Haunted Room 3327 at Hotel Del Coronado

The legend of the mysterious woman dates back to November 24, 1892, when she arrived at San Diego and checked in to room 3327 at Hotel Del Coronado under the name Lottie A. Barnard. Kate, then pregnant with a child, had agreed to meet with her lover at the hotel before heading out to the streets of San Diego to swindle unsuspecting men. However, days passed and her lover never showed up. Desperation soon turned into despair, and Kate did the unthinkable. She was found dead five days later (after checking into the hotel) at an outdoor stairway leading to Coronado Beach, with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
