Tudor Close in Rottingdean, East Sussex, is a historic location with roots dating back to the 16th century. Originally constructed as a farm, the property was later converted into a hotel in the 1930s. During this period, it gained fame as the inspiration for Agatha Christie’s novel “The Body in the Library,” the first Miss Marple mystery.

The building’s paranormal reputation stems from various reported ghostly encounters over the years. One of the most frequently sighted apparitions is that of a young woman in Victorian-era clothing, often seen wandering the corridors or standing at windows. Witnesses have described her as appearing melancholic and lost.

Another recurring spectral figure is that of a male entity, believed to be a former innkeeper from the 18th century. Staff and guests have reported hearing his heavy footsteps in empty rooms and feeling an unseen presence watching them.

The property’s cellars have been a focal point for paranormal activity, with reports of cold spots, unexplained noises, and objects moving on their own. Some visitors have claimed to hear muffled voices and crying sounds emanating from the cellar walls.

In the 1960s, a séance conducted on the premises allegedly made contact with the spirit of a young maid who had worked at the property in the 19th century. According to the medium, the maid had died under mysterious circumstances and was unable to leave the location.

Throughout the years, numerous guests have reported waking up to find an indentation on their bed, as if someone unseen was sitting beside them. Others have experienced sudden temperature drops and the sensation of being touched by invisible hands.
