The most common manifestation reported is the sound of a raucous party. The spirited function seemed to pause for a few years, starting in 2007, but as of 2010, the ghostly carousing seems to be back up and running.

It appears that any spirits in the hotel just had such a good time there that they didn’t want to leave, as no supernatural reports have seemed malicious.
