Ghost Hunters Explore Haunted Greybull Inn, Wyoming

Ghost hunters love states like Wyoming, and they love finding a place like the haunted Greybull Inn in Greybull, Wyoming.

In the video below, a lady from a regional ghost hunters group visited the Greybull the explore a mysterious hidden room. an elevator or an underground tunnel to transport booze.

The old hotel has a restaurant in the cellar called The Speakeasy, but it used to be just that, a speakeasy.

In the video, she explores the hauntings that she thinks are real, one that she thinks is fake, and offers up what she claims are voices of the dead that they recorded.

In 1914, construction began on the Hurst Building with the First State Bank being the original occupant. It was the first and largest brick building built in Greybull. The oil boom was in full swing. Folks were ready to make money. But before they could get started, the Great Depression shut everyone and everything down, and the bank failed in April 1927.

Joe Carey purchased the building at that time and launched a number of enterprises. One was a Speakeasy in the basement that was a nest of Rum Running - moving illegal liquor from Canada during the Prohibition Period until 1933.

If you visit today, they will tell you that the tunnels have all been closed off, but you can see remnants in the concrete where they used to be. Local stories abound about the tunnels connecting the bars and hotels underground to move the illicit liquor once it was brought in.

The hotel opened in 1926, and it is rumored that the back corner housed the “Ladies of the Evening”. Joe and Clair Carey owned the building and pretty much the whole block for years. Joe died in the 1980s, and Clair lived in the hotel until she sold it in 1994.

As in many older buildings, there have been sightings of spirits or ghosts in the hotel - but they are all friendly spirits.

Myles Foley and Lori Davis bought the hotel building in 2008. It's open. You can stay there, and you can eat at The Speakeasy.
