Dr Paul Lee's Haunted Hotels Site

[stu neville]

As mentioned on the Hotel Encounters, Anyone? thread, please do check out our very own Dr Paul Lee's Haunted Hotels site. He's really put some serious legwork into it, hopefully sorting the currently active from the historically active.

A good read for anyone who likes a spooky mini-break .

That'll keep me busy for a while.

You might like this if you're on Facebook. You can now search via the edit box which uses the (usually reliable) Google geocoder, or you can click on the map for hotels within a certain radius. I add a new hotel every few days.

A lot of work put in to a great site - thanks!
Nice as a reference but, when I start looking into my old places of residence then it's definitely 'rabbit-hole' territory!

Thank you for that and all the work it must have taken. Much appreciated.

If anyone is interested, I'm running a "most haunted"* inventory for October on my Facebook page.

*"Most haunted" does not mean that Yvie et al are involved.

I watched (listened to) this yesterday. It's excellent - thoroughly recommended. I can't wait to see what my son makes of the book (it's his Christmas present).

Don't forget volume 1!

I remember asking for multiple pauses in the recording (which hopefully have been edited out) as I was feeling fatigued and suffering from the side effects of a virus, so I wasn't really on the ball. I also asked for mentions of my ghost app to be removed as development of it is suspended due to a couple of reasons, mainly technical.
I hope it came across OK.

Great interview Paul.

 

[DrPaulLee]

Thank you. I was really fighting fatigue during the first half - it went on for over an hour.

 

[DrPaulLee]

I don't know if it's still on there, but you might be able to find my 5 minute interview with BBC Radio Norfolk from 29th October (about 12.30) which I gave from the small lounge at the Red Lion in Colchester.

I enjoyed it. You sound very natural (not meaning that generally you sound unnatural) and it's really warm and engaging.

 

[DrPaulLee]

Thank you, this really means a lot. My voice is horribly high pitched and squeaky I think!

Nobody EVER likes the sound of their own voice. Your voice is perfectly normal! And you have a lovely accent...

 

[DrPaulLee]

Until I went to University I didn't think I had an accent. Then I got lots of people asking if I was Welsh.

I'm from Teesside.

Glad I happened onto this thread. Will look forward to listening to this episode.

 

[brownmane]

I fully enjoyed the M & M episode. Interesting thought on why hotels et al don't want to be known for ghostly encounters.

I wonder if some of it is engendered by basically people not believing in ghosts but believing in real life intruders? So they won't believe that a shadowy person reported as being seen at the foot of the bed is a ghost but will just think hotel security is somewhat lacking?

Talking of the shadow people, I would rather see peepers than a full on figure at the foot of my bed.
