The story

The Bullock Hotel was built in the mid-1890s in Deadwood, South Dakota, by Seth Bullock, the town's famous first sheriff, businessman and friend of Theodore Roosevelt, and a figure of the Wild West later dramatised on screen, on the site of a hardware store he had run that burned down. Now operating as a hotel and casino in the historic, gold-rush-era town, it is widely reported to be haunted by Bullock himself, who died in 1919, with guests and staff describing a tall figure in period dress, the strong sense of being watched, items moving, their names being called, cold spots, and lights, the elevator and electronics behaving oddly. The hotel embraces the legend of its founder and even displays accounts of sightings. These accounts should be presented as guest reports and folklore rather than proven phenomena. Current room and booking details should be confirmed from the official site before publishing.
