MIDLAND GRAND HOTEL

During the late 1880's it was documented that an employee of the hotel discovered that she was pregnant. Unable to cope with the consequences of having a child out of wedlock, she is said to have thrown herself down the public staircase of the east wing. The newspapers claimed there was no foul play, it was believed she committed suicide. Due to this occurrence, a handrail was installed to prevent any further 'accidents'. She is said to reappear in the hotel, making her presence known. Originally built on the site of a Roman settlement and also part of the cemetery of St Pancras Old Church, the hotel hosts a number of rumours and sightings of paranormal activity. In the basement of the hotel, visitors have reported visions of Roman soldiers marching through the darkness. One Security guard witnessed a drip of water running down his neck as he patrolled the basement, but when he wiped his neck, it was dry.
