Sleeping in a Haunted Hotel in Cedar Key, Florida (true story)

Описание: Established in 1859, the "Island Hotel& Restaurant" is on the National Register of Historic Buildings. It is said that the old mansion is haunted by at least 13 spirits

---There is the story of a small black boy, about nine years old who died before the end of the Civil War.
The way the story goes--this small boy was hired by the manager of the general store and post office to sweep up and help around the property. Apparently, the manager spotted the little boy putting something in his pocket and thinking he had witnessed the boy pilfering something, chased him out the back door. The boy was never seen or heard from again. About a year later, while cleaning out the basement water cistern, a five-foot deep 2,500-gallon cement tank, in preparation for liming (lime was painted in cistern tanks to help keep the water from souring), the workers discovered the skeletal remains of a child. It is said the boy climbed into the cistern to hide from the manager, where he drowned. The basement is accessible through a trap door in the very back of the hotel. It is dark (some say as dark as the inside of a black cat) and eerie, with uneven floors and low beam supports. Down in that basement, it is said that the ghost of that scared little boy hides...

---There is the story of the Southern Army private soldier who stands guard on the second floor.
No one seems to know the reason or the whole story, but sightings of this apparition out-number all of the others. It seems that every morning just as the sun begins to rise guests can see what appears to be a soldier in a Southern Army uniform standing guard at attention just inside the doors leading to the balcony. The vision lasts just a few seconds but has been seen by dozens of guests over the years.

---The ghost of Simon Feinberg.
Then there is the story of Simon Feinberg, who according to folklore was poisoned by the hotel manager, Feinberg is said to be a "wandering ghost" who walks around the hotel, especially at night, appearing briefly to startled guests and staff. He too seems to be harmless at least if your name isn't Markham!

---The ghost who visits guests staying in rooms 27 and 28.
This spirit is said to be that of a murdered prostitute. . . an undocumented event that occurred during prohibition times when the hotel was a speak-easy brothel. This shy ghost is quite friendly. She simply sits on the bed in the middle of the night and kisses guests on the cheek, then disappears in a smoky haze.
