very well could've been a good explanation for this; but not only did this make us scratch our heads. It also made us very angry! It doubled our workload! Could this have been Elizabeth playing a joke on us or was this her way of searching for her husband to come save her? The other side only knows...
