The hotel closed in the 1960s and the building fell into disrepair. It got new life in the 1980s when it was renovated and turned into a restaurant. The paranormal activity began as soon as the restaurant opened. It continues to this day. In fact, several long time staff members say it’s picking up steam. Bottles crash to the floor, glasses leap out of their racks, and chairs screech across the wood floors in otherwise empty rooms.
The activity is so intense and so frequent, employees decided to give their ghost a name. They call her Charlotte. They suspect she was one of working girls who lived in the old hotel. Charlotte is not only active; she’s very particular. She wants nothing to do with women. She ignores them completely and focuses all of her energy on the guys. It’s not a friendly energy. Charlotte hates men. The Galley’s building dates from 1899.
No one knows who this entity may really have been or why she is so angry. Could the fact that bedroom doors from the old Hackett Hotel decorate the Galley’s dining room be part of the problem? If they were gone, would Charlotte leave too?
