The
historic Plaza Resort and Spa on A1A and Seabreeze Boulevard in Daytona
Beach has seen a lot of comings and goings, including spring-breakers
in the 1990s, but current guests have some employees spooked.
They believe the hotel is haunted.
The hotel is well over a century old, and the employees think former guests have either returned or never left.
Hotel
security chief Chris Lenkiewicz and his staff were watching security
monitors several weeks back when they saw something odd moving through a
downstairs bar.
"It
wasn't dust. It wasn't a flashlight. There was nobody on property
causing stuff to happen to mess with other employees," he said.
An apparition moved about, changing sizes. And when a guard went down to check, others say, the ghostly presence seemed to hide.
Though
he couldn't see it, the guard felt something, and later on security
video, the apparition almost took on the shape of a person and ran away.
Employees
said there have been strange sightings and sounds from all corners of
the hotel, hallways, bathrooms and even hotel rooms, like Room 1111,
where a guest fell to his death from a balcony several years back.
