Point Pleasant, West Virginia


Background History

The historic Lowe Hotel is located in the heart of the Point Pleasant Historic District at the corner of Fourth and Main
Streets.   Its grand structure was built in 1901 and originally named the Spencer Hotel in honor of J.S. Spencer.    Then
operated by two brothers, Homer and Griff Smith, the hotel was purchased by the Lowe family in 1929 after the stock
market crash and renamed the Lowe Hotel.

Many paranormal experiences are reported the hotel such as loud noises, icy blasts of air, and feelings of presence in
guests rooms, halls and the staircase.   While the human eye can't see anything to explain the sense of presence,
photographs of orbs have been captured during the experiences.    Starting from the top, the fourth floor features
the ballroom and an unfinished storage area.    One of the items kept upstairs is Mrs. Lowe’s cane rocking chair.
The current owner's daughter watched the chair begin to rock by itself, while other staff members say the chair
moves around the room by itself.
