Haunted Melrose Hotel

The Ghost Adventures team investigated this old hotel located in Grand Junction, Colorado recently. This episode is due to air tomorrow, Saturday, March 16^th.

The Ponsford family built the Melrose with their own hands in 1908. It stayed in this family until 1994. After this is when strange things began to happen.

The ghosts in this hotel seem to target men.

The building has plenty of history that leaves little doubt it is haunted. A murder occurred in Room 15, and there is evidence the previous owners practiced satanic rituals in the building.

and his wife whom he murdered.

The previous owner brutally murdered his wife in the hotel. It appears one of the female ghosts that is seen is this unfortunate woman.

The present owner who has renovated both the interior and exterior of the hotel found jars of blood and bones in the basement, which leads her to believe vicious energy has been conjured.

The starkest activity occurs in the basement, an entity has physically attacked people in this room. Another member of the staff was possessed while in this area.

Present hotel staff feels members of the Ponsford family also haunt the hotel. These entities seem to be more benign.

The current manager of the Melrose lives in the hotel. He states he saw the ghost of a woman that resembles a Ponsford family member. He claims the activity has picked up since the fall of 2018.

He has also witnessed doors opening and closing on their own, and he went to the hospital recently when he woke up covered in bruises.

By far although what frightened him the most was when he saw a figure in his mirror that wasn’t in the room with him.
