Haunting
In the marble hotel lobby, there is a large crack that legend says is from a former employee falling seven stories to his death. This is rumored to the origins of the "Man in Grey", a ghostly figure that is seen wearing a grey suit and a fedora. This apparition is totally silent and merely smiles at anyone he sees. He is, in fact, usually thought to be a living person unless the witness is aware of the legend.

Famous quotes containing the word haunting:
“There is something haunting in the light of the moon; it has all the dispassionateness of a disembodied soul, and something of its inconceivable mystery.”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
“But those rare souls whose spirit gets magically into the hearts of men, leave behind them something more real and warmly personal than bodily presence, an ineffable and eternal thing. It is everlasting life touching us as something more than a vague, recondite concept. The sound of a great name dies like an echo; the splendor of fame fades into nothing; but the grace of a fine spirit pervades the places through which it has passed, like the haunting loveliness of mignonette.”
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
“Puritanism—The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
