BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Statler Hotel was a popular spot for people traveling in and out of Buffalo .
Chelsea Gill is a local paranormal enthusiast and historian. She said, there are dozens of stories in the many rooms of the building. She explained, "in 1943, a woman came here from Batavia.
[She was] 19 years old. She was sad and she jumped out of the eighth floor window onto Delaware and she left a note." Gill said this was a "midway point for Al Capone.
He had his meetings and his beatings, that's what we call them, here, which is in the Turkish Bath." The Mezzanine level holds stories too, including the ones of JFK. "We have pictures in the library and nothing has changed in libraries.
The rendezvous room is where Elvis Presley stayed and played his music," Gill said. Gill has led many ghost tours through the years, including at the Statler Hotel. "We use REM pods.
That's a device and if you touch it it goes off. We play music, you play swing music up there and they go off on both sides of the table like they're they're dancing. Two tours ago, we were up on the Mezzanine which is Al Capone's room and we always try to talk to him.
The box said Al Capone," Gill said. CAPTURED. 👀👻Spooky Wednesday’s at the historic Statler Buffalo have been nothing short of intriguing! One of the attendees was recording the entire Spirit Box session in The Georgian Room and captured.

She said one of her clients was taking a picture and they caught a man in the mirror. "He's standing next to the doorway but nobody's with us, and you see his hand with an alcoholic beverage to his mouth so like that's really cool to see a guy in a suit attending a function drinking at the bar," Gill said.
Gill said they were the only two in the room at the time. Last night..
