Would you like to spend a night in this room?

There are many old houses and hotels in Britain which people say have ghosts. A British newspaper, the Sunday Times, sent one of its

journalists, Stephen Bleach to investigate Gosforth Hall Hotel, a small hotel in Cumbria in the north of England. People say that the hotel has

the ghost of a seventeenth century Catholic priest. The ghost always appears in room 11. Stephen´s job was to spend the night alone in

room 11. He couldn´t call or speak to anybody. Before he went to the hotel Stephen said “ I feel a bit nervous, but I don’t believe in

ghost.”

“I arrived at Gosforth Hall late in the evening. It was a very dark night, but I could see there was a church with a cemetery next to the hotel. I

checked in, and the receptionist gave me the key and showed me to the room. I left my things in the room and came downstairs. There

weren´t many guests. There were only three including me. I sat in the sitting room, and I talked to the manager, Sara Daniels, about her

hotel. I had a drink and at 12:00 I went upstairs to my room. Room 11 was on the top floor. I opened the door and turned on the light. It was

a very big room, very old, and yes, it was a bit spooky. There was an old television on a table- but there wasn´t a remote control. I turned on

the TV. There was a movie on. I was happy to see that it wasn´t a horror movie. I decided to watch the movie and keep the light on all night.

But I was tired after my long trip, and after half an hour, I went to sleep
