The next piece in The Supernatural Writings of Stuart Palmer is also supposed to be a non-fiction article. In actuality, it's a fanciful embellishment of a real set of events that occurred at an elegant New York residence hotel in 1903.
The Specter in the New Hotel, tells the ABSOLUTELY TRUE! story of a sinister ghost cat that haunted a New York hotel, one which Palmer coyly refuses to identify.
The names used are the real names of the persons involved, but the name of the hotel has, of course, been withheld.
Cat lovers and some dastardly ailurophobes (feline-phobes) abound! Why the people involved don't get the same privacy considerations as the hotel, I don't know. Doesn't seem cool, does it?
Palmer's flight of imagination is based on the adventures of an actual cat, at the Ansonia Hotel in Manhattan, which still exists. The principal figures mentioned in "The Specter of the New Hotel" are real people, who were really involved in this incident. The tale as written is complete balderdash, but it is a fun read.
I left a link to an article about the real incidents surrounding Thomas, the feline "ghost cat," at the end of my transcription of Palmer's story. It's a far more mundane tale, but sadder, too. The Ansonia sounds like it was an interesting place back in its early days.
