For the majority, the ghosts and encounters are harmless. Many guests will request to stay in room 812 or 804 to see if they will experience anything.

Paranormal investigators from SyFy’s Ghost Hunters paid a visit to the historic downtown Rapid City Hotel Alex Johnson in November 2010. After many stories from employees, guests, and a few of his own experiences, Rich Dunkelberger decided to invite Ghost Hunters to evaluate the hotel. Rich Dunkelberger was the former chief executive officer of hotel management company ISIS Hospitality.

Despite not being able to gather hard evidence of aggressive paranormal activity, there was enough there for Ghost Hunters to say that the hotel could very well be haunted. Should people be afraid? Not at all. Whatever is here is harmless.

There are many stories about local haunts. Hotel Alex Johnson is another great place. Come on over and check out the stories that guests have shared over the years. Maybe you would like to stay in one of the haunted rooms. Who knows? Maybe you will experience something yourself…
