The first tragic, unexplained event took place on May 10, 1953 on opening night of the Grand Hotel.
Exactly 32 people attended the opening, including guests and hotel staff. By the next morning- they were all missing. Police conducted a thorough investigation, but found no evidence or possible clues leading to a viable explanation. This event struck Williamsport to the core and left the entire town devastated and confused.A commission was created and the hotel was immediately shut down and boarded up. It took a while, but people eventuallybegan to forget the inexplicable event and move on with their lives.
On January 15, 1993, wealthy real estate developer, Timothy Miller reopened the hotel, with the goal of attracting tourists as a haunted house. The opening was a big success. People familiar with the legend came to stay at the hotel in hopes of having some type of supernatural experience.
Among the curious people, were local college students, Rob Laden, Troy Belger and Jarod Carr. They set out to “Hotel 32” in hopes to see or experience something out of the ordinary.
Apparently, their wish came true. Jarod Carr disappeared inside the hotel without a trace- never to be seen or heard from again. The infamous legend moves forward in history and the local townspeople renamed the mystical site, “Hotel 33.”
When the Williamsport Police Department got word of the missing boy, they put their top investigator on the case, Detective Richard Kaminsky. He conducted a thorough investigation of the site and interrogated Belger and Laden regarding their missing friend. During the interrogation of one of the boys, Kaminsky died.
The police report sited that Kaminsky had an aneurism, but interviews with police staff and witnesses argue otherwise, stating that the cause of death was unexplained and unnatural.
The hotel burned down, shortly after- no cause was found.
The mystery remains and legend lives on.
Is it possible that 32 people could disappear all at once without a trace? Then years later- another missing person? What happened to them? Where are their bodies? Many experts have searched tirelessly for the answers to these questions, but have come up empty-handed. Scientifically, there must be an explanation. Yet there are a lot of mysterious events that have happened in the world where science and reason have failed miserably to justify. In the case of“Hotel 33,” people need to chalk it up to another failed scientific experiment. Some things in life just cannot be explained.
