The St. James Hotel in Cimarron, New Mexico was built in 1880 and offered good food, attractive dancing girls and comfortable beds for guests such as Jesse James, Bac Masterson, Annie Oakley, Doc Holiday and Wyatt Earp. In 1985, Ed Sitzberger and his wife, Patricia, bought the St. James Hotel. One night, Patricia and a friend went around to see how many leaks there were in the hotel. Once they were done, they turned the chandelier off and left. As they were in the parking lot, Patricia turned around and saw that the chandelier was turned on again. They went inside and turned the chandelier off, but when they got back outside, the chandelier was on once again. Patricia then told the spirits I dont know who you are, but I dont want to play anymore and I want to go home and the next time they went outside, the chandelier was off. The Sitzbergers claim that the entire hotel is haunted. Guests in room 17 report that whenever the window is left open, there is a mysterious, fast-paced tapping noise that continues until they close the window. In the kitchen, the cook has witnessed several bizarre occurrences, for example, a glass levitating in the air off the side of a table. In May of 1988, Charlie Varela, a local high school student, was cleaning the bar at 5 am when he looked at the bar and saw a little kid sitting on the bar and spinning a glass on counter. As Charlie went to tell him he had to leave, the kid turned around, his face glowing blue, and jumped off the bar and disappeared. Surgeon and amateur ghost hunter Dr. Kenneth Wright came to investigate the spirits of the St. James Hotel. When he and Patricia went into one room, they saw a glowing ball in the upper corner of the room. Kenneth and Patricia were both frightened, and Patricia then said to the spirit that it can leave, but it got angrier. Ed Sitzberger contacted psychic Jackie Littlejohn to investigate the hotel. Jackie claims to communicate with the spirit world. Jackie sensed a gunshot wound, and the evidence of violence was very strong. She visioned a poker game that turned deadly, and one of the men was shot dead and now haunts the hotel, specifically room 13. She says his name was T.J. Wright, and he won the hotel at the poker game just before he died. Ed found that in 1881, a man named T.J. Wright had in fact checked into the hotel three times.
