Spirit Room - Jerome
Built in 1898 by David Connor, the Connor Hotel of Jerome, Az has a colorful past, ranging from the heights of luxury to the depths of squalor and back again. It is also known as a ghostly place.
There is one story about the hotel's electrician. He was their first guest and stayed in room 1. He heard whispers and women laughing. As it got later he felt a chill starting at the end of the bed and it crept up over him. He spent the rest of the night in his van because he was so freaked out.
In room 2, objects tend to move around. There used to be an old chair in front of the window sitting by the desk. The chair always seemed to be pushed into the desk, out of the range of the window, even though people purposely moved it away from the desk.
One guest had an experience of her make-up bag moving to a different location. She recalled placing the bad on the sink before leaving for dinner and when they returned home for the evening, she found it on the bathroom floor. First thinking that they were being forgetful, they decided to watch the videotape that they had recorded of their room before leaving for dinner.
The bag was on the sink.
The maid has also had experiences in the bathroom of room 2. She will put things in their specific places, like glasses or towels and come back minutes later and they will be moved. She said it happens three or four times each instance.
In Room 4...people hear a dog's growl coming from underneath the door and it is sometimes accompanied by an old man coughing.
The Spirit room is now a rock venue with local bands playing there most afternoons and evenings.
I tried a little film noir on this image to give it a spooky atmosphere.

Your photo certainly echoes the feel of the stories 
Once I stayed in a hotel in Warsaw (Poland) and I felt a bit freaked out as it felt like someone was there - so I left the light on all night
Anyway on the journey home some of my colleagues mentioned that the hotel was haunted! I hadn't even told anyone what had happened
