Haunted hotels | Russell Hotel, Sydney, Australia
It’s one of the best positioned hotels in the country – it’s right on George Street at Sydney’s Circular Quay – but this Rocks B&B is supposedly haunted by an old sailor.
The hotel was formerly a sailor’s hostel, and it is thought that the unwanted extra guest dates back to Sydney’s early colonial days.
Room 8 is the one for those who ain’t afraid of no ghost. Past guests have reported seeing the spectral seaman just standing there, staring at them.
Staff also report the sounds of someone walking at night over creaky floorboards, yet when they’ve gone to investigate the noise, there’s no-one there.
Could it be the sailor out for a midnight stroll?
