ALTURAS, CA - MAY 17, 2023 - A couple walk down Main Street as the historic Niles Hotel looms overhead in Alturas, California, on May 17, 2023. The Niles Hotel in Alturas, California was constructed in 1908 as the Curtis Hotel. It was renamed the Niles Hotel in 1912, and in 1976 renovations began to restore the historic building to its former stature after decades of aging and neglect. The third floor of the hotel is believed to have a resident ghost, who is believed to be a former prostitute who was murdered in the hotel. It is alleged that she has been seen walking around the upper floors, and has even been known to hop into bed with male guests.(Genaro Molina / Los Angeles Times)
