Each year, the Eureka Springs Paranormal Weekend stirs a buzz among enthusiasts and skeptics alike. This year’s event was no exception, and we’re thrilled to announce the winner: Robert N., whose intriguing capture has left many of us pondering the mysteries that lurk within the historic walls of the Crescent Hotel.
Robert’s winning shot came from an unlikely source—a TV screen in room 218, also known as Michael’s room, a hotspot for paranormal activity within the hotel. While investigating with a small group and one of our knowledgeable guides, Robert snapped a series of photos, not expecting what he would find upon review.
Among the images was a distinct face in the TV screen, a face that didn’t match anyone present in the room. The clarity and detail of the face left the group in awe, especially considering the room’s storied past. Intrigued by the discovery, Robert attempted to recreate the photo under similar conditions, aiming to catch a reflection or any logical explanation. Despite his efforts, the mysterious image remained just that—a mystery.
So, what do you think about Robert’s find? Was it a trick of the light, a digital anomaly, or perhaps something more? This year’s photo contest not only brings Robert a well-deserved return trip to Eureka Springs in 2025 but also leaves us with an intriguing puzzle.
We invite you to join us next year to explore, capture, and maybe even unravel some of Eureka Springs’ enduring enigmas. Who knows? The next captivating shot could be yours.
