The old structure was built as a mansion for a particular sea captain who ultimately went down with his vessel and left a grieving widow who spent her days pining for his return that never happened.
Eventually the mansion was used as a grand hotel, and now, in its current incarnation is an apartment building.
One of the previous occupants of my current rooms related he was disturbed from a sound sleep by a distorted, spectral woman shaking him into consciousness and weeping.
The woman vanished when he called out in fright.
The next day he went to the library to research the house and learned of the miserable captain’s widow still waiting for his return.
I got up to visit the facilities, and as I walked to the closed bathroom door it flew open with force and smashed me in the face!
