Laura & CTB Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Today CTB is taking me to spend the night at a "haunted" hotel personally, I dont believe in ghosts but he does (says he's seen them quite a few times) and he's been nagging me to go for years Well, at first I wasn't too keen to go but now I've found out that it's actually a working farm where we'll be staying and they've got CHICKENS as well as a four poster bed and a private garden with a hot tub.! So I've packed the champagne and am raring to go - just must remember to check and see of CTB's packed the white sheet yet complete with eye holes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe take a night vision camera?? Oh and some garlic and crucifix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Have a great time Not sure about the ghosts bit, but personally I'm a bit of a sceptic, yet to be convinced in tales of paranormal activity.............. not exactly an unbliever, and wouldn't dismiss it out of hand, but not yet seen anything to convince me. So do hurry back and tell us of any ghostly goings on won't you . The champagne, hot tub and four poster bed are far more up my street . Sounds fabulous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds fabulous I used to be like that Annie and now live with a ghost who is usually quiet but if something major is about to happen something usually happens Dining room door was open when I got up the other morning I wonder if it is trying to tell me something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 You all know what a pragmatist I am, well i believe in something like ghosts after an experience I had when my Nonna (Italian grandma) died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillfamily Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 We had a funny (peculiar) experience a few years back............... About 2am the car alarm went off................nothing unusual.........trundled downstairs and reset it and went back to bed. 20 mins later it went off again (not done that before)...............off i went to reset it only this time whilst I was up, I realised that I could smell gas. I had left the gas on, on the hob from when I was cooking dinner and hadn't noticed it all evening Not sure who warned me.............my nan had died earlier that week but it could easily have been either my dad or hubby both who had died in the previous couple of years. Which ever one it was.........I will always be grateful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura & CTB Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 Well- back from the ghost night - but obviously the ghost's night off!! The owner did give us a guided tour of the supposedly haunted rooms - still to be convinced If anyone knows of any other "haunted hotels" please advise - CTB is determined Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I don't know which one you visited this time Laura - but Ettington Park Hotel has ghosts, and I think they do some sort of break based on that. My daughter experienced strange goings on there when working in housekeeping and later, as Duty Manager - had various reports from people staying in the hotel. My son worked in the kitchens and I worked in Accounts but nothing ever happened in the daytime........ I'll find a link.... http://www.handpicked.co.uk/opencms/sites/default/HPH/hotels/ettington_park/about/index.html http://www.bbc.co.uk/coventry/features/stories/2002/09/spooktacular-tales.shtml also mentions Combe Abbey - we spent our wedding night here. http://www.mystical-www.co.uk/ghost/zmid.htm loads in here....

SarahJo Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Very brave ..... I would not sleep a wink, if there was the merest hint of ghosts ... therefore possibly defeating "staying the night" purpose OR NOT, in a haunted house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickpea Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 This one's near where my gran lives, we go there often for a drink, last time we were told they had some ghost hunters staying with them, camera et all! http://www.theshavencrown.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
