I wish to stay
anonymous. But I first saw your site by trying to find out info on
Silver City. My husband and I where going to go for a weekend trip
to the historic city. I wanted to know if their had been a lot of
ghostly encounters there. But I only seen one encounter on your
site. But I gave you a ghost story about my visit to the Miners
Exchange in Idaho City.
The Bathroom story.
But we went to Silver City. And we did stay for two nights at the
Famous Idaho Hotel. The first night we arrived it was the 12 of
July 2003. My self and my husband our good friends. we all got our
rooms. We got room 27, and the other couple got room 30. These
rooms are located on the third floor of the Hotel. Room 27 is
located at the end of the long hall and is next to the old Saloon
area that is no longer in service. It has been closed due to the
conditions of the building.
The room has a window.
The view of the window is a hall way that has been closed off due
to the adding on to the Hotel in the late 1880s. All we could see
was darkness and broken beams. At this point something was not
feeling so good about our romantic get away room. We ate a
wonderful dinner at the Hotel and took in some late night site
seeing of the town.
The moon was almost a
full moon. We then went to our rooms for the night. As the night
began for us I was notice a strange odor from the room. Then as my
husband and I where laying in bed to sleep, I felt as if I was
being watched through the window. so I got up and closed the
curtain that was hanging on the window with no view.
My husband went to sleep
very fast. It was from all the Fat Tire Beers that they where
serving in the downstairs bar. But I was not able to sleep. I was
able to hear all the Hotel guest getting up to use the shared
Bathrooms that they have at each level of the old Hotel. Then it
began to get quiet. I began praying, asking God to put a circle of
light around our bed and asking for God to protect us. Then I
began to get very scared.
The sounds of the old
Hotel are very different from the sounds of home. Then as I was
laying on the side of the bed closest to the window I could feel
something touching my leg above the covers. Then it began poking
my leg. I could not bring myself to look.
I kept my eyes closed as
tight as possible, and kept my head under the sheet. Then I said
"Leave me alone." I snuggled up closer to my husband and asked him
why are you trying to scare me? And ask him why he was touching my
leg. He was very sleepy and said "What do you mean? I haven't been
touching your leg."
This was so scary for me
that the next night they gave me another room. I then told the
owners of the Hotel what had happened to me. The owner said that
they had a guest who had stayed in room 26 and they said that a
man named BRUMBAH had visited them and told them that he was happy
with all the restoration that was going on in the Hotel. Brumbah
killed himself in the hotel in its hay day of being a mining town.
The empire room is the
grand room of the Hotel it has been completely restored. And in
the room you will find a guest registry for all the honeymooners
and weekend guest that have stayed there. There are two accounts
that the guest have wrote about, of strange encounters of the
room. the Hotel has so much history of the wild days of old Idaho.
It was such an experience for me and the others. It is a must, for
anyone who loves history and ghosts.
