According to Lewis, he encountered many things when he investigated the Hotel. First, there were many different types of smells in all of the hotel. He smelt coconut, cigars, soap, burnt rubber, and a floral purfume. Also, he heard many loud noises all at once. Specifically, he heard a bang, which sounded exactly like a shotgun that was being fired. Also, as they were going to the basement, they heard footsteps that sounded like they were being chased. On many occassions, he felt very cold, as if ghosts were all around him. Dusty Rainbolt of DFW, captured what appeared to be, two very distinct "ecto mist" apparitions in the 14th floor ball room. Another photographer/investigator, Weems Hutto, was taking still shots with a 35 mm camera at the same time and captured what appeared to be another ecto mist above the first photographer. Another psychic who accompanied the team reported "seeing" an old woman in a wheelchair in the southeast corner of the ballroom who kept saying, "I can't do it", "I can't do it". One of her co-workers, Donna who was the physic, felt hesitant and nauseous as she moved toward the west end of the fifth floor. She said someone was trying to make the team "sick" so they would leave. She refused to go any farther in that direction. Later, members of Lone Star Spirits who visited the area began to choke and cough at the same spot, unaware of Donna's earlier experience. So, as you can see, there have been many sightings and documented occurrences of ghotsts at The Baker Hotel. It would be very interesting to investigate it and find out for our own self!
