The main telephone: all the lights would light up all of a sudden for a few seconds then shut off. This happened several times but there was nothing wrong with the phone itself. They used to hear whistling periodically, toward the end of their shift. They would go see who it was and there was never anybody around. The manager''s apartment was off of the front desk area. At the time, the manager did not reside there, so it was empty. One night, the front desk phone rang. The ring was different so the clerk knew it was coming from a guest room. When they looked to see what room, It was coming from the manager''s apartment! No one was on the line. During the time the clerk worked there, someone did commit suicide, but report they experienced these things prior to that. It used to be a bar then a pizza place before that. It is true about the cemetery directly behind it. It is a catholic cemetery."
