Driscol Hotel
There are many legends surrounding this hotel. In one, a young girl fell down the stairs to hear death. It is said that occasionally, children�s laughter may be heard coming from the bottom of the stairs. In another story, a woman became depressed when her fiancee called off the wedding and thus hanged herself. The woman has allegedly been spotted wearing a wedding dress in several areas of the hotel. In the final story, it is said that a man spent many years of his life living in the hotel. He can now be seen smoking cigars throughout the building.

Don’t be afraid to wander the halls of the different floors but be prepared to feel a bit “lost.” The layout is a bit maze-like which can certainly add to it’s haunted feel. Open random doors to see old parts of the building that were never completely renovated; there’s something to be said for discovering an old room made of crumbling brick walls just beyond a wall of sheet rock (obviously you should make sure these aren’t emergency exits with alarms that will sound) If you feel like some exercise, climb the stairwells in the old part of the building to revel in views from the windows that you wouldn’t otherwise notice from the outside…Just a few tips from a recent Driskill exploration

I am an ex employee at the Driskill. I did hotel engineering there which is the maintenance of the facilities. I had access to the whole place including areas that most employees dont even get to see. Like storages on the roof tops that store old pieces to the original building i.e. chandalears, original wood screen doors that where huge once hung at the entry, and creepy portaits etc. I’ve had a couple of experiences. Once I was doing grave yard doing a light check walk around down the old flight of stairs and I hear,”MAY I HAVE A LIGHT” it was clear as day and I replied “I dont smoke” I turned around and there was nobody there. This was at like 3 in the morning. Another time I was doing a walk around and using the service elevator to get me around and it kept taking me to the 10th floor on the traditional side. At first I thought the elevator was screwing up I checked and it was fine. And on one of the many trips on it that night it took me back to the 10th floor it was icy cold in the middle of summer and you could see your breath. I went back down to tell my story to the security guy who was a friend of mine and he’s like dont tell me this stuff because I’ve gotta do my rounds when a young lady from the room service came up to us and asked if we could escort her to the 10th floor for a food delivery because she had been experiencing weird things that night on that floor. Me and the security guy just looked at each other with a freaked out look. And I told him, See there is something going on up on the 10th floor. There were a few other strange things that happened but by no means did I ever felt in any danger.

ive been there twice. the 1st time i was really young and it was me and some girls in the bathroom near the down stairs ball room. this was back in the 90s but my large hair scruny moved half way down the counter as if some one was cleaning the surface.
the 2nd time i was ghost hunting there with my mom. it was late and i locked myself out of the room, my mom was on the big balcony smoking, i asked for the key to get back in… she was pale as if she saw a ghost… she said she called the room to get a hold of me and someone answered…. the voice was female and was talking all strang and jibber-like.

i live in the marthas vineyard apartments and one day, my friend and i thought there was a ghost in a pipe. we would hear voices, and banging in the pipe. so, we tied a string to my friends camera, and ties the other end to my booklight. we lowered my light into the pipe, and suddenly, we felt a tug on the camera. we lowered it in some more, and out of nowere, we felt this voilent tugging on the camera, we took a picture, but the force was so strong, the string snaped. the camera was fine, but we ran away screaming. i swear, i am not lieing. when we saw the picture, we saw a face on the side of the pipe.
