The old Stanley Hotel, Overland Park

Kansas · USA · Hotel

An elderly resident with schizophrenia described a woman in a white dress floating above his wardrobe. She disappeared whenever he reached for her.

The old hotel at Stanley in Overland Park, Kansas had a long term resident, an elderly gentleman living with schizophrenia, who repeatedly saw a woman in a white dress floating above his armoire. Whenever he reached out to her she was gone.

That account deserves to be handled carefully rather than used as a punchline. A man with a diagnosis that involves seeing things is the least evidentially useful witness available, and he is also a person who was living alone in a hotel room describing the same thing over and over.

What gives the entry its footing is what came afterwards. In the years since, unexplained incidents have been reported by other people, including a fire on the third floor.

The building is one of the oldest in the area and the accounts have outlived the man who first gave them.
