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!

Reviews
Did the Battleship North Carolina on April 3rd. I've already booked again for August. The hosts (Both physical and spiritual) were amazing. Recorded several EVP's throughout the night. Some very strong responses with dousing rods. Always skeptical about them, but there were strong responses, especially when we started talking to them like the military members they were. At one point I asked if they wished they had women on Battleships, he replied with a strong "Yes" and my Ghost Box replied with the word "Seductive". He really liked one of the young ladies with us. Turns out she was 18 and he was 20 when he died. Can't wait to do this again!
Just did a tour with this group on the Battleship North Carolina. Absolutely wonderful experience!! My husband and I will definitely be booking again. The leaders are super nice, respectful, and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend!!
Just finished our VIP overnight at Hotel Metropolitan in Paducah! Ms. Venita and Julie were the absolute best! They both made sure we knew what we were doing with equipment, and gave us a fantastic guided tour and explained the history so well. Venita especially made an impression on my group. She is super friendly and definitely knows what she's doing. Can't wait to see her again! I wouldn't want anyone else!
My dad, my sister-in-law, and I stayed at The Metropolitan for a paranormal investigation, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and full of history — but what made our stay exceptional was the incredible staff, Julie and Venita. These two amazing women went above and beyond the entire time we were there. They walked us through all the investigation equipment, helped guide us throughout the night, and made us feel completely comfortable and right at home. Their hospitality was top-notch — from the snacks and drinks they provided to the delicious hot chocolate they made for us during our late-night exploring. Their kindness, patience, and passion for what they do turned our stay into something truly special. If you’re looking for a place filled with charm, comfort, and staff who genuinely care, The Metropolitan Hotel is the perfect choice. Our overnight stay exceeded every expectation. Highly recommend! I wouldn't want anyone else to tour with!! 👻✨🍫
My son and I went to belles grove plantation and it was the best time! We enjoyed everything! Miss V was great! We got a few pictures of something in the windows and I actually started crying which I NEVER would let my son see me cry! It was kinda spooky but awesome at the same time! The team is great and I highly recommend going on one of their tours! Thank u all for a great experience
I had an amazing experience with Haunted Rooms America at the Belle Grove Plantation in King George, VA. The staff was very informative and helpful explaining the various pieces of equipment.
We had such a great experience at the Metropolitan Hotel in Paducah Kentucky. 10/10 would recommend.
