Buffalo Bill Cody established the Irma Hotel in 1895. Cody built three hotels, one of which being the Irma. This hotel, on the other hand, was strategically positioned near the town’s railroad station to cater to the lucrative tourism sector. The hotel, named after his youngest daughter, Irma Cody, opened in 1902 to entertain visitors from all over the world. Summer guests, big game hunters, and businesspeople were among those that arrived and stayed at the hotel. However, as part of a divorce settlement, Buffalo Bill was forced to turn over ownership of the Irma Hotel to his estranged wife, Louisa, in 1913. Unfortunately, in 1917, the Irma foreclosed and was sold at an auction. Nicely enough, Mr. Link, the guy who bought the property, later sold it back to Louisa, who resided there until her death in 1925.
Friendly spirits drift about the hallways of this wild west hotel. Some may even hang around in the hotel’s unique rooms or engage in nefarious activities in the dining area. Most exciting of all, you could get a glimpse of the original owner, William “Buffalo Bill” Cody, or his daughter, Irma, as a ghost. While the majority of the spirits that have taken up home in the Irma Establishment are nice ghosts who keep an eye on the cherished hotel, one ghostly visitor has malevolent intentions. Legend states that during the turbulent years of the wild west, one of the Irma’s guests was known as the ‘guest from hell.’ He was a cruel and perverted person who hung his victims from his room window with a belt around their necks. Some claim he’s willing to talk to visitors but won’t go into detail about his crimes for fear of being exorcised or banned from the luxury hotel.
