The Legend of Kate Morgan
The Search for the Ghost of the Hotel del Coronado
by Alan M. May
"(San Diego) Night before last an attractive, prepossessing and highly
educated woman came down from her room at the Hotel del Coronado and between
9 and 10 o'clock st5epped out upon the veranda facing the ocean. The sea was
lashed into a fury by the tempest that was sweeping over the whole coast.
She was quietly and elegantly dressed in black, and wore only a shawl over
her head. Nothing more was seen of her until at 8:30 yesterday morning, when
the assistant electrician of the hotel, passing by the shell walk at the end
of the western terrace, saw her lying on the steps leading to the beach. She
was dead . . ." San Diego Union, November 30, 1892
It is an ending for Kate Morgan; and the beginning of an enduring ghost
story that is laid out in this historical look. Illustrated with B&W photos,
maps and diagrams.
