this was built in 1992 – its not even historic
Actually the hotel was built in 1912 then burned and rebuilt bin 1917.
A structure doesn’t require an age to be haunted. Ghosts are known to die in one spot and gravitate to another. The whole town is historic with thousands of deaths. The land it was built on could also be the spot of many deaths occurring which would explain how the hotel could have spirits.
