There are several ghosts staying here. Petey is one who moves small items or hides cigarettes in the bar. He is believe to be a young boy who was cared for by the Sisters of Mercy in the hospitals early days. A second ghost is a miner and has been reportedly heard and seen walking down the back stairs. The ghosts are friendly and playful here. There are also reports of other sightings and feelings in different areas of the hotel.
You may also encounter Stinky. He has been seen lurking around the back stairs and puts off a sewage-like smell.
