I stayed at the Del Coronado during the Summer of 2010. It was me, my two brothers, my sister, and my parents. We stayed for five nights. One of the main reasons we were so excited to stay there was because we heard that the hotel was haunted by a ghost name Kate Morgan. We wanted to see if we would ever encounter her in some way.

On the third night at about 2AM everyone was soundly asleep. Me and my brother were in the bed to the left of the room phone, and my parents to the right. Me and my mom were both on the side closest to the nightstand. All of the sudden the phones dial tone goes off (as if someone pressed the speakerphone button). This waked me and my mom, everyone else still asleep. We both figured either me or her accidentally pressed it in our sleep, so we turned it off and went back to sleep. 20 seconds later… It happens again. We were really scared now. Now me and both my parents were awake. My mom turned off the dial tone once again. We stayed awake this time to see if it would happen again. 10 seconds later it goes off again. My mom turned it off (she was shaking), and instantly it went off again. The next five times it happened, as soon as my mom would press the button it would instantly turn back on. All three of us were pretty freaked out. When it finally stopped after about 10 minutes we  decided it was done and to try to go back to sleep, but we left the light on (we were very scared). As I turned around and tried to go to sleep I couldn’t, I was to scared. To take my mind off of it I just looked at the picture of our hotel hanging on the wall closest to my brother. Here’s the really scary part… As I was looking at the picture I see a dark figure in the reflection of the glass. It looked like this…

Only it was more transparent, and was in our room. It vanished after about 5 minutes of me just staring at its every movement. I didn’t sleep the rest of the night…

There are some logical reasons of what happened. There could have been a problem with the phone, but it seemed that the button was being pressed in random intervals. And the picture frame figure could have just’ve been my imagination, but it looked so real. I’m seriously convinced we encountered Kate Morgan, especially because we talked about her constantly during the trip. I saw this video where a different family experienced something very similar to what happened to my family. Happy Halloween!
