The following is excerpted from the book "Ghosthunting North Carolina" by Kala Ambrose (2011, Clerisy Press):
"In 2004, Gary Spivey was visiting Star. He had spent time in the company of family and friends amd was heading back out of town when he passed the delapidated Star Hotel. As he drove by, he heard a voice tell him to buy the hotel. Gary, a world-renowned psychic who performs in Las Vegas and around the world, is used to hearing voiced from his spirit guides and angels prompting him to take action in certain situations.
....Gary made an offer and bought the hotel without ever setting foot on the premises.
Once he purchased the hotel, Gary and one of his business partners went to check out the property. They stayed in the hotel overnight. Gary describes it as feeling creepy inside, and both men had a restless night's sleep, each reporting from their rooms a feeling of someone watching them as they tried to sleep.
Gary began reconstruction on the hotel, and strange reports began to trickle in from construction workers on the site. Some would hear a baby crying in one of the rooms, another saw the ghost of a man who reportedly fell off the roof and died when the hotel was originally being constructed. At night, while Gary slept in the hotel, a lady began to appear to him in the room. She had long black hair and dressed conservatively from an older time. One night as she visited him, she said "I'm really happy with what you are doing with my hotel." She never identified herself to Gary, so he was unsure of her identitiy, even as she continued to visit.
One day, Gary discovered photos of the hotel from its earliest days. While looking through the photos, Gary recognized the woman who visited him in the evenings. It was Deborah Leach, the wife of Angus Leach. The Leaches were the original owners of the Star Hotel and ran the hotel during its heyday, when the railroad brought passengers through the area each day.
As construction progressed on the hotel, Deborah began to appear on a regular basis. Today, Deborah often makes her presence known to the staff and guests throughout the hotel. When she appears, she is busy working in the bedrooms, in the kitchen, and in the dining room. Everyone who reports seeing her ghost finds her to be welcoming, and she appears to be happy with the hotel being in operation again."
