History

In the spirit of Halloween, we’re bringing back our tour of The Read House Hotel’s haunted Room 311.

Keep reading to learn more about the history, the ghost that’s said to haunt the room, and some of the paranormal experiences that have taken place.

The ghost

The guest who never checked out is said to be Annalisa Netherly. According to local lore, Netherly’s jealous lover murdered her in Room 311’s bathroom in 1927. It is said that her ghost has a particular dislike towards men, especially those who smoke.

Along with Room 311 being the alleged location of Netherly’s murder, the room also hosted Al Capone during his federal trial. The room had security bars placed on the windows — which are still there — to ensure Capone could not escape.

Paranormal experiences

The hotel only allows guests to stay in Room 311 during weekends in October, but many guests check out before the night’s end or leave believing in ghosts.
