The Prince George Hotel
200 Ontario Street
Built: 1809
Haunted: unknown
History
Before the hotel was built, the site was occupied by a smaller home belonging to the Herchmer family.
The daughter of the owners, Lily Herchmer, fell in love with a sailor and was forced
into a clandestine affair by her family's dissaproval. She used to hang a lantern in the window as a signal to her lover
that it was safe, but one night she fell asleep and the wind blew the flames into the room. She was killed in the blaze.
The current hotel was rebuilt on the remains in 1809.
Hauntings
The apparition of a young woman has been reported on the 3rd floor, presumably watching the ships in the harbour.
A woman has been seen attempting to enter room 206, before vanishing, while a shadowy form has been seen drifting through the hallways.
In one of the most sensational stories of this old hotel, one of the cleaning women finished clearning and locking the last room, only to hear all the other locks on the floor being clicked open.
One of the double beds in room 310 has been seen to levitate 3 feet off the floor. The tower light turns itself on, even when the breaker is turned off.
