Hemlock Inn

Trigger warning: Themes of death, suicide, and murder.
Hemlock Inn was once considered one of the most high-end and luxurious hotels in the area. But after a history of record-number murders, unexplained deaths, and disappearances (and the rumored ghost sighting or two), it has become an icon of mystery and tragedy unique to the city of Cedargrove.
===Origin===
A string of murders took place from 1946-1962 at the Hemlock Inn, starting with the discovery of Marigold Fitzgerald's body in the hotel's main water tank. Several investigations were performed but no one was ever brought to justice. Every single case went cold. 
From 1970-1994, Hemlock Inn's doors were shuttered due to the bad publicity and ghost stories circulating the general public. However, after a film based on the hotel's dark history made headlines in 1995 (Haunting at Hemlock Inn) spurred interest, the hotel was renovated and reopened with modern technology in 1996. 
=== Present Day ===
Paranormal investigators regularly make stops at the Hemlock Inn, owing to it being a hotbed of paranormal activity. One floor, floor thirteen, has never been opened up to the public again. It is speculated that there is reason for that, as many hotel staff members report headaches, memory loss, and visions of violence if they have to stop there to retrieve something. It is only accessible by stairs as the elevator will not stop on that floor and, also, you must have a staff key card to reach it.
