Harder Hall

Florida · United States · Execution site

The claim is that every owner of this 1920s hotel has died strangely, most of them inside it. That is worth examining rather than repeating.

Harder Hall at Sebring, Florida is a large hotel built in the 1920s, and it has changed hands a great many times.

The claim attached to it is that every single owner has died under extremely strange circumstances, most of them in the building, and that every accident in the hotel has killed somebody.

That should be treated with suspicion rather than repeated. A property changing hands as often as this one has will accumulate owners who died of ordinary causes over eighty years, and a chain of deaths becomes a curse only once somebody counts them up and leaves out the ones that do not fit.

No record supports the stronger version.

What is true is that the building is a genuine relic of the Florida land boom, a huge Mediterranean revival hotel put up when this part of the state was being sold as paradise, and it has stood empty for long stretches.

It is private property.
