Henry Lambert bought the property in the year 1870, and it was said to be a good fortune to him. In the year 1880, he constructed the second floor and turned it into the St. James Hotel. After a few years, the hotel turned into murder ground. Henry Lambert was killed mysteriously and the hotel was closed. Later, Edward Sitzberger purchased the hotel in 1985 and did renovations. Allegations took place over the hotel that it was built on the morgue and spirits are seen to the visitors.
Guests who booked room 310 will experience ghostly apparitions of Clara Lillyblad. Clara was a waitress at the hotel in 1914, she was married to the owner Charles Lillyblad, and later she died inside room 310. Today, her spirit still roams around the dining room and stays in the same room where she died.
Another incident inside the hotel is a hostile ghost that haunts all floors and attacks guests. There is a rumor that a construction worker died while working on the building. His ghost is violent and he attacks the guests who see him. Other guests have reported crying babies, cold spots, and ghost whispers.
