The Russell Hotel, Sydney Australia
Located at ‘The Rocks’ in the heart of Sydney, and within walking distance to some of the city’s key attractions, The Russell Hotel offers boutique accommodation for travelers. In 1788 the area is where the first penal colony was established.
The hotel is apparently home to a number of ghosts, but the most prominent is that of an old seaman who is said to be seen and heard in Room 8. Sometimes he haunts the corridors and sometimes he simply visits quickly, but even staff are reported to have noticed that the floorboards creek even when the room is unoccupied.
