Midland Hotel

Midland Hotel

The Midland Hotel in Bradford, England, was built in 1890 as a railway hotel serving the adjacent Midland Railway station. Designed by Charles Trubshaw in an opulent Victorian style, the hotel featured luxurious accommodations and grand public spaces. During World War II, it served as a billet for RAF personnel.

Over the years, the Midland Hotel has become known for its reported paranormal activity. One of the most frequent ghostly encounters involves a woman in Victorian-era clothing seen wandering the corridors, particularly on the third floor. Staff and guests have reported hearing unexplained footsteps and witnessing doors opening and closing on their own.

Another recurring apparition is that of a young girl, often seen playing in the hallways or heard giggling in empty rooms. Some believe she may be connected to a tragic accident that occurred during the hotel’s construction, though details remain unclear.

The hotel’s cellar is said to be a hotspot for supernatural occurrences, with reports of cold spots, unexplained noises, and an overwhelming sense of unease. Some staff members have refused to enter the cellar alone due to these experiences.

In the hotel’s bar area, glasses have reportedly moved on their own, and patrons have felt unseen presences brushing past them. The kitchen staff have reported hearing their names called when no one else is present.

One of the most intriguing ghost stories involves a maid from the early 20th century who allegedly died in one of the guest rooms. Visitors staying in this room have reported feeling a presence watching them and experiencing sudden temperature drops.
