Rumors of hauntings at the former Bates Motel in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, include mysterious noises, disembodied figures, and an uneasy, watched feeling. The motel has since been renamed, but some guests reported supernatural activity when it was still open to the public under the infamous name. Guests in rooms 1 and 3, and occasionally rooms 9 through 11, reported a sense of unease or the feeling of being watched. Some guests heard strange sounds, doors opening and closing, and unidentifiable voices. Reports described ashtrays falling off tables and personal items being moved around the room. The sighting of ghostly figures and apparitions has also been claimed. Visitors reportedly experienced unexplained sensations of coldness in certain areas. The lights in rooms would sometimes flicker on and off without any apparent cause. The motel's haunted reputation is a blend of its real history and its famous name. The building was originally an officer's barracks at the Farragut Naval Training Station during World War II. Some believe the hauntings could be related to a deceased soldier. The motel, located on Sherman Avenue, is no longer called the Bates Motel. It now operates under a different name, and the famous sign is long gone.
