The Story

This less defined presence is speculated to be the residual energy of a soldier from the 1648 Battle of Maidstone, which took place on or near the hotel grounds, or perhaps a condemned individual from the era when gallows stood on the site (pre-18th century). Reports include a feeling of a heavy atmosphere, unexplained footsteps in deserted corridors, and occasionally, faint screams or choking sounds heard from outside the building at night, potentially connected to the grim history of executions. This spirit is distinct from Charlotte, contributing to the hotel's complex paranormal tapestry.
