Haunted elevator shafts – my bet is that the Adolphus hotel in Dallas has ’em.
The Adolphus was open a mere 2 weeks when the elevators claimed their SECOND victim. Covered in our previous post, that man was an Italian waiter, killed in October of 1912. But, those hungry elevators began eating people before the building was even completed.

Accident on New Adolphus Building when Man, Badly Crushed, Lives but Short Time Afterward
“Caught by a descending elevator at the 12th floor of the Adolphus hotel building yesterday about noon, Charles McIntosh, age 45, a negro, was crushed between the cage and the side of the shaft and dragged to the ground below. The injured man was taken to his home at 3006 Cochran Street where he soon died.”
