About this Event
Built in 1867 to accommodate for most noble of guests. It was 1 of the largest hotels in the world with 365 rooms representing each day of the year.
With its history of bombings during the first World War, where in 1914, at the start of World War I, as the fighting reached the British shores, The Grand Hotel was one of the many costal buildings to be damaged. On December 16th 1914, it was estimated that around 30 German artillery shells hit the hotel by the German Navy, with its battlecruisers, primarily destroying the restaurant. Although badly damaged, the Grand Hotel went on to recover and become a base in the Second World War.
Todays visitors have commented on strange encounters & some have even left after witnessing items flying across their rooms & objects falling from walls, doors vigorously shaking & knocking with no one on the other side. Sounds of screaming, singing & laughter are heard & most commonly old fashioned music. Various apparitions are seen but none more so frequent than the lady wearing a long red dress.
