All right, moving away from cemetery. Where is our next stop?

Well, let's go to a hotel.

I've heard many hotel haunting stories in the UK.

This one is a luxury five star hotel called the Langham hotel .

朗廷是吧? Langham, isn't that the one in London next to the BBC building?

That's the one.

I walked past that a few times.

It's actually got a few ghosts in it, including one being a German prince who jumped to his death from a window on the 4th floor.

So this hotel must have been there for a very long time then.

It's been there since the 19th century.

Oh, that's why, so a German prince actually stayed there. YES. and allegedly jumped to his death.

And guests staying on the 4th floor have said they've seen a ghostly figure in a military uniform, military attire who is believed to be the Prince.

安澜, let me ask you, if you booked a hotel especially like a luxury hotel, before you go on your trip, you heard it from somewhere that this hotel is haunted. Would that make you want to stay in the hotel more or would you change your booking immediately?

I probably would change my booking. The thing is I don't really like hotels anyway. It's very rare that I can have a good night sleep in a hotel. So the idea of actually being in a hotel that is haunted probably would make it even worse.

It's such a whoops, maybe a ghost will come in and sing you a lullaby.

I very much doubt it, but the Langham does also have another ghost that of a doctor who murdered his wife and then killed himself while they were on their honeymoon.

I think I’ve heard of this story, I must have heard it somewhere. So this is the wife killer, so ladies watch out.

And ghost of the doctor can often be seen in the room and guest reported feeling sudden drops in temperature and was called an oppressive presence.

很有压迫感的那种.

So I do believe in supernatural things. And I'm not sure if I believe in this sudden temperature drop, but I think that although people don't see them, but they can feel the sort of presence or some people they can feel the presence or they can feel the change in the energy field so to speak.

Yeah, I'm not sure whether or not that's because they expect it or not.

Could be, could also be that you are very self-suggestive.

It could be .

When you heard the ghost story and you stay in that room that's supposed to be haunted and then you would experience various things.

Yes, but now I want to finish off by telling you what has to be the most famous ghost story in the UK, it's so famous, it's been made into documentaries, films even, and it's called the Enfield Poltergeist.

Poltergeist, I don't know if our listeners understand that word, that word was originally a German word, we translated into like淘气鬼, 什么吵闹鬼. Poltergeist is not an actual ghost or a spirit, but people I mean English speaking countries or even just general European countries, they do believe in that or they do talk about it.

It's just like they pull your furniture around, they throw things and they make lots of noise. They make a chaos in your home or like a house.

You don't often see them, but you hear them and you see objects moving.

So this particular case is from 1977, it's the Hodgson family, who lived in a council house in Enfield, which is in North London.

It's in London again.

Yeah, Enfield is just a quiet part of North London. It's just one of these little towns that people who work in London they live in. Mhm. And they started reporting very strange occurrences and these quickly became terrifying.

Like furniture moving on its own, knocking sound, objects being thrown like that. I know that's you, 安澜,

I know. But the interesting thing was that the focus of the activity seemed to be on the daughters, Janet and Margaret and they were kind of young girls kind of approaching teenage years.

And Janet was the center of all of the disturbances.

Maybe the Poltergeist just wants to or wanted to play with the girls.
