I worked for the Grand Canyon Railway 3 times now. Every time I move into Williams for awhile they hire me. I lived there 10+ years altogether, off and on. I worked in the hotel and the restaurant and the bar. One time, the head chef, sous chef and myself were closing down the restaurant, we were the only 3 in the building, when we heard a lady call out like she was in pain or something from a stock room right up the stairs from where we were standing, which used to be part of the old hotel. We immediately thought it must be one of the female servers up there and they must be hurt. The sous chef and I run up the stairs and into the storage room and no one was in there. We basically ran down the stairs while telling the head chef that no one is up there. We got out of there real quick after that and I would avoid going in that room if I could for the rest of my time there.

Maybe just a day trip to the Canyon?
