The Gibson Inn

Florida · USA · Hotel

A guest who died of pneumonia at the Apalachicola hotel is described as a considerate presence, unless you leave room 128 in a state.

The Gibson Inn stands on Highway 98 at Apalachicola on the Florida panhandle, and the presence staff describe is a former guest who died there of pneumonia during his stay.

What is reported is spread across the building rather than confined to one room. Footsteps late at night with nobody in the corridor. The piano in the bar playing after closing, with the room empty. He is described as appearing to both staff and guests, pulling blankets off sleepers, and tidying: shoes and belongings found moved into neat positions.

Everyone who works there describes him as harmless and even courteous. The one exception concerns room 128, and the warning is consistent enough that staff pass it on. Guests who leave that room in a mess report that their belongings are disturbed and that the disturbance continues for the rest of their stay.

The inn is a working hotel and the staff will tell the stories if asked. The most common report of all is the plainest one: the feeling of being watched, anywhere in the building.
