This relic, once attached to Al Capone’s suite at the infamous Lexington Hotel, is said to be cursed. Legend has it that anyone who dares to touch the doorknob will be haunted by the restless spirits of Capone’s victims, forever bound to the gangster’s dark legacy. The cursed doorknob now resides in a place of honor at Enchanted, adding an eerie allure to the bar’s collection of mystical artifacts.
Origin Story: During the height of his reign, Al Capone made the Lexington Hotel his fortress, a place where he conducted his illicit operations and evaded law enforcement. Within the walls of his suite, many dark deeds were carried out, leaving behind an aura of malevolence.
After Capone’s arrest, the hotel fell into disrepair, and many of its secrets were lost to time. However, during a renovation in the 1980s, a construction worker discovered an ornate doorknob in the rubble of Capone’s suite. Unbeknownst to him, this doorknob was imbued with the curses of those who had suffered at Capone’s hands.
Strange occurrences began to plague those who came into contact with the doorknob—unexplained whispers, cold drafts, and eerie apparitions. The doorknob was eventually acquired by the Society of the Hidden Moon, who recognized its dark power and brought it to Enchanted Lounge for safekeeping.
Now, the cursed doorknob is displayed as a chilling reminder of Capone’s reign of terror, inviting guests to ponder the mysteries and horrors of the past.
