I was literally petrified but, after a time, the figure dissolved into nothing, and I assumed it had been a trick of the light, or an optical illusion.

"No, why should I have seen one?" I replied, and she said, "The second floor's supposed to be haunted." On checking out, later that morning, I asked one of the staff at the front desk about the haunting, and he grinned back at me and said: "Actually, it's not just the second floor. Room 202 is one of the rooms that is supposed to be haunted." And he told me a few of the better-known stories. You can check them out yourself on the Internet…
