Episode notes

About this episode

Before it became Le Meridien Tampa, this downtown landmark served as a federal courthouse. Courtrooms, holding areas and government offices once shaped daily life inside a building designed for judgment and authority.

Part one introduces that history and the supernatural reports now associated with the hotel. Guests and staff have described unexplained voices, cold spots and the sense that the old courthouse never fully closed. The Short establishes the setting for the Charlie Wall story continued in part two, separating the documented reuse of the building from the paranormal experiences that have become part of its reputation.
