Well, not literally.
I stayed with a friend at her place in the Upper West Side Saturday night, and then headed over to The Hudson Saturday night. All was great, until I tried to go to bed. I turned off the TV then it came back on in 10 seconds. Turned it off again, again it came back on. I tried to mute the TV and just shut the cabinet that it is in…. but even on mute, this possessed TV still had sound coming out. This went on for about a minute, until I called the front desk. They assured me that maintenance would be up to check it out… but, they never showed up. I ended up calling the front desk about 5 times, only to be told that someone was on their way up. (Nobody ever showed) I tried to just unplug the TV, but since it was built into the mini bar / dresser area, there was not much room to dig around for cords. By this point, it is after 12, I have to be up early for my presentations and I am pretty annoyed. I end up just yanking all of the cords I could get my hands on and finally the demon possessed TV shut off.
I am checking out the next morning and I tell the gentleman at the front desk about my TV issue from the night before. He asked what room I was in, I told him and here is his response… “Yeah, we have had some odd things happen in that room.”
My response – “Good thing I am checking out.”

From The Hudson's website:
The Hudson Hotel is hip — yet, some say, haunted.

ohhh Hotel looks lovely! How rude that no one came up to check in on you!
yikes! sounds like that movie with john cusak (1408)! AHH
Sounds to me like one too many trips to the mini bar
What are you doing sleeping with someone besides your husband?
Oh what fun! In a kind of scary way! I always see the tv specials on haunted hotels in New Orleans and I would be lying if I said the idea of booking one just for a night wasn't appealing to me. :)
I would have freaked! Good thing it was only one evening.
Do you remember the room No. was it 502??? I stayed there a few weeks ago and the hangers in the closet started moving and making noise...and then the water in the bathroom was on and off all night long...the first time I went there and turned it off but it went on again and I decided to try to sleep... scarrrrryyyyy!!
