I was looking through some of the things on the main PSA website, and found where it listed haunted places in Arkansas. Well, when I came across the Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, I remembered a dream I had as a small child:
I was standing in the lobby of what I believed to be a hotel or hospital, when a red-haired man with a beard came inside followed by some St. Bernards. He was carrying a shovel and was covered in mud. As soon as he looked at me, I turned and ran from him, and he and the dogs chased me down a long hallway. I remember that I was running down the hall, but it seemed as though I were running through walls. Literally passing through them. I finally came to a door that had a very pretty plaque on it with the numbers "218" in fancy letters. I opened the door and hid behind something (a bed?), but was near a window. I don't remember what happened next, but I was either pushed or I fell from the window. On my left was one wall of the building with what looked like a clock face on it, and there was another wall facing me, but I fell out over a courtyard. I woke up before I hit the ground.
I distinctly remember the dream being in Eureka Springs, though, until a few years ago, I'd never been there, and still have never been to the hotel. When I had the dream, I was probably no older than 4 or 5, and the only things I ever really watched at that age were Maya the Bee and Fraggle Rock, so there's little chance of cryptomnesia (sp). I also asked my mom if she remembered me telling her about the dream, and she said she did, and that was all I could talk about that morning.
I haven't thought about it in years, mostly because I think I blocked it out. If anyone has an idea about this, please tell me. All I've managed to do by thinking about it is confuse myself even more. I don't know what to think.
