Guests have been known to awaken in the suffocating grip of dread, their breaths mingling with the cold, damp air that carries the weight of countless tormented souls, leaving them to wonder just who-or what-shares

In the dim, flickering light of The Lord Elgin Hotel's aged corridors, shadows stretch grotesquely as if reaching for the living, while doors creak open, whispering secrets only the walls have heard. Guests often feel an icy breath trailing behind them, a disquieting reminder that they are not alone; the ghostly figure of a woman in white glides silently, her mournful gaze lingering on their backs, as if counting the living before retreating into darkness. They say the hotel holds its breath at night, steeped in a silence so profound it hums with anticipation, leaving each visitor haunted by the suspicion that they are watched by invisible eyes yearning for something just beyond the veil of this world.
