At London’s Langham hotel guests report seeing the figure of a man in military dress standing by the window of the fourth floor. It's said the man is the ghost of a German Prince who jumped out of a window before the start of World War One. And if you really believe in ghosts you may be able to see former guest Napoleon III in the basement.Read the rest here.
In Scotland it's said the ghost of Lady Catherine can be found at Dalhousie Castle, Edinburgh. Lady Catherine reportedly died of a broken heart. Tourists say she can be seen at night rustling her skirt, scratching and tapping on tours. Staff and guests have reported feeling someone tapping on their shoulders or pulling their hair, only to turn around and see no-one there.
But possibly the most spooky hotel experience could be at the Skirrid Mountain Inn in Wales. Here the ghosts of former convicts who were executed by hanging from a beam at the inn are said to have haunted the property since 1110. Guests claim to have felt a rope being tightened around their necks as they slept. The rope apparently left a mark that remained there for days.
Disclaimer: I don't believe in ghosts but the stories can be amusing at this time of year.
