The Haunted History of the Fitzpatrick

The Fitzpatrick Hotel. Built in 1898 by the Fitzpatrick brothers, John and Thomas, it is well known for being the residence of the paranormal.

The most active of the hotel’s ghost’s? Two young sisters who died in the same room– one from illness and the other from a fall down a staircase.

“People who sleep inside 200 report waking up with a sore throat from the young lady dying from scarlet fever. They report hearing children playing outside of the room, they report hearing children run up and down the main staircase,” said Brittany Buttrey, General Manager at the Fitzpatrick Hotel.

The sisters were the daughters of Thomas Fitzpatrick, who lived with his wife and eleven children on the second floor of the hotel. Both were under the age of four when they died. Buttrey said the girls love to play and are sometimes mischievous.

Another member of the Fitzpatrick family is said to haunt the hotel too. An heiress to the hotel who caught her husband in bed with his mistress. She pushed the mistress out of the third story window.
