| May 27, 2010 | Lanarkshire hotel catches 'ghost' on CCTV! | | London: A historic hotel in Scotland has left its staff baffled after a ghostly figure was caught roaming its grounds on CCTV. This is
the first time that a ghostly figure has been caught on film at the historic New
Lanark Mill Hotel, though there have been other sightings before that were not
recorded. Hotel boss John Stirrat, 35, was watching the routine security tape
when he spotted the glowing spectral figure gliding across the car park and appearing
to vanish through a closed door. "It's the strangest, eeriest thing I have ever
seen. It makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up," the Sun quoted him
as saying. "The camera shows a small bright figure, about 4ft high, possibly a
child. It's seen bending and nodding before staying still for a bit. "At one point
it disappeared through a door without opening it, before reappearing," he revealed.
The camera looks out over a parking area at the Lanarkshire hotel, which in its
past life was a working cotton mill. Stirrat, who insists he is sceptical about
paranormal activity, admitted the chilling film stumped him. "There weren't any
staff, guests or members of the public outside at the time," he said. "New Lanark's
always atmospheric and the heritage village has a fantastic history, so I suppose
it's the kind of place where ghostly activity could conceivably occur," he added.
Now a UNESCO World Heritage site, the village was founded in 1785 and provided
work for 2,500 poor Scots. And there were around 500 children living in the community
and working at the mills. | |
