1895 National Hotel

• Best Time to Go:Around Halloween for a real spook

A woman checked into the National Hotel in 1897, often ing to the Sierra Railway Station in search of her fiance, John Davies, who left Quincy, Massachusetts in 1895 to work on the railroad and disappeared.

Four weeks later, she was found dead in her room. A piece of paper on her nightstand addressed to John Davies declared her love for him and said she’d never stop looking for him. A local doctor said the cause of death was simply that her heart stopped.

The woman’s name was lost during a fire, but now nicknamed Flo, her ghost stays mostly upstairs where guests report doors slamming, lights turning on and off. Some say their clothing has been dumped out of their suitcases. She is sometimes seen wandering through the dining room downstairs in the early morning.
