Haunted Historic Houses

Lexington, Kentucky, has seen its share of historic events, and the Gratz Park Inn has been around for most of them. Built in 1916, the Inn has been at, various times, a home and a doctor's office. According to general manager Zedta Wellman, guests find Gratz Park's old-fashioned style refreshing and enjoy their stay. "The only complaint many guests have," Wellman says, "is the little girl running through the halls—and she's a ghost!" Lizzie, as the staff fondly calls the apparition, likes to open and close doors and tug on guests' sleeves. The Inn is open to overnight guests.
