Kansas City doesn't seem to have a lot of specific buildings that are haunted. At least not in a way that attracts much attention these days. However, the Hotel Savoy right here in town has a story attached that might give you nightmares. It might just be the most haunted place in Kansas City! Check-in and check it out... if you dare.
Originally known as the historic Savoy Hotel and Grill, this historic hotel briefly closed in 2014, reopening several years later as the 21c Museum Hotel Kansas City.
The restaurant still maintains its original name - The Savoy at 21c.
The hotel itself is beautiful, with care put into every detail.
It does look dated these days however, which helps when you have haunting stories like these about the building.
Hotel Savoy has an extensive history of the paranormal within it's walls.
Room 505 is the most notorious, with plenty to say about what goes on in that particular room. One man who stayed here reported that the water wouldn't stop turning on in his bathroom, no matter how many times he turned it off. Some time later, the manager walked past the apartment and heard jazz music playing from within the empty room.
A resident in the lobby also heard music and came to investigate the source of the music himself.
It wasn't coming from his clock radio, but a different radio sitting on his washing machine. The radio was always set to rock 'n' roll, and had somehow been changed to a different station and flipped on while he was away at work. It couldn't have been changed by anyone else, as he was carrying the only key to the apartment with him.
The creepiness didn't stop there, however. Months later, other events began happening.
One resident always kept the dividing door between the bedroom and living room firmly closed while he slept. At night, around 11:30 p.m., the door opened, but no one was around to push the heavy door. Years have passed since those incidents, and people who have recently investigated the apartment for further activity found nothing as creepy as before. Theories of the ghost haven't been able to locate who it might be, either, but they did find a sealed gun in the wall, and heard plenty of odd footsteps in the night.
