Ghosts and a School Parade

We stayed at a small hotel, the Vendrome, in Prescott, Arizona for the past 2 nights. Built in 1917 and modernised in 1983 the hotel is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. A sign outside the front of the hotel records a previous advertisement proclaiming rooms in the hotel as being $1.50 for a single room and $2.50 for a double. We paid more, but for the quality of the place, at less than $100 a night, it was good value.

The hotel is said to be haunted. The story is that at some point in the hotels history, a small girl and her cat starved to death in room 16 and both her ghost and that of the cat can be heard in the hotel. We didn’t hear anything.

This is room 16 which people stay in even though it is now more like a shrine to the girl and her cat, with toys and trinkets being left for them....

On one of the evenings we spent in Prescott, there was school parade, so I grabbed my camera and fired off a few shots. The light was going fast and as a consequence, I was struggling to keep the pictures from blurring even with cranking up the ISO setting ....

The next day we did see this..... I guess the U.S. Marshall has good taste!....
