Buck Hill Inn is the site where a number of people have met bizarre fates. One victim, whose name is being withheld, was on his way out of the hotel when two gunmen pulled up in a black sedan and fired five .38 caliber rounds before speeding away. A drunk employee fell to his death from the fourth story, apparently while trying to get into the room adjacent to his. His body was found the next morning impaled on an iron railing. A visiting psychic reported that his death could have possibly been a suicide. In 1968, a local cabdriver was found alongside the hotel, shot to death in his car. One man was murdered in the laundry tunnel, allegedly because he was unable to pay his gambling debts to the Mafia. The case was never solved.
Guests of the inn have woken up to strange voices, shaking beds and even ghostly apparitions hovering above their beds. Eventually, the Buck Hill Inn's business suffered because of its growing reputation for being haunted. The hotel's bookings fell over 50 percent in just one year. Numerous guests have reported strange occurrences, ranging from bizarre electrical phenomena to actual ghost sightings.
The hotel owner's dog, Bradley, even refused to enter the hotel when brought near the premises.
James Wilson, former security guard, would routinely walk the perimeter of the hotel making sure all the lights were out in certain areas. Even though he knew these areas of the hotel were empty, he was constantly turning off the same lights and locking the same doors over and over again, all night long. Windows and doors in the hotel are notorious for opening and slamming shut of their own accord. Electrical devices (lights, televisions, hair dryers, etc.) at the hotel often turned on and off on their own. Even after wiring all of the aforementioned doors and windows shut, they continue to slam all night long. The noise was so bad that the hotel's neighbors often complained.
