This room has been sealed off and its mystery has continued to grow over the years. According to the legend, a grisly murder took place inside the room which left an indelible mark. A man went mad, killing his wife and daughter before killing himself.
Guests who stay in rooms on either side of Room 873 have reported seeing shadowy figures and even hearing screams. What makes the stories even more mysterious is that Room 873 does not appear on the floor plan of the hotel.
There have been numerous sightings of ghosts and apparitions that are not directly associated with the Ghost Bride, Sam the Bellman, or Room 873. And the hotel itself has embraced the reputation, holding events on Halloween, ghost tours, and telling stories that showcase the supernatural aspects of the hotel.
