The Grand Burstin Hotel

A phantom lady with black, curly hair and wearing a white dress has been seen reflected in mirrors and glass. She is said to be called Mary and was allegedly murdered after she spurned the advances of one of the chefs here. A 2026 newspaper article claims, "She has been seen donning a white dress, her long, dark, curly hair flowing around her. A 2022 TripAdvisor reviewer recounted their experience at the hotel, sharing: "Fella 4 doors down said he saw what looked like a lady in Victorian dress pass him on the stairs. He said he was also awoken at 3 am by the same apparition standing at the foot of his bed, pointing at him. But to be fair, he did stink of booze."
