Lord Baltimore Hotel owned by Harry Busick made its debut in 1928. It was an extraordinary ceremony that was broadcasted live from various radio stations and many guests in attendance to be amazed by the hotel’s brilliant decor and cutting-edge amenities. Unfortunately, Busick died shortly after and never got to know how immensely popular Lord Baltimore Hotel became.
The hotel had hosted many notable individuals including Babe Ruth and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The building is 22 stories high and features a tower with a sky parlor copper roof.
The Busick brothers sold the hotel during the 1960’s when business started to decline. Federated Hotels Inc. acquired the location and tried to do a massive renovation, but the plan was impractical, ultimately closing the Hotel’s doors. Several attempts and ownerships to restore the business were made but failed. It was not until 2013 when the Hotel’s true rebirth occurred by the Rubell family. The Rubell family relaunched the facility as an independent operation, investing millions for its upkeep and to ensure future generations would appreciate its brilliant history.
The Lord Baltimore Hotel is one of the top 10 haunted place in Baltimore, MD and in the entire United States. The hotel has a long, tragic history of deaths. The hotel has 20 documented suicide cases of people jumping from the rooftop after the stock market crashed during the Great Depression.
The most heartbreaking story is the ghost of a 7-year little girl named, Molly. Molly and her parents stayed on the 19th floor of the hotel right after the market crashed and like the others, their depression got the best of them and they too jumped from the rooftop to the ground. Some reports say they took their daughter, Molly with them but most claims state it was a murder-suicide. Many guests have claimed to see the little girl wearing a cream-colored dress, black shoes playing with a red ball around the hotel but particularly on the 19th floor. She loves to chase the hotel staff members as well as guests. Cries of a young girl heard throughout the hotel, is this Molly lost, looking for her parents?
The elevators at the hotel will randomly take rides to the 19th floor without being called, doors open but no one is there or at least to be seen. Guests say they have been touched by cold hands while riding the elevators.
A couple has been spotted dancing in the ballroom, could this be Molly’s parents? Reports about a woman appearing at the foot of the bed while you’re sleeping. Also, the front desk receives calls from guests complaining that their TV turns on/off on its own. There are even some mischievous ghosts that hide the TV remote control from guests.
