What happens when we die and our physical bodies are consigned to the welcoming embrace of the earth? Do our spirits move on to a better world? Or might they, perhaps, become trapped within an alternate dimension? The Holbrooke Hotel, built in 1862, has played host to such notables as Mark Twain and presidents of the United States. However, it's the 1927 stay of 46-year-old Cornish miner, Jack Martin, that takes center stage in Phantoms of the Holbrooke. The film weaves together dramatizations of true accounts of the Holbrooke's many ghosts with Martin's tragic story. Phantoms of the Holbrooke not only shines light onto the hotel's history but breathes new life into its ghosts. Exploring why they may be there in the first place.
