Opened in 1865, the famous Langham Hotel is known as one of the most haunted hotels in the world. It was once again in news after England cricketers asked for change of rooms during their Test matches played in London.
The London-based hotel has a reputation for inducing fear among its guests with rather strange incidents.
The recent cricketer who complained about such an incident was senior England bowler Stuart Broad. He said that during his stay at the hotel, taps in his room were on and off out of nowhere.
The England pacer’s girlfriend Bealey too had a tough time staying at the hotel
Broad further stated that his England teammate Moeen Ali and his better half experienced something strange at the venue. He also said that Ben Stokes too had faced trouble during his stay at the Langham.
England bowler though said that his stay during the ongoing series against India has been relatively fine.
As reported in Daily Mail, room 333 at the hotel is believed to be the most haunted with the hotel’s own website stating:
“In 1973 a BBC radio announcer James Alexander-Gordon awoke suddenly in the night to see a fluorescent ball which slowly took on the shape of a man wearing Victorian evening wear. The announcer asked the ghost what it wanted and it began to float towards him, with its legs cut off some two feet below the ground, arms outstretched, eyes staring emptily. At this point the announcer got up and fled.”
