There is a strange, but gentle spirit residing within the granite walls of Asheville's historic Grove Park Inn. Known simply as the “Pink Lady,” she has been seen, felt and experienced by hotel employees and guests for nearly a century. The Pink Lady has been generally described as a dense pinkish smoke, although some report the mist materializing into the shape of a young woman donned in a pink ballgown. The Pink Lady is believed to have met her demise on the Palm Court floor after falling two stories from the fifth floor to the third floor in the 1920s. Nevertheless, she has been seen and experienced in a number of places throughout the resort. She is known to move objects in the middle of the night, as well as awaken guests by tickling their feet. And while the Pink Lady is keen to reveal herself to everyone, she is said to particularly enjoy the company of children.
