Hotel Del Coronado
Coronado, Calf.
The Hotel Del Coronado, was completed in 1888 was and
still
is a showcase of
opulent
Located at the western most periphery of San Diego
Bay, its
tall spirals and
stately countenance can make a person take a respite when
first
viewing it .
In the last nine years it has undergone extensive
renovation,
which has
enhanced it magnificence with the installation of
updated
convinces. Even
still it hold on to its old world charm, which attracted the
only
the most
noted celebrities the likes of King Edward VIII,
Marilyn
Monroe Charles
Lindbergh and so many others .
On a November day during the Thankgiving holidays in 1892,
a well
dressed
woman registered at the Hotel Del Coronado and was shown
up
to room 3312.
Her name was Kate Morgan and she was there to meet her
husband.
Their
marriage was not going will and even so, she had become
pregnant
and this
meeting at the hotel was an effort on her part to rectify the
estrangement
between her and her husband. But reconciliation was not
to
be, her husband
did not meet with her. Sometime after the time that Kate
Morgan
had hoped to
meet with her husband, she was found dead on the beach which
is
adjacent to
the hotel from a bullet wound to the head. The incidence was
declared
a
suicide by the authorities, but soon after the rumors
started
to the
contrary and persist to this day.
Allege to be haunted by Kate Morgan, is room 3312 and room
3205 have
been
over the years associated with paranormal phenomenon
.
The billowing of the
curtains with the windows closed and unexplained noises have
been
reported by
staff and guests.
Does Kate Morgan walk the Hotel Del Coronado ? Has she made
rooms
3312 and
3205 her home? Maybe the rumors were right it was not a
suicide
? And what
about the children do they become lost souls also? Maybe it
her
child that
haunts the Hotel Del Coronado ?
