Al Capone

Al Capone is the Congress Plaza's notorious association — the hotel was a documented Outfit meeting place, and lore puts his presence back in the building alongside the twelfth-floor boy and 'Peg Leg Johnny.' The mob connection is real; the apparition is folklore's extrapolation. The lore keeps its witness.

Capone is reportedly remembered in the suite he kept. The file calls it Al Capone. Room 443 is where the sightings cluster. The hotel keeps the account on its own record — the sort of haunting a building earns one guest at a time. The account appears in 'Arlington Hotel'. The named presence is what turns a haunting into a household.
