The Hotel de Paris Museum in Georgetown, Colorado is considered to be "residually haunted," with paranormal investigators finding no evidence of intelligent activity but noting various unexplainable phenomena. Reported experiences include the smells of coffee, baking bread, perfume, and cigars, as well as the sounds of people moving and talking, and velvet ropes swinging on their own. Orbs have also appeared in photographs taken at the hotel. The hotel is thought to experience residual haunting, meaning the presence of spirits or emotional imprints from past events, rather than direct interactions with active entities. Staff and visitors have reported the distinct smells of coffee, baking bread, frosting, oranges, cinnamon, perfume, cigars, and curry without any discernible source. Indistinct sounds of people talking, laughing, and moving about have been heard, as well as the clinking of glasses, kitchen sounds, and the moving of bags of beans. Velvet ropes cordoning off certain areas are sometimes seen swinging inexplicably. Orbs, often seen as glowing spheres in photographs, have been captured on film at the location. Paranormal investigators Alan Megargle and Anna Meyer Evans conducted an investigation documented in the film Ghosts in Ghost Towns: Haunting the Wild West, concluding the hotel to be peacefully residually haunted.
