Been watching American horror story "hotel Cortez" and it reminded me of my stay at the San Carlos. Very strange from the beginning. Lobby just screamed eerie vibes. When I asked the person checking me in if it was haunted he said "oh you seen it on tv?" My hairs instantly raised. Room was next to the elevator and stair case. I heard people walking up and down the stairs all night. Could see people walking up and down the halls all night under the door way yet I never saw another guest on my floor. I spent the night with a local girl I know in town. She woke me crying at 3am (no lies) sweating and covered in tears. She asked if I felt that I the room. I was shivering cold. I had to walk her to her car and spend the rest of the night alone. I didn't tell her what I found behind the mirror in my bathroom though.... while shaving g I saw the corner of a paper sticking out of the back of the mirror. I gently pulled it out and found this! I promise that this is no lie. The note said "The ghost demanded it. She just wanted the portrait. Then she flew out the window! She left her hat on the bed. Portrait #27 TCS 4/21/12" very real and very haunted. It was an experience but I would NEVER stay here again. That being said I have been back to the bar just can't sleep here. Happy haunting it's real
