Blackwell Grange Hotel, London, Blackwell Grange, Darlington

Of all the ghosts said to haunt this hotel, none is as famous or feared as the Tartan Lady. Having plundered her Highland town, the Duke of Cumberland stole her portrait and brought it to Blackwell in 1746. Although the picture was destroyed by fire, the woman’s spirit is still believed to roam the grange and grounds, seeking revenge for the slaughter of her husband and kinsmen at Culloden.

Maids Head Hotel, Tombland, Norwich, Norfolk

There have been a number of ghostly sightings at this 13th century hotel in Norwich’s Tombland district, including the ghost of an elderly man believed to be the former mayor of the town, who has been seen vigorously shaking his head in the courtyard. The ghost of a former maid, whose presence can be detected by a musty lavender smell, has also been reported.

The Talbot Hotel , OUNDLE, NORTHAMPTONSHIRE

There have been many ghosts reported at the Talbot but the most reported is that of Mary, Queen of Scots. Her ghost appears in a long white dress and stands at the top of the stairs or by the window of the conference room opposite. The staircase and windows where the ghost appears were brought here from Fotheringhay when the castle was demolished. It is assumed that the ghost is that of Mary, Queen of Scots who, while standing at the top of these stairs received the news that she would be executed the following day.

On one occasion a guest staying in the next room heard the sound of a woman sobbing bitterly from room No.5, yet the room was empty at the time. The date was the anniversary of Mary’s death.

Mary has been seen walking down the upper flight of the staircase and has also been witnessed standing near the reception counter. She has also been seen looking down into the yard from a window on the landing and is easily recognisable by her white blouse and white cap.
