National Civil Rights Museum (Lorraine Motel) visitor accounts

The Lorraine Motel, site of Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination and today home to the National Civil Rights Museum, has been the subject of occasional visitor and staff reports of unexplained sensations and anecdotal accounts tied to the site's history; such accounts appear in local media and oral histories. Given the site's historical significance, these reports are often described as part of visitor experiences and are debated rather than scientifically established. The museum is an active educational institution and memorial.
