About This Location
Built in 1900 as an elegant spa resort, this three-story hotel earned the nickname Hotel Hell after decades of fires, deaths, and dark legends. A 2013 windstorm reduced it to ruins on private property.

The Ghost Story
Known as Hotel Hell, the ruined hotel is surrounded by legends of witches holding ceremonies, a portal to hell in the front fountain, and ghostly apparitions of former guests. Multiple deadly fires claimed lives over the decades. Charles Steinbrecher's grandson dismissed the ghosts, saying the only spirit his grandfather saw was himself walking around in his one-piece nightshirt.
