The story
French Lick Springs Hotel is a grand resort in French Lick, Indiana, that grew around the area's sulphur-rich mineral springs and reached its height as a fashionable spa destination in the early 20th century, when its waters, bottled and marketed as 'Pluto Water', and its casinos drew wealthy guests from across the country, before a long decline and a major restoration in the 2000s. Its haunted reputation centres on Thomas Taggart, a former owner, Indianapolis mayor and national political figure associated with the hotel's golden age, who is said to be sensed in the corridors and lobby, along with guest and staff reports of figures, the elevators moving on their own, footsteps and unexplained sounds. The resort embraces its historic character and shares its stories with visitors. These accounts should be presented as guest reports and folklore rather than proven phenomena.
