👻 Unearth the Spirits: Ghost Hunt at The Red Lion Hotel in Colchester

Join the Haunting Nights team for an eerie adventure at The Red Lion Hotel, a historical gem nestled in the heart of Colchester, Essex. This Grade I listed building, which dates back to 1465, is renowned for its rich history and tales of the supernatural.

👻 About the Hotel

For over 200 years, the staff has preserved the legends of at least three distinct ghosts that haunt the premises. A strict dismissal rule was once enforced for employees who dared to mention the apparitions, as a means to protect the hotel’s reputation.

The Parliament Restaurant, with its stunning beamed ceiling, recalls an era where it served as a banqueting hall and witnessed Oliver Cromwell hosting official meetings.

🌫️ The Ghostly Residents

• Alice Katherine Millar: This most active spirit met a tragic end in 1638. Notably, her apparition regularly appears in rooms 5, 6, and 10, and has been seen haunting the kitchen. Legend has it that the hotel owner bricked up her room in hopes of stopping her ghostly visits.
• The Hooded Monk: A shadowy figure seen wandering the halls, said to have died in a fire while saving children. His ghostly presence continues to send shivers down the spines of guests.
• The Young Boy: Often spotted in the Parliament room, this little ghost is usually reported by children and seems to manifest in photographs taken by the guests.

🌙 An Experience to Remember

Recently, the hotel assistant manager had a chilling encounter at 3 AM, witnessing Alice’s ghost sitting in a rocking chair. Their brief interaction adds to the chilling allure of the hotel.
