This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!
In the historic mining town of Victor, the Black Monarch Hotel stands as a place where the past never fully loosened its grip. Once a raucous saloon, casino, and brothel, the building was infamous in the early 1900s as “the finest gentleman’s club this side of the Mississippi.” Its walls have witnessed wealth and violence, indulgence and desperation — and, according to many, something far harder to explain.
After a devastating fire in 1899, the structure was rebuilt and renamed, but whatever lingered from its earliest days never truly left. When Adam Zimmerli encountered the long-vacant building generations later, he saw more than decay. He saw an opportunity to restore its grandeur while honoring its strange and unsettled history.
Today, the Black Monarch’s Victorian gothic décor, themed rooms, and reputation for unnerving encounters have made it one of the most talked-about haunted hotels in the West. Guests report unexplained sounds, shadowy figures, and a sense of being watched — reminders that this is more than a place to spend the night. It’s a place shaped by its former inhabitants, some of whom may still consider it home.
