Monterey Ghosts Walking Tour By US Ghost Adventures
"The tour guide we had was Luke, he indeed held a latent and even a staff. Luke made us feel very comfortable and was very knowledgeable about the historic area. He gave very informative and in depth history of each historic building along with their haunting stories and the origins. Once we got to the historic Monterey Hotel there were two hotel workers right outside of the hotel entrance that recognized our tour guide as the “ghost tour guide guy” and they called us over. The hotel workers told us more ghost stories from fellow co-workers and hotel guests. One of the stories involved the most haunted room by an entity named Frank who used to work at this historic hotel. That haunted room was room 217. The stories ranged from feeling cold spots to seeing a male shadow figure in the room. The hotel workers ended up inviting us inside to take a look around. The hotel lobby was a charming Victorian space, with an original large safe behind the check in counter. We got to go upstairs to take a peek at the room area. The whole area upstairs felt eerie and suspended in time. I took a quick pic in front of room 217, thanked the workers, and then left. The whole night was fun and informative. The buildings were amazing and I hope to get to go inside of them during the day:)"..."
