Lord Baltimore Hotel, Baltimore
The Lord Baltimore Hotel is known for paranormal activity and its haunted reputation, most notably the spirit of a young girl named Molly, who is said to play with a red ball and haunt the 19th floor where many suicides occurred during the Great Depression. Other reported paranormal events include disembodied touches from icy hands on an elevator, a child's handprint that won't go away, and mysterious occurrences in the ballroom and guest rooms. The most famous ghost is Molly, a young girl associated with a family who jumped from the 19th floor during the Great Depression. Guests and staff have seen Molly in a cream dress, bouncing a red ball on the 19th floor or in the ballroom, and sometimes appears crying or screaming. She is often seen on the 19th floor, the same level where a significant number of suicides occurred after the stock market crash. Guests have reported being touched by icy hands when the elevator stops at the 19th floor without being called. A persistent handprint of a child is said to remain on a wall in one of the hotel's penthouses. There are reports of furniture moving, footsteps, and TVs turning on and off by themselves. A silhouette of a couple, believed to be Molly's parents, has been seen dancing in the ballroom. The hotel was built in 1928.
