The Rose Hotel (originally the Grand Rose Hotel) in Elizabethtown, Illinois, is reportedly haunted by the former owner, Sarah Rose, and possibly other spirits, with alleged paranormal activities including unexplained movements of objects, a disembodied female voice, and sightings of her ghost. As the oldest continuously operating hotel in the state, built around 1812, it is rumored to be haunted by its past guests, with some accounts including graves in the backyard and unmarked remains of former slaves and other guests. Sarah Rose's Ghost: Many reports describe sightings of a female ghost, believed to be Sarah Rose, walking in the second-floor hallways and on the stairs. Guests have reported seeing objects move on their own during the night. A disembodied female voice is sometimes heard within the hotel. Some accounts also mention unexplained sounds and the feeling of a presence, potentially related to the hotel's long and complex history, which includes the presence of unmarked graves in the backyard.
