La Fonda Hotel

Santa Fe, NM

According to several sources, the hotel is haunted by several different apparitions. One is believed to be Judge Slough who is apparently prone to swooping through the hallways late in the evening. Also, there is also several reports of a man who walks through the dining room and jumps through the floor where the "old well" was located. There are several other reported ghosts, including a ghost bride that was murdered in the 1930's.
