Crescent Ghost

Submitted by Jerry Saunders

My wife and I were passing through Eureka Springs and we always enjoy the historic district, so while driving through it we came by the Crescent Hotel and noticed they had a Starbucks, we opted to stop and just look around and get a coffee.  We toured the ground floor and found it interesting that the entrance for Morris the Cat was still there as if he was still around.

 

But to get to the point, I needed a restroom break and the men's restroom is located downstairs.  When I opened the door, there was a man, dressed in a vintage brown suit with vest, mustache and a bowler type hat.  He didn't speak but did look at me.  For some reason, I looked away and when I looked back he was gone. 

The restroom was empty. I was leery from then on but nothing happened.  On returning upstairs, we were looking into the window of a shop and out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a white vapor arising up the stairs from the basement and then it disappeared once it reached the lobby. 

 

I admit I had been skeptical about ghosts in the past, but having this encounter, now I believe.
