They proceed down to the main lobby, where they dive into or sit by the main fountain, and swim around for the rest of the day. At 5 pm, they retire to their elevator, and return to their Royal Penthouse Duck Palace. There is a Duckmaster, to attend to their needs and comfort.

HISTORY OF MANIFESTATIONS

Since it opened, The Peabody Hotel Orlando has been seen by emotionally troubled people as the perfect place to end an unhappy, hopeless life, and has had more than its share of suicides. It seems to be a place to go out in style.

Tall buildings of hotels, schools, and public buildings seem to attract the mentally unbalanced, and the emotionally distraught, who are looking for a place to end their lives, hoping to find peace on the other side, though they seldom do so.

MANIFESTATIONS

General Activity

Unsettled Spirits

Entities of people who killed themselves at the Peabody Hotel Orlando.

Wandering apparitions of bewildered ghosts have been seen by guests and staff, in the hallways and lobby of the hotel.

STILL HAUNTED?

Orlando Perhaps so. While there is a serious lack of public reports of hard evidence caught, and the personal experiences in print are very general with no specifics, it is true that people who die by suicide have the tendency to be restless, lonely and confused, and wander about, sometimes seeking human contact, which what is suggested by the general reports published online.

The Peabody Hotel Orlando hasn’t allowed any investigations done there published, as they feel it would do a disservice to the hotel, that they have worked so hard to keep at a high level of quality.
