Crescent Hotel is located in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. The hotel was built in the early 1800’s. It was used as a college during the 1920’s and then was transformed into a hospital/health resort which is said to have had quite a bit of controversy. The doctor there was considered to be a charlatan.

The hotel has had many claims of paranormal activity; all of which are of spirits.

In 1885, an Irish Stonemason by the name of Michael was killed when he fell from the roof. He died in what is now known as Room 218. There have been a number of reports that claim that his spirit switches the lights on and off in the room as well as the television. There are also claims that he pounds very loudly on the walls from inside of the room. There are also reports of a nurse who is dressed in white that has been reported to have been seen on the third floor. Another spirit is of a Victorian dressed gentleman who is seen quite often in the lobby bar; as well as at the bottom of the stairway.

Other spirits have been reported in rooms 202 and 424. One of the most noted spirits there is that of Doctor Baker, the alleged charlatan that ran the hospital/health resort. It is alleged that his spirit has been seen at the front stairway; as well as in the old Recreation Room.
