On the hunt for some spooky fun in the heart of beautiful Louisville, Kentucky? Look no further than the stunningly beautiful, century-old hotel known as the Seelbach Hilton.
With incredible architecture and luxurious interior design, this beautiful building harbors a dark past.
Opened in May 1905 as the dream project of two brothers, the hotel was wildly successful. Just a few months after opening, 154 new rooms were added on.
Renovations were completed in 1907, and the result was nothing short of breathtaking.
However, in 1936, a woman named Patricia Wilson committed suicide by throwing herself down an elevator shaft following the sudden death of her husband in a car accident. She wore a long, blue dress, and had long, black hair on the day she died.

Ever since, guests and employees alike have reported seeing the woman wandering the hallways and around the elevators, seeming to be lost, sad and afraid.
The 2013 film "The Great Gatsby" utilized the gorgeous billiard room as a backdrop in certain scenes. The Seelbach Hilton is popular among the wealthy and famous for its top-tier service and atmosphere.
The hotel features restaurants and bars of its very own, and it is seated in the heart of a roaring entertainment district in downtown Louisville.
Guaranteed to bring thrills and maybe some chills, this decadent place is nothing short of the perfect spooky getaway.
