King George Hotel
The King George Hotel is a three-story brick hotel that is located in Melville, Saskatchewan. The hotel was originally built in 1911, and today it features a bar, restaurant, and 10 rooms available for accommodations on the second floor. The third floor was available for accommodations as well, but it is not in use unless it is in the winter, when there are more visitors. The third floor is home to a famous phantom maid.
Vaughn Smith was the name of a musician who toured bars around the country in the 1980s and 1990s. In the fall of 1985, Vaughn was given a room to stay at on the third floor. When he went into the room, he heard these strange noises coming from other parts of the suite. He then saw a housekeeper walk in the hallway towards the entrance of his room. Upon looking for her, he could not find her. When he went out, he came back and his door was unlocked, which was unusual because he had locked it before he left. After returning from lunch the following day, Vaughn noticed that his bed was made with fresh towels laid out on top. When he thanked the front desk for what they did, the management didn’t know what he was talking about because no one does that except on Sunday’s once a week. The ghost of the maid was trying to make Vaughn feel more comfortable in his stay, and was not an evil presence at all.

I had an experiance at this hotel. I knew nothing about the area as I am not from there. I needed a cheap place to stay and so checked myself in. I was up late doing paperwork in my room and head foot steps a few times up and down the halls. At one point in the night a somebody knocked on the door and asked me if I was ok, I had said I was fine. The next morining when I was checking out I mentioned to the lady at the counter that the other person staying there was very nice. She told me I was the only one checked in adn when I did not beleive her she showed me the guest bok. And they have no staff in the building. Needless to say I was glad I did not open the door
