Hotel ghost!

This is a haunting that takes place at the Kalamunda Hotel, Now i live in kalamunda Western Australia and the Kalamunda hotel is a popular drinking venue. recently has been renovated and changeg. However the hotel is said to be haunted and has appeared on numerous ghost hunting televisions shows. The story is as follows.

The Kalamunda Hotel Ghost
According to legend the original owner and builder of the Kalamunda Hotel, Paddy Connolly, was something of a ladies' man. It is said that he succeeded in seducing a teenage girl who subsequently became pregnant. She is supposed to have jumped from the hotel balcony, being killed in the fall, and from that time has haunted the hotel.

One version of the tale has the girl suiciding in Room 24, where guests never stay for very long. Glowing lights have been seen in this room when it is unoccupied and the corridor outside is said to be always chilly, even on the warmest days.

The ghost has been seen on many occasions, a woman with long blonde hair and dressed in a nightgown, either walking through walls or appearing as a grey figure in the air. Unexplained noises, the movement of small items, such as keys, from place to place and the sound of phantom footsteps above the stairs and the unexplained tripping of fire alarms are said to be common manifestations of the ghost. Sometimes the footsteps follow guests and workers along the hotel verandah.

Yet another version of the story has it that there are two ghosts in the hotel - that of Paddy Connolly and of his daughter who is said to have died in the hotel's attic. Their ghosts walk on air between the original two hotel buildings.

I'd love to sleep there for one night, ghosts seem to be attracted to me for some reason.

There is books and resources online where you can get a list of haunted hotels and stories about them, for the purpose of you going there to check them out for yourself!

The only problem is you have to figure out which books are REAL and which ones are just ADVERTISING for the hotels...

Haunted hotel! I think I will stay away. Seeing ghosts is not something I want to do on a vacation.
