Read the ghost story below...
Two ghosts haunt this old hotel. Employees of the hotel have named one of them "Mary." They believe she is the spirit of a young lady who died of pneumonia in her room, while waiting for her fiancé to return from a gold-prospecting expedition. She still haunts Room 23, where ghostly images of a woman have appeared and guests have complained of choking sensations in the middle of the night. Room 14 is haunted by a strange "light form" that moves around in the room at night. Nobody knows who, or what, it represents.
I personally visited Skagway in May of 2009. The hotel is no longer a hotel. The signage is still there so it is easy to find in the middle of town. It has been modified however. The ground floor is for shopping for all those people coming off the cruise ships. I was told that the last time the property was for sale, they kept the haunted room intact. While the realtor was showing the place, a buyer might ask, "what is that rocking chair doing in the middle of the room?"
