In the back of the library is an old dead files where things are put when they should not be talked about for one reason or another. Not many people can go into the dead file room but a few can and do get permission to go inside to browse thru old article such as The TidBits column that used to run in the paper.. It has not been in the paper since the writer disappeared for unknown reasons.<br/><br/>In one file are a  few clippings about an old hotel that stands empty to this day. The city wants to condemn the hotel but just can't get enough nerve to do so. A few people want the hotel to be put up as a historical marker because of it's old fashion architecture. Some want it burned down to the ground and a parking lot put there. None will say why they can't do what they set out to do. Every year, the building stands there vacant next to the cemetery. It never seems to age or crumble for some unknown reason. But perhaps some one can figure out what is behind the true story of the building.....<br/><br/><br/>October 17, 1971.<br/><br/>Hotel Withers has yet another murder<br/><br/>Another murder has happen last night at Hotel Withers, making it the fifth murder there over the last eight weeks. The first several murders were suspected to be done by a jealous boyfriend of Julia Jones. Micheal Thompson was taken into custody after the third murder. Yet somehow, a fourth murder has happened last week and a fifth last night. The Police Chef Inspector, Ralph Mitchel,  says that everything is being done that can be done at the moment.<br/><br/>The first three murders were males while these last two were females. Our most trusted reported is hot on the trail. He is out hunting for clues as I type this. He vows that he will solve the murders or else. Jeremy Lucas is an amateur detective and has solved a few break ins for the police department.<br/>Go get that murderer, Jeremy!<br/><br/><br/>October 27, 1971<br/><br/>Number 7 at Hotel Withers<br/><br/>This morning another murder at the Hotel Withers has happened. The manager of the Hotel Jack Withers, is closing the hotel until this murder streak has been solved. He is being sent to recuperate at a rest home outside of LA. Which rest home is not known at this time. Jeremy Lucas is still pursuing the trial and while not telling what clues that he may have found, he says that the murders will stop soon. The Police Chef Inspector, Ralph Mitchel, is distressed over the unsolved and totally unrelated murders.<br/><br/>â€œThere just is no rhyme or reason why these murders have happened or how they are related to each other. We will leave  Micheal Thompson go in the morning since we can not prove his innocence or guilt. He was in the jail for the last four murders.â€ says the  Police Chef Inspector, Ralph Mitchel.<br/><br/>Jeremy, we are counting on you to help the police out on this serial murders case!<br/><br/>October 2, 1978<br/><br/>Not Hotel Withers again!<br/><br/>As many can recall back six years ago, there was 7 unrelated murders that were not solved by  Police Chef Inspector, Ralph Mitchel and his staff. Here in the last week there has been two more unrelated murders, one male and one female. Are these murders some how related to those in 1971? Only time will tell for the walls won't say a thing!<br/>Who will be next in that hotel? Who even wants to stay at that hotel now?<br/><br/><br/>October 12, 1978<br/><br/>Ghostly noises heard at night at Hotel Withers<br/>New developments in the murders in the hotel say that perhaps ghosts have played a role in these new murders. Can ghosts murder people? I somehow don't believe that ghosts can actually murder by poison or gun but they can scare a person to death! How does one speak to a ghost? We asked a famous ghost talker, Seriana McMillian that question. She has agreed to come and stay at the Hotel Withers to see what she can find out. More next time more on can  ghosts murder?<br/><br/>October 22, 1978<br/>Will these murders ever stop?<br/>During these last 10 days, 5 murders were committed. 3 females and 2 males. Our famous ghost talker, Seriana McMillian has literally nothing to say. The doctors say that she is incoherent at the moment and need to be put in a rest home so that she can recover...if that is possible. After all the original owner of Hotel Withers is still in a rest home some where out there and his son has taken over the business end of the Hotel. What will happen next, I wonder?<br/><br/><br/>October 29, 1985<br/><br/>After 7 years of silence, the murders have started up once again at Hotel Withers. 4 murders happened while people slept. Two wives woke up with dead husbands and two husbands woke up with dead wives. None of the living heard or saw anything unusual last night. They slept thru the night and just woke up to find their spouse dead.   Police Chef Inspector, Ralph Mitchel  was asked what he thought about the murders and he responded 'No comment'. He was not able to solve the ones before so why should he be the one to solve them now? The only unsolved crimes under   Police Chef Inspector, Ralph Mitchel's belt are the ones that happened in Hotel Withers. Can our good police chef be in on these murders? Who can tell?<br/><br/><br/>October 31, 1985<br/><br/>Police Chef Inspector, Ralph Mitchel goes bonkers!<br/><br/>Police Chef Inspector, Ralph Mitchel is sent to a rest home to recover from an undisclaimed illness after 3 more murders at Hotel Withers. The original owner, Jack Withers, reknown ghost talker Seriana McMillian and now our  Police Chef Inspector, Ralph Mitchel, all have been retired to the rest home some where out there. Now Jeremy Lucas has quit the paper staff. Good bye Jeremy. I hope that you can evade the rest home!<br/><br/>What a way to start off Halloween with our own ghost murders for who else can get into locked rooms so quietly to kill off people who are sleeping with another person in the same the bed? Perhaps it is time to call in a ghost buster. Or maybe a exorcist? Or maybe even a medium to talk to the dead so we can figure out how they died. The noises carry on still......
