History
Once, the Goldfield Hotel was one of the wealthiest, most lavish places around. Now, it’s merely another building in an almost abandoned gold mining town. Today, the town of Goldfield is home to less than 300 people. The man behind the hotel was George Wingfield, a wealthy banker and miner. When he ran the hotel in the early 1900s, gold was available in mountains. But as with all mines, they must run out. George was married but had a habit of frequenting prostitutes. To his dismay, one day a prostitute called Elizabeth informed him that she was pregnant with his child. Instead of defacing himself and his marriage, he hid her against her will. Elizabeth was chained to a radiator in room 109 and supplied with enough food and water to keep her alive until the baby was born. However, she was never seen again, and no one really knows if she died during the birth, or if George murdered her. As well as this, the baby was never found. Rumour had it that George killed the baby too by throwing it into a mine shaft.
Paranormal Activity
Unsurprisingly, Elizabeth haunts the hotel, and as far as ghosts go, she isn’t very friendly. However, she will never bother guests who check-in to ‘her’ room, 109. Although, people can still hear her cries, along with the cries of a baby from inside. The hotel actually featured on an episode of Ghost Hunters, where bricks can be seen levitating in the air, before being hurled across the room. Other visitors have said they experienced sudden changes in temperature and unexplainable noises. Aside from Elizabeth, the hotel is thought to be home to other entities too. This includes one male and one female who killed themselves on separate occasions inside the building. However, there is another very sinister entity nicknamed ‘The Stabber’. Apparently, he will randomly attack people who cross the threshold of the building with a large knife.
