The Haunting
Hotel Ottumwa is a downtown Iowa hotel whose ghost stories focus on the basement, former ballroom areas, hallways, and service spaces. Reports include a lady in white, a man in a suit, shadows, voices, heavy breathing, and footsteps.
Hotel Ottumwa opened in 1917 and remains a recognizable downtown lodging landmark. The haunted stories come largely from staff and guest reports in working areas of the hotel.
