Resting along the Mississippi River about a ninety minute drive from New Orleans is the historic district of downtown Baton Rouge— location of the former historic Heidelberg Hotel. Built in 1927 alongside the Mississippi River, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the hotel once served as a makeshift Capitol building during a dispute between then Louisiana Governor Huey P. Long and Lieutenant Governor Paul Cyr.
A newly elected senator, Long refused to relinquish his duties as governor, prompting Cyr to set up operations there in the hotel. The legendary former Louisiana governor and U.S. Senator known as “The Kingfish” was assassinated walking across the street in 1935 by the son of his political opponent. Despite its storied history, the Heidelberg Hotel lay dormant for 25 years until 2006, when a massive $70 million restoration rechristened it as the Hilton Baton Rouge Capitol Center as it is today.
Over the years, numerous staff have reported all manner of seemingly paranormal events. From partial-bodied apparitions of Huey Long himself on the fifth and tenth floors, to a tall dark floating figure peering in at guests by their bedsides. The Ghost Finders are here to investigate and find out who or what remains here.
