Geiser Grand Hotel, Baker City
The Geiser Grand Hotel in Baker City, Oregon, is considered haunted by several spirits, including a "Lady in Blue" or "Grandma Annabelle", a young girl seen on the third floor, a headless former chef, a cowboy, and a saloon dancer in a red dress. Guests and staff have reported unexplained noises like footsteps and whispers, objects moving on their own, and flickering lights, with some experiences centered around the hotel's historical library and Room 302. A popular legend describes a woman named Annabelle who wears a long blue dress and is seen floating down the grand staircase, sometimes disappearing into walls or sitting on beds in Room 302. A female child is often reported on the third floor, and some reports include recordings of her voice. This figure, seen dressed as a chef, is said to have lost his head in a tragic incident involving a dumbwaiter. An unknown male entity, possibly a cowboy who was shot at the hotel, has been reported. A saloon dancer in a red dress from the 1920s has been spotted by some. Guests and staff report hearing footsteps in empty hallways, whispers, and sometimes screams.

Some paranormal investigators have captured EVPs, including a recording of a man saying "I sees you". Built in 1889 to serve wealthy clientele, the hotel became a central hub in Baker City, a city once known as the "whore house capital of the West".
