Beautiful Stranger: The Ghost Of Kate Morgan And The Hotel Del Coronado

Beautiful Stranger: The Ghost of Kate Morgan and the Hotel del Coronado. Kate Morgan's suicide at the Hotel del Coronado in November 1892 generated widespread publicity throughout the state. Because little was known about Kate's identity, the press began to refer to her as the "Beautiful Stranger". When it was later revealed that Kate had checked into the hotel under an assumed name, the public's interest only increased: Who was this "Beautiful Stranger"? Where had she come from? Why had she traveled to the Hotel del Coronado? And why had she killed herself?
