The Seelbach Hilton
500 Fourth Avenue,
Louisville, KY (502) 585-3200
 The
Seelbach Hilton is a
lavish turn-of-the-century hotel filled with the grandeur of the
Kentucky Derby. It is designed in opulent Beaux-Arts Baroque style and
conceived by two Bavarian brothers, Otto and Louis Seelbach, back in
1869.
Many historically famous people have stayed atThe
Seelbach. Nine U.S. presidents and F. Scott Fitzgerald were once
guests. Even Al Capone and other gangsters from the 1920's frequented The
Seelbach.
However, there is one well-known guest at The
Seelbach that doesn't want
to leave - The Lady in
Blue. Below is the story
the hotel shares:
 Back
in 1936, a young bride eagerly awaited her new husband in The Seelbach's
ballroom for their wedding reception. On his way to the wedding, he was
tragically killed in an accident. Heartbroken, the young bride ran off
and threw herself down an elevator shaft. The wedding party found her
body, clad in a blue dress, 10 stories below.
Since the incident, some guests have reported seeing her in the middle
of the night … and recall the aroma of a mysterious perfume. Could it be
her sorrowful soul, or perhaps another ghost?

The Old
Talbott Bed & Breakfast
107 West Stephen Foster, Bardstown,
Kentucky (502) 348-3494
 The
Old Talbott Bed & Breakfast dates
all the way back to 1779 when it was once an old stagecoach stop. The
Old Talbott Tavern is
said to be the oldest western stagecoach stop in America as the westward
expansion brought explorers from the east into Kentucky. The
Old Talbott Tavern provided
food, drink and shelter to such famous people as Daniel Boone,
Washington Irving, Jesse James, General George Rogers Clark and even the
future president, Abraham Lincoln. Rumor has it that General Clark still
has an outstanding bill at the Tavern. We assume it won’t get paid!
But history shmistory, right? You wanna
hear about the ghosts. Rumors have it that the ghost
of Jesse James still pays
visits to his old stomping ground. You can even see the bullet holes in
paintings that Jesse James put there himself. Besides James’ ghost,
there have been sightings of a mysterious
woman who seems to haunt
the place as well.
Patti Starr, Certified Ghost Hunter, has
been featured on Food Network, “The Best of Fright Food” filmed at the
haunted The Old Talbott
Tavern!
 You
can both visit the Old Talbott Tavern or stay in one of its five rooms (right), each
named after someone famous or infamous who have visited in the past.
