We met up with someone that has worked at the Lambert’s Bay
Hotel for years. She confirmed that the
hotel is super haunted. You can feel the
change in energy as you pass the restaurant area toward the toilets, at the
back of the hotel. The energy is almost
static. There have been many patrons
commenting on that area. This could be
due to the phantom man standing, close where the toilets are today. They start smelling the smoke and then they
see his old school hat, the red coal of the cigarette and the smoke.
The reported sighting thought the years also included a tall
woman with long red hair and a little girl.
They frequent the area between rooms 20 – 28. I have spoken to staff before and they told
me that one evening, out of season, the hotel wasn’t that full, they heard the
most terrifying, loud scream. It made
everyone run up to the rooms. It sounded
like it could have been from room 20, but the room was empty as well as the
other rooms next to it. Maybe the scream
belonged to the tall woman with the red hair, that the night guards also
reported seeing. The cleaners won’t work
after 10 at night anymore, but they still get freaked out in the morning, when
they find little hand prints on the mirrors, in rooms that was cleaned and
locked the night before.
There has also been a phantom shower. The staff was sitting in the staff room at the
ground floor at the back of the hotel, when they heard someone opening water
that sounded like a shower. They
continued hearing this person showering, but there is no shower in that part of
the hotel anymore. It could be that in
the past this could have been the bathroom of the original hotel building of
1888.
I have tried to find the history of the red hair woman,
little girl and the smoking man, but it is still vague.
We do know that the Marine hotel was built by Mr. Joseph
Carl Stephan in 1888, when he saw a need for the hotel during the Anglo Boer
War, when all the British soldiers and traders started to use the Lambert’s Bay
harbor, close the hotel. The hotel’s
name later changed to Lambert’s Bay Hotel, as it is known today. With such a long history, it is no wander
there is so much paranormal activity there.
With the current investigation I did find strange orbs that
could not be explained and what looks like a face of a phantom man, but it
looks like most of the bizarre things do happen after 10 at night. I think I
shall have to go back and stay a night.
I am sure I will not be disappointed.
