DC Hotel Is One Of The Most 'Haunted' In The Country: Report

WASHINGTON, DC — Just in time for Halloween, Historic Hotels of America has released their "Most Haunted Historic Hotels" list, and a D.C. hotel is on it.

The Omni Shoreham Hotel at 2500 Calvert Street NW was among the list of 25 hotels. It was built in 1930.

"During the Shoreham’s early years, three people died unexpectedly in suite 870," the report states. "At that time the apartment was occupied by one of the hotel’s owners, Henry Doherty. Juliette Brown, the family’s housekeeper dropped dead mysteriously one night at 4 am. Doherty’s daughter and wife also perished mysteriously in the same suite. During its vacancy there were claims of mysterious noises, doors slamming shut and furniture moving—many of which happened around 4 am, the time of Juliette’s death."

Historic Hotels of America examined 300 hotels with "long and storied histories" to make the list.

"Some hotels have reported ghosts and paranormal activity throughout the halls and in guestrooms giving those who stay a fright," the report states. "From ghosts who have been around since the Revolutionary War to jilted lovers, heartbroken, there are an abundance of ghostly sightings in historic hotels."
