With its attractive turret and 16th-century appearance, The Radisson Blu Hotel is situated in the town’s historic heart, on the Royal Mile. The hotel is said to have been built on the site of an old Close, where the infamous Bloody Mackenzie once lived. This area has seemed to have been susceptible to fires in the past. In fact, the hotel fire in 1992 was attributed, by some, to Mackenzie’s poltergeists. Other alleged activities include guests finding items that have been moved around their rooms. Voices and noises have been heard emanating from bathrooms. Televisions turning on and off and changing channels inexplicably have also been reported. Edinburgh Castle is always a great place to explore for those wanting to be just tourists. Please check the information and availability Button for this Hotel

Dalhousie Castle, Edinburgh, Scotland
This 13th-century Scottish castle fortress is located in woodland by the River Esk. The castle was of great strategic importance in the long-drawn-out Battle of the Borders. Now the castle is a superb 29-room hotel with a hydrotherapy-oriented spa.
The spirit presence of the castle is thought to be that of Lady Catherine. She is also known as the ‘Grey Lady’, and is the most active spirit of Dalhousie. Lady Catherine is said to have died in the 1720s from a broken heart and starvation. It is reported that her activities have been heard on numerous occasions. Some people have caught the sound of her skirt rustling and bustling along the corridors. Then there are the eerie sounds of her fingers scratching and tapping at doors. There have been other strange experiences reported by the staff and guests. Some say they have felt the sensation of someone tapping them on the shoulder or hair pulling. There have even been sightings of ghostly butlers, complete with white gloves, moving around the building. Please check the information and availability Button for this Hotel

Just stayed there recently. The first night I woke up and a man with a dark coat was sitting on the bed and second night woke up with the feeling that someone was squeezing my arm tightly trying to wake me up.
Man screaming, very scary, lots of hair (inc. facial), dirty torn clothing- hair was darker but not sure if dirty to make it dark or dark naturally. And a woman in a grey outfit with a white hat and white apron. Her hair was dirty blonde. She was clinging her hands. It wasn’t until my last night there that I found out its near where people were executed.

we recently stayed at a hotel there in Edinburgh. The first night there were footsteps in our room near our beds. It was also someone standing at the foot of the bed.
Which hotel did you stay in?

In Which Hotel did you stay in?
Stayed at the Brooks hotel. Woke in the night and saw a shadow moving away from my side of the bed out to the door. Next night I woke up and felt someone watching me.

Can you please tell me your room number. Something similar happened to me at the weekend.
Julie, can you remember the room number in Brooks. Similar experience this weekend
I had the same experience in room 203. My bed was moving towards the end. television turning on and off and i also saw a shadow moving beside my bed. I didn’t sleep at all. A dreadfull experience, i had so much fear. Nothing fun about it. Told the reception and they told me they heard my story before.
Recently stayed at Raddison Blue at Royal Mile. 3rd Floor. Hardly slept a wink all night. Heard a little girl giggle in the bathroom. Felt like I was being watched from the moment we arrived. Told receptionist, she just nodded like she’d heard it all before. Nice hotel though. Pool area and changing rooms spooky too.
Just back from the apex grassmarket hotel. Woke up by being choaked and pinned to the bed at roughly the same time both nights.
Thanks for this what room did you stay in? Let us see if anyone else responds with the same experiences in the same room.
I stayed at the Brooks in 2017. My bedside lamp turned itself on around 3am. Needless to say, I left it on for the rest of the night. I checked the toggle switch in the morning– therecwas no way it could have accidentally turned on. Interesting to read here about other events at the Brooks!
