What a beautiful Hotel this is. I encourage all to travel to this place of mystery. I stood by the room, where Kate Morgan stayed, I felt such sadness. I was told Marilyn also is a guest that has never left.

I have read on the truth about Kate Morgan, and also have been to the Hotel del Coronada. It is reported that she took her own life and not in her room but on the stairs outside the hotel, and was found by one of the workers there in the morning. She was quite depressed over her husband leaving her and had hoped he would follow and meet her at the hotel. But since he never arrived she became more depressed and took her own life. Some would like to believe that her husband did kill her but the facts say different. It is true that she still is at the hotel, for I’ve felt her looking out the upstairs window and I believe she is still waiting for her husband to come join her.

i have been here too, and it seems normal..

this is not the true story. I KNOW IT! the real story is the woman checked in to the hotel under a false name one night with no bags. later that night, she walked to the beach and shot herself in the head.

Sorry to burst everyone’s bubbles, but Kate was NOT deserted by her husband – it was the other way around – she ran away with another man.

Tom Morgan was a rural mail carrier in Burchard, Nebraska at the time of her death and I have the PROOF – the original telegram Tom received from the San Diego coroner advising him of her death.

Tom was my grandmother’s brother.

but we all don’t know anything now do we…but what if it was the opposite way where she shot her husband the shot herself…you never know….What IF

but we all don’t know anything now do we…but what if it was the opposite way where she shot her husband then shot herself…you never know….What IF

That’s not how the story goes. You see, Kate Morgan and her husband traveled around the country by train. Kate and her husband we gamblers. Kate was a very beautiful woman and the men found it hard not to look at her, Kate would often pose as her husbands sister and flirt with other gambling opponents, Kate’s husband would sneekingly come about and cheat his way into winning the other persons money. When one day the couple had an argument, the two made up, Kate’s husband told her to take a train to the city of San Diego and check in at the hotel “Del Coronado” and he would then later meet up with her. Kate checked into the hotel under a different alias and stayed at the hotel for the amount of 1 week. She waited desperatley for her husband, often Kate would hardley ever order any room service, and some days never come out of her room at all. Finally, Kate came to the conclusion that her greatest love was not comming back for her, in destrot and with nothing left to do Kate Morgan shot herself in the head on a staircase outside in the back of the hotel. To this very day and how legend has it Kate Morgan’s ghost walks the grounds of the hotel still waiting for her husband to come for her.

hello i live rite by it i see the lady all the time i messed around with her too!

SHERMAN LIVES PUTOS!

I stayed at Hotel Del Coronado 2 times and i went to bthe top floor and saw her ghost and the real story is that her and her husband got in a fight and she said meet me at the “Del”. She waited and waited and he never came to the “Del” so she took her own life and shot herself

how do you know wich story to beleve I’ve been and saw strainge things to.I’ve heard so many stories by now.

wat a *******! wat should he care if his wife left him;he alredy had another woman!this story is ret@rted!!!!!
~W.C.~

There’s actually a book written about the entire case, but I’m not sure it came to an actual conclusion. I read it so long ago I almost forgot about the whole story until I came upon this site. But it’s definitely closer to the truth than some kid’s story on here.

this story is cool. if u have a story to tell me email me at alyssag527@comcast.net

the travel channel says that she fell to her death, never said anything about being shot,, this hotel is wonderful and beautiful.

hey i used to live in san diego, i went to that hotel with the boy scouts. very interesting, i heard that isn’t the only haunting their. my bro once told me that sum guy got like poisoned or sumthing from the resturant and haunts that area. any 1 else herd that.

I went there this past summer me and my mom heard a low moan like a man thing we asked my aunt’s sister if it was haunted and she said yes. its a beautiful but it is haunted.

When my family visited San Diego this summer, a friend of my brother-in-law took us to this hotel. We went in [although we didn't go to the rooms because we were not guests of the hotel, just visitors] and it seemed pretty normal, there were no paranormal activities. When we were leaving, we wanted to know the story of the hotel so we asked one of the workers who worked there for many many years and he said something like this:
“[the story about her husband and the gambling and how she shot herself] but he also added that the husband was having an affair with the maid. When she found out that Morgan killed herself, she also killed herself in her room, two floors above. When visitors visit, they say that the maid’s room is more haunted than Kate’s room. There were instances of when the Bellhop carrying luggage to the room and then all of a sudden the bed was unmade.”
So that’s what he said. I’m really adamant about this story, but it’s a good one to tell.

this story is a lie i know the true story of how kate morgan died…… i have researched on kate morgan and the cause of her death was unexplainable……these are all jiberish lies if you want to know the truth…. stop posting up the fake stories and actually do something……

Kate Morgan was born Kate Farmer in Hamburg Iowa. She married Tom Morgan and the couple earned a living by riding the trains, cheating and conning their fellow passengers. Kate traveled by the name of Miss Lottie A. Bernard. Her husband Tom went by the name Dr. M.C. Anderson. Usually Kate would attract a male passenger and tell him that if he wanted to continue seeing her that he must gain the approval of her brother. Of course, her brother was actually her husband Tom. This would eventually lead to a game of cards. Tom would then swindle the man out of whatever he could. Kate would then dump the suitor and the young man would leave with little or no money, and no girl. Tom and Kate would then keep moving with the trains.

In November of 1892, Kate found herself pregnant and wanted to stop the scams and settle down. Tom not only was upset about a possible child, but did not want to stop his lifestyle. The couple quarreled and Tom got off the train in Orange California. Kate continued on to San Diego to stay at the Hotel del Coronado. She expected her husband to meet her there for Thanksgiving. She checked into the hotel on November 24th and told the employees that she was waiting for her brother. Tom never did arrive, and Kate never left. Kate was very depressed and tried to induce an abortion by taking a huge amount of quinine. She also made a trip to town and purchased a gun and shells. Five days after checking into the hotel, she was found dead of a single gunshot wound to the head. Her body lay on an outside staircase leading to the beach. Blood was found on the gun and on her hand. It was quickly ruled a suicide.

In 1990, a book called “The Legend of Kate Morgan: The Search for the Ghost of the Hotel del Coronado” was written by Alan May . His book refutes the suicide claim and gives compelling evidence that Kate was murdered by her husband. A maid that may have befriended Kate is said to have also disappeared at that time. Some suggest that she was also murdered but the body removed by the hotel staff and the story hushed up so as not to arise anxiety with the hotels guests. Since Kate’s death in 1892 there have been many instances of paranormal activity at the hotel. One of the hot spots of activity is Kate’s room, number 302 which is now 3312. The activity is not confined only to that particular room though. Voices are heard when no one is there. Objects seem to move by themselves, lights flicker, TV’s turn themselves on and off. There are unexplained noises, strange unexplained smells, sudden temperature changes, strong drafts even when the windows are closed and even sightings of Kate herself. One of the better known cases is of a secret service agent that was staying at the hotel protecting the president. The agent was staying in Kate’s old room. He complained to the management that there was too much noise coming from the room above him. The only problem is Kate’s room is on the top floor.

This story is false, i bought the book about Kate Morgan.

Her husband did not shoot her, i have read that she killed herself, and not in her room but on a staircase in the del.

so stop telling lies, this is stupid.

there are hauntings in her paticular room, but that is NOT where she died.

if your going to make a website about “actual” haunted houses, or places at least get the story right.

ive read at least 6 or more comments saying youve lied, so you should probably get the hint to CHANGE YOUR STORY.

this is what i know about her…

San Diego…MICHIGAN???? Did no one else catch this? Unless there was some sort of massive cross country re-location effort, last I checked San Diego AND Hotel del Coronado were in California. In fact, I am due to be IN San Diego later this month-maybe I had better inform the airline that our flight may have to be re-routed.
Where are the editors or web masters?
“Please use correct grammar, capitalization, and punctuation. Let’s try to keep this place looking classy.”
How about adding, “let’s keep this place looking credible?”

Lady Drizzt — That was my mistake. I was doing some updates yesterday, and my clumsy fingers must have hit too many checkboxes. Anyhow, it has been fixed.

I was in San Diego earlier this summer and I can assure you that the hotel is still there. Enjoy your trip!

this is true: ok i lived in a haunted house! and the ghost’s lives in my room! and i was ashleep one night and my closet door kept opening and closing… so i got up and went to my closet and my bears were moved all over my floor so i was creeped out…. but then i went back to sleep and about a hour later i woke up and my blankets kept pulling off of me so i was afficaly freaked… TO BE CONTINUED

The Hotel Del does NoT overlook the San Francisco Bay seeing as it is in Coronado and Coronado is in San Diego, WAY FAR from San Francisco…

We have been researching this case for over 2 years. We have spoken to the Beautiful Stranger who tells us she is Lottie Bernard. This has be proven by very deep research not available on the net. For more information on this case please go to: http://www.sdparanormal.com/page/page/507340.htm

OKAY PEOPLES HERE IS WHAT I THINK I THINK SHE WAS WORRIED AND DEPRESSED BECOUSE SHE WAS PREGNET AND DIDNT HAVE MONEY DIDNT EVEN HAVE LUGGAGE WHEN SHE CHECKED IN THAT HOTEL MAYBE SHE WAS SCARED HER BABY WASNT GONNA HAVE A GOOD LIFE BECOUSE NO MONEY THE KIDS FATHER WASNT EVEN THERE AND SO SHE COMMITED SUCIDE BUT THATS JUST MY OPINION.>=] DONT DIE TONIGHT

Hey, did anyone READ this story? The hotel overlooks San Diego Bay not San Francisco! What a hoot (no pun intended). Everyone is focused on the ghost and no one sees the obvious error with this story. Oh well, no one cares.
Happy Halloween 2008.

it is San Diego Bay… not San Francisco Bay…

Youv people are silly talking about haunted houses my house looks just that and it is not haunted at all!!!!!:)=

We cover what Realhaunts.com doesn’t!

I was wondering when someone was going to mention the locale. I went back to read it again to make sure of what I read. Technically it does not overlook the San Diego Bay either. It faces the Pacific on the ocean side of Coronado Island. It is an awesome and grand place. One of those “if these walls could talk” places. There is a book ‘Somewhere In Time’ that takes place in San Diego at the Del. The Movie, ‘Somewhere In Time’, is set at The Grand Hotel on Mackin Island, Michigan. Good Story either way.

That would be The Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, Michigan

The Hotel del Coronado is indeed a beautiful old hotel, looking out over the ocean. However, it looks out onto the San Diego bay and NOT San Francisco!

My husband and I stayed at “The Del” last January for our sixth anniversary. I didn’t see the ghost but I did have creepy vibes and felt as if someone was watching me from the window of the top floor when I was walking out on the beach. I was unable to sleep both nights because the door of our room kept moving and shaking. My husband wasn’t bothered by this, he slept like a baby. We heard a child crying in the room next door and when we called the concierge to complain he said that we were the only guests staying on our floor. That totally bugged me out!
We also got into a crazy fight because my husband went into a fit of jealous rage and it actually scared me a bit. This had NEVER happened before! I blame it on the ghost.
Overall it was an awesome trip. The hotel is very beautiful and old. You can explore the entire resort at your leisure. The coolest spot is the third floor where Kate Morgan stayed before committing suicide due to a broken heart. The hallway is extra wide, which makes the third floor super creepy. You feel like you’re in a scene of The Shining!
I highly recommend visiting the Hotel Del Coronado. You can relax of the beach, have an amazing gourmet brunch, get a massage and possibly see a ghost!

i stayed there for 109 days. the first day i was there,i felt a tug on my man-gina hair;so i stayed there another week…
the next week i felt a hand rubbing my butt,when i turned around though,nobody was there…
i took a shower 5 weeks later.i reached down to get my coconut shampoo and when i looked up i saw her face.
she had a mustache,a beard, she had no boobs,her hair was shaved off.she looked like brittany spears!then she turned into dust and i found that it was GUNPOWDER!i looked around the room and found 4 bra’s lying on the floor.later that night i put them on and masterbated with them.

In the 2nd paragraph it says that the hotel overlooks San Francisco bay, IT should say San Diego Bay.

My wife and I went to the Hotel Del Coronado to meet friends for a wedding. My wife and I arrived to the Hotel early Friday monring around 1:30 am. Our reservation was messed up due to the computers down. The Hotel was quite and reminded me of the Shinning. It was a very nice Hotel. We went to sleep that morning and I felt very weird as if someone was in our room. No big deal, I chalked it up to being in a new place. I did not know of any of these stories until the next evening when we met our group. They only said a women was died in the hotel by suicide in the 1800’s. I thought, I am from Vegas and people die in hotels all the time. My wife and I went back to our room around midnite and found our room’s bed not made and a message on the phone with flowers and a card thanking “Gail”. I could not retreve the message on the phone. At 4:00 am I woke up for not reason and loooked at my wife who woke also, kinda weird we both just opened our eyes and looked at each other. I said that was weird why did you what up, she said I don’t know. The celin fan was slowly turning and I got up to and checked my watch. it was exactly 4:00 am. We were in room 3324. After about 10 minutes trying to go back to sleep we heard a crying/laughing and a loud bang. We went back to bed and checked out the next day. My if went into the gift shop as I was waiting in velet. She opened the book on the drive home. I asked her to look up incidents about 4am and she said oh my God there are several. So that’s my short true story. The hotel made a beliver out of me “goose bumps” nice hotel though.

the hotel del does not overlook san fransico bay!!!! it is on coronado island nin san diego

My absolute favorite place in San Diego. I grew up staying here with my family every Christmas Eve. Amazing experience every year. I am trying to get my office to have its Christmas Party here this year, teehee =)

I most certainly believe of its hauntings though. I had formed a very good relationship with some of the storekeepers…amazing things they had to say.

Why is that no one can spell correctly when they leave their comments? Spell check people!
