Hotel in their "I Died in This House" episode of "My
Ghost Story". The TV show segment titled "Shower Spa
Ghost" was narrated by Karen Shillings and Chad
Almond, both members of a local paranormal research
organization, as they re-told their experience at
the Majestic one evening with cameras in hand. They
experienced strange things including a curtain being
moved from the floor to the ceiling while their
cameras were rolling.
