Last week we had an interesting overnight at the Hotel La Rose in Santa Rosa, CA. This historic hotel is located in "Railroad Square" and was built in 1907.
The hotel looked like it had some history to it, so I asked the girl at the front desk if the hotel was haunted. Her eyes lit up and she began telling us about how they just had a seance a few days earlier on Halloween night and that there was definitely some spirits around the hotel.
Supposedly the story is that many years ago, there was a family staying in room 42 that where killed by bandits and the ghost of the little boy named Daniel, who was killed in the murders, rides the elevator up and down at night looking for his parents.
My First Officer, Paul, stayed in room 44 and I was lucky to stay in room 23, two levels down from the supposed haunted floor. I was a little weirded out after hearing the stories, but I actually slept very well. Paul said his room was a litle spooky, but he didn't hear or feel anything out of the norm.
The next morning, I woke up and looked out my window and the fog had rolled in, adding to the ominous feeling I got of the whole place. I was a little spooked as I was riding the elevator down alone, I had the feeling that there was someone next to me, but I think it was all in my head.
I asked the new front desk lady and the lady serving breakfast if they ever felt or heard anything in the hotel. They both said that they have heard someone call out their name and objects have been be moved around when no one is looking....

Very nice entry - I am working at the hotel now- I believe I am the gal at the front desk you are talking about =)
I had dinner at the La Rose Hotel last night, and when I went to the bathroom in the hotel lobby, I felt a haunted feeling to the hall way by the bathroom attached to the restaurant.
When I came back to the table I told my husband, I really felt that the hotel was haunted. He laughed.
Well, this morning I decided to check on the internet to see if the place was haunted, and it was. I always know for some strange reason. I guess I have the six sense.
Thank you for this story, working on a project about hauntings here in Santa Rosa.
"little" is spelled wrong in the fifth paragraph
