ACCOMMODATION

You will be staying at what is considered to be the MOST HAUNTED hotel in the Midlands. 

The Station Hotel is notorious with ghost hunters and locals alike and has more than a few stories to tell!

TV's Most Haunted visited here in 2003 and since then countless paranormal groups have stepped through it's doors in search of supernatural phenomena...and they get it!

With a history of suicide, murder and criminality is it any wonder that these walls retain palpable connections to the past?

HISTORY

Sitting at the foot of the imposing castle, on Castle Hill, The Station Hotel was opened on 28th May 1898 as a result of the railway station appearing in Dudley in 1850. The building was originally black and white with stables and an inner courtyard. 

Opposite the Station Hotel, the Opera House was opened in 1899 which saw high society frequent the town, many staying at the prestigious Station hotel.  When the Opera House tragically burned down in 1933 it was replaced by the Dudley Hippodrome which opened it's doors in 1936. Once more theatrical life was breathed into the hotel and to accommodate the growing numbers of guests it was extended and modernised.  The perfect glamorous location for stars of stage and screen to stay whilst performing at the Hippodrome, its bedrooms have played host to the likes of  Bob Hope, Laurel and Hardy, Frank Sinatra and George Formby.  Due to its growing success and upper class reputation, the hotel was extended further in the 1960s with the addition of a cocktail bar upstairs and another downstairs in the ballroom.

GHOSTS

There have been reports of poltergeist activity from both staff and guests alike, with many believing it stems from a brutal murder which took place in the hotel. Legend tells that a man named George was at the time the Landlord and he took a shine to one of the maids, a young girl named Elizabeth. He lured her down into the cellars where he planned to seduce her. 

She declined his advances and threatened to tell his wife about his behaviour. With this, George stabbed her violently before hiding her body in an empty barrel, which sometimes later, he buried outside the hotel. Both the cellar and the area of land where she was buried remain today and the sounds of heavy boots walking up and down the cobbled cellar passageway between the 2 areas have been heard. 

Stones and coins are also thrown in the cellar, and on one occasion a coin rolled down one end of the passageway, came rolling back of its own accord and stopped at the feet of the person who rolled it. 

George is believed to be the cause of some of the more violent poltergeist activity in the hotel, with staff witnesses knives and plates being thrown from tables, glass smashing behind the bar and people being pushed on the stairs. He seems a nasty character in death as he was in life!

The ghost of Elizabeth also roams the hotel, especially it seems room 214 where strange light anomalies are often captured on camera and furniture has been known to move on its own.  A high level of paranormal activity is also reported in rooms 215 and 217 with guests fleeing in the middle of the night on some occasions!

In addition, there are believed to be the ghosts of 2 children present in the hotel. One, a little girl named Catherine, was tragically killed by a horse and cart outside.
