Recently took a trip out to Galena, Illinois, and Dubuque, Iowa. I stayed at the opulent and historical Julien Hotel, located in Dubuque. Built in 1839, it began as a 40 room guest house, and was known as the Waples House. In 1854, it became Hotel Julien, in honor of the founder of Dubuque. Lots of hauntings present here, including the ghost of Al Capone, who is frequently seen strolling on the 2nd floor, near the Capone Suite, named after him, as he stayed here to escape the heat in Chicago, and was also rumored to have been a part-owner. Singing voices of females can be heard by many guests throughout the night. A lady in black, appears to be lingering around the bar area.
I stayed on the 5th floor. The only activity I experienced was a continual flickering light, and a bathroom door opening several times. Was my room haunted? I like to think so.
