The Mayflower Park Hotel is in Seattle, Washington and is a historic hotel you can still stay in today. This hotel has been around for 95 years, since 1927. Originally, it was named the Bergonian.
The Bergonian was built by Stephan Breg, and it was a costly project. It cost 750,000 dollars. Along with that, in 1946, the drugstore that occupied the first floor left the property. The Bergonian purchased that space and the leftover equipment. In the late 1940s, using this equipment they bought, they opened the Carousel Room. This was the Bergonian’s bar, and it became the first hotel in Seattle to have a bar. The bar quickly became a very popular place to get drinks and was able to seat over 75 people. However, by the 1970s, the Bergonian was in need of repair. Birney and Marie Dempsey were entrepreneurs who funded the hotel 1.1 million dollars. This happened in 1974, and the renovation gave birth to the new name of the Mayflower Park Hotel.
Since the Mayflower Park Hotel is a historic site, it is believed there are ghosts wandering the halls and spooking guests. Luckily, these spirits appear to be friendly and have not harmed the guests in any way. However, some of them are a bit spooky. There is one ghost, unnamed, that floats around from room to room and watches guests sleep. He is an older man who died in the hotel, and it is unknown if his intentions are innocent or not. It is said this man died on the sixth floor of the hotel. There is also a second ghost roaming the property. This ghost is on the eleventh floor, particularly in room 1120. This ghost is a middle-aged man who plays little tricks on the staff. Similarly to the older ghost, this ghost likes to watch the guests at night. There was a report that this ghost took a bucket of water from one of the cleaning staff. It moved it a floor down in the exact same spot the cleaner left it on the upper floor. Since no one was around, the belief is that the ghost did it.
