Lorraine Motel Alleged Apparitions

The Lorraine Motel is the site where Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated on April 4, 1968; the building now houses the National Civil Rights Museum. Over the years, visitors and some private investigators have reported anecdotal sensations, sightings, or unexplained phenomena in rooms associated with the assassination and the motel's balcony. Media outlets and tour operators have documented these reports as visitor testimony, and the claims are presented as anecdotal and disputed rather than scientifically verified.
