since 1915 the Garner hotel has been a
0:03
major fixture in downtown won Alabama
0:06
and served an old train depot which was
0:08
located just steps away and provided
0:10
Travelers a place to rest and spend the
0:12
night or nights but over a period of 100
0:14
years the building gained a reputation
0:16
is being haunted as many accounts of
0:18
what was termed ghostlike activity was
0:20
noted and documented inside the facility
0:22
a former worker in the building Eddie
0:24
hand recalled to Michelle Logan a
0:26
reporter for CBS 42 in Huntsville that
0:29
businessmen salesman they get a room
0:31
here if this area was important to those
0:33
who could have walked these hallways or
0:35
walked up these steps or gotten off the
0:37
train yes I do believe there are
0:38
supernatural beings Among Us Han further
0:41
recalled there was a trial going on and
0:43
someone was sequestered in there too one
0:45
of the Witnesses on that third floor
0:47
they said that someone came in and shot
0:49
this person through the door and killed
0:51
the witness apparently this supposed
0:53
incident helped create legends that
0:55
ghosts and spirits continue their
0:56
activities in the old hotel in later
0:58
Years Mark Sims purchased the building
1:00
which he converted into office spaces
1:02
and living quarters on the top floor
1:04
Sims told Logan the lights sometimes are
1:06
on when I haven't turned them on he
1:08
added papers will be shuffled around and
1:11
moved just to let you know you're not
1:12
alone the sweet Aram of brooded coffee
1:15
and tobacco smoke has also been reported
1:17
investigators with Southern paranormal
1:19
spent time in the building in 27 and
1:22
reported being odd by what they found in
1:23
the Paranormal Activity they detected
1:26
one report noted the group had
1:27
photographic anomalies and other
1:29
electronic reading that led them to
1:30
conclude the possibility that three
1:32
different Spirits actually occupied the
1:34
building out back of the building and
1:36
what is now a parking lot there's a
1:38
marker which gives details about the Old
