Hotel Metropolitan Ghost Hunt & Sleepover, Paducah, Kentucky

The Hotel Metropolitan, Paducah, Kentucky

A location where legendary musicians, civil rights icons, and countless souls have left their mark.

Built as a sanctuary during the darkest days of segregation, the Hotel Metropolitan opened its doors to African American travelers when most establishments shut them out. The halls once echoed with the footsteps of Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, and even Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. Now those same footsteps are heard when no one is there!

The Purple Room, where jazz legends once played their hearts out, now plays host to unexplained voices and phantom music. EVPs capture whispers from another time, while guests and investigators alike report shadowy figures darting through hallways and lingering at the top of staircases. It seems some of the hotel’s most famous guests never signed the checkout book – and now you’ll be checking in to spend the night with them!

From the narrow corridors to the historic guest rooms, paranormal activity runs rampant. Visitors have been touched by unseen hands, heard conversations in empty rooms, and witnessed doors opening and closing on their own. The spirits here aren’t shy – they want their stories to be heard! And you’ll have the unique opportunity to sleep in the very rooms where these encounters take place. Will you wake to find an unseen visitor watching over your bed?

Miss Betty Dobson, the hotel’s passionate curator, shares tales that will send chills down your spine – stories of triumph, perseverance, and unexplained encounters that continue to this day. Each room holds secrets, and every corner could reveal your next paranormal encounter!

For the first part of the evening, you’ll join our experienced team in small groups as we rotate through the hotel’s most active areas. Then, if you’re brave enough, explore on your own in the dead of night! After the investigation, retire to your historically haunted room – the same spaces where jazz greats and civil rights icons once rested their heads. Will you hear the distant sounds of jazz floating through the halls as you drift off to sleep? Or perhaps catch a glimpse of a legendary performer still taking center stage in your dreams?

We’ll provide all the ghost hunting equipment you need to investigate this incredible location, plus snacks and refreshments to keep your energy up throughout the night. This isn’t just a ghost hunt – it’s a chance to literally sleep with history, where the supernatural and the past collide in ways that will leave you speechless!
