tells a story his mother
told
him about the Langham:
Here's a story of the BBC.
There's a very old hotel in London, England. It's also famous for being
haunted. Some college ladies were staying there. In the middle of the night,
one of the college girl saw a man in his room. He was in victorian dress
and emitted a blue glow. The man was
terrified
by the apparition and threw his boot at it. The boot sailded straight through
the ghost and hit the door. The ghost then
gradually
disappeared. The very curious thing was that it had no
feet.
The floor cut him off at the shins so it was as though he was wading through
the floor. The man asked the manager about it and the manager admitted
that that room was haunted by a victorian ghost. THe explanation for the
ghost having no feet was that
since
the victorian times, central heating had been added. This
meant
the floors of the hotel had to be raised several inches. Therefore, when
the ghost was alive, the floor he was walking on was below the current
floor.
