This photo, apparently showing a shadowy figure in an elevator at the Eldridge Hotel, 701 Mass., is among the evidence that, according to some believers, proves a ghost lives in the building.

If you’ve felt an unexplained chill, sensed an unseen visitor or taken an elevator up to an unexpected floor at the Eldridge Hotel, Patti McCormick wants to hear your story.

You just might get to share it with millions of others on a television network’s most popular show, says McCormick, director for a group of properties that includes the Eldridge.

“They’re looking for legitimate people — people who may have been actual guests — to report their ghost stories,” said Beth Cooper, who runs Topeka-based Paranormal Adventures USA. “They’re not doing paranormal investigations or hearsay, just authentic people who’ve had an experience.”

And they’re searching for folks who can back it up.

The show, “My Ghost Story,” is shown on A&E’s Biography Channel and features people recounting tales and providing what is described as “strong visual evidence” of their personal experiences: photos, videos or other materials lending credence to their claims. People tell their own stories in their own words, while viewers catch glimpses of the personal evidence and other footage from locations where the experiences are said to have taken place.

At the Eldridge, 701 Mass. in downtown Lawrence, that most likely would be Room 506. That’s where the hotel’s original cornerstone remains and is known as a place where friendly spirits — perhaps even Col. Shalor Eldridge himself? — continue to linger, long after Quantrill’s Raid and other noteworthy events have faded away.

Unsuspecting guests report pressing the elevator button for “3” or “4,” only to end up on the fifth floor. Employees say they’ve been “visited.” Ardent fans of the paranormal request the room, sometimes leaving with their own first-hand experiences.

It’s enough that McCormick doesn’t blink when she describes the hotel as haunted.

“They hear things. They see things,” she said. “I don’t believe it, but we’ve had so many people give us accounts and stories of their stays — from all kinds of people. You would think that something has to be going on.”

But those tales may as well be ghosts themselves: While the Eldridge maintains a written list of what apparently happened and when, employees never attach names with the stories.

So now it’s a matter of finding former guests or employees who might be willing to share — their stories, their feelings and, perhaps most importantly, their images — with a much larger audience.

Just e-mail McCormick, who is working with a “My Ghost Story” producer on a potential show for this spring.

“They’re calling me to find good people, real people,” said McCormick, who is careful to point out that nobody should be scared away from staying at the Eldridge. “We’ve always had friendly ghosts. Nobody’s ever had a bad experience. We’ve never had a bad experience with any of the ghosts.”
