I disagree with the proposal to delete. There have been several deaths at this hotel and the building has been condemned due to structural issues. Once I have finished the appropriate research and sourcing of information I will update the article. It is the tallest building between Houston and Dallas. It is very well known to all Texas A&M students. Anotheruserhere (talk) 01:17, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hauntings at the Plaza Hotel and Suites, College Station

[edit]
                       There has been rumors  about the young boy who passad away in July of 2007.  The boy was 12 years of age and he drowned in the hotel pool.  The police at one point did an investigation on the death.  An analysis of the security tapes was done for the time period at which the young boy was in the pool, the tapes had been "modified" for a 2 hour period in which that video footage was missing.  Witnesses did not notice anything out of the ordinary until they noticed the young boy floating face down in the pool.  The efforts to save the boy were unsuccessful and by the time the paramedics arrived on scene the boy was already dead and later pronounced dead at St. Joseph's Hospital. The final verdict on the investigation was left undisclosed from lack of evidence and information.
                       Throughout the remaining years of The Plaza things started to go downhill gradually, which lead to the closing of the hotel.  The Brazos County health inspectors shut down the hotel's kitchen in 2008.  In July of 2008 there started to be rumors of sightings of a young boy roaming the halls and rooms of The Plaza.  Sigrid H., a frequent guest of The Plaza for many years, reported a sighting of a child walking the hallway late at night that looked to be soaking wet and blue as to be short of oxygen, however, leaving no water trail.  "The boy never looked at me nor got close enough for me to talk to, it spooked me enough to never return to this hotel [The Plaza] again," said Sigrid.  There were up to eleven other reports of similar incidents who did not want to be named nor quoted in the following years that the hotel was open. In the remaining years many other problems with the hotel and management made it hard for The Plaza to be well kept.  The owner filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas on August 2, 2010.
                       At a town meeting this issue was discussed, however there was one disorderly woman who would not let the issue move on.  This woman claimed that since the boys death was never resolved that he would forever haunt the remnants of The Plaza and it should be torn down immediately.  The woman then left the meeting outraged and nobody was able to identify her.  The Plaza Hotel and Suites still stands today abandoned and locked up since the closing on September 21, 2010.

A Note

[edit]

Article mentions hauntings by "Civil War General Jack T. Anderson", but as near as Google can turn up, there is no such general. Hauntings are always fascinating, but they go best with citations. 74.192.18.153 (talk) 00:40, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Have to agree with the above, the Civil War is a pretty well documented conflict, and if a simple google search can't turn up any record of the existence of a general then it is likely he never existed. --209.156.59.33 (talk) 16:06, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
