The St. James Hotel in Cimarron, New Mexico, is reportedly haunted by the ghosts of its notorious past, with paranormal activity including disembodied voices, unexplained sounds like boots walking in the hallways, and items moving on their own. Room 17 is associated with Mary Lambert, the wife of the founder, where visitors report the scent of roses and gentle touches, while Room 18 is the domain of the spirit of T.J. Wright, a cowboy who died in a poker game and whose room remains closed to guests. Guests and staff have heard sounds of boots walking in the hallways, whistling, disembodied chatter, and tapping on windows. Doors open and close on their own, and items are said to fly off shelves. The distinct scent of rose perfume is frequently reported in the hotel. People have felt a touch on their back or been touched on the feet by unseen forces. Radios have been observed changing stations by themselves, and other electronic equipment has reportedly malfunctioned. Mary Lambert (Room 17): The spirit of the founder's wife is believed to be tied to Room 17, where the scent of roses and gentle touches are common.

Wright, who won the hotel in a poker game and was subsequently shot and killed. Room 18 is permanently closed to the public due to repeated incidents when it's been prepared for occupancy or renovation.
