On June 24th and 25th 2007 NPI conducted a thorough investigation of the beautiful US Hotel B&B in Nevada City, California at the request of the proprietor Katie Bennett. The Hotel was built in 1853 and is a California State Historical Landmark. This was a little different than other investigations in the past as we soon discovered. Katie did not ask us to help her rid the spirits that reside at her beautiful hotel. In fact Katie loves her spirits at the B&B and wanted us to come in to document that in fact they are there and active. We enjoyed a little bit of fame as we found ourselves in the local paper, The Union and TV Fox40 out of Sacramento, California came out to do an interview with NPI and Katie Bennett.
The US Hotel has quite an amazing history in that it has been everything from a brothel in the California gold rush era that lasted well into the 1920's and 30's. It was a favorite hang out for many a millionaire and business tycoons of the times and is even said to have been home to a very young President Hoover. It was abandoned for many years and in the 1970's was re-opened as a methadone rehab center for young American service personal coming back from the war in Viet Nam who had found themselves hooked on drugs. After changing hands many times in the last 30 years the US Hotel has come back full circle to the beautiful hotel it once was.
But a long with the amazing history came a lot of death and heart break. Murders, shootings, suicide have all played a part in making what the US Hotel B&B is today, very active in ghosts and spirits. Check out some amazing EVP's that the NPI team captured during the investigation and also take a look at the photo gallery, let us know if you see anything usually.
