I was just thinking about what me and my wife did for our first anniversary and I remember we stayed in the Liverpool adelphi Hotel. As it was our first anniversary I paid a little bit extra for us to feel posh. Anyway when we got there we were shown to our room. It was in the basement there is only like 3 rooms there and it didnt feel at all posh I mean the room was ok just wasn't luxurious and when you looked out the room there wasn't a view just a drainpipe and a barrier. It's a really nice hotel though so we spent more time in the bar areas etc rather then our room. Anyway a couple of things happened the morning after....

It was about 4.30am and there was a massive lamp on the dressing table it was huge no amount of wind would have moved it. Anyway while we were sleeping it fell to the floor it gave us the fright of our life but just because of the noise we didn't think much further of it. About half 6 that morning 2 ladies walked into our room apologised and left again. I assumed they were cleaners and still to this day assume they were cleaners. However I got thinking about this lamp falling today and deciding to look something up and it's freaked me out. Bear with as I post the link...

A Liverpool hotel has been named as the ‘most haunted in the UK’ by a paranormal expert.

The Adelphi Hotel on Ranelagh St has been named ‘most haunted hotel in Britain’ by supernatural investigator and author Tom Slemen, who even claims he has seen some of the hotel’s supernatural guests himself.

“I often gave talks in the hotel’s Sefton Suite, and was unaware that this suite is an exact copy of the Titanic’s First Class Smoking Lounge, built by the same craftsmen hired by the White Star line.

During one talk, there was standing room only, and I and many other people saw three men standing at the far end of the room who were dressed as naval officers with white caps and dark jackets with all the braiding.”

“The middle officer, who looked about sixty, had a white beard and stood about 5 feet 7 or 8, and the trio were there one moment then gone the next, and there were gasps of shock when this trinity of ghosts vanished.”

They said: “It wouldn’t surprise me if it was all true, over the years a few members of staff have reported seeing a grey lady in a Victorian style dress in the basement.

Raymond Brown, a 15-year-old pageboy who died after becoming trapped in the baggage room lift of the Adelphi Hotel in August 1961. His ghost, resplendent in his cap and uniform, has even picked up the luggage of guests and carried it off to various rooms and corridors before vanishing.
An unknown whistler in the lift of the hotel who often breaths down the neck of guests and sometimes taps them on the shoulder.
“George” a man in a tuxedo with a toothbrush moustache who calls to members of the public from a certain window on the Brownlow Hill side of the hotel. He committed suicide at the Adelphi sometime in the 1930s.
An unidentified female pickpocket ghost who has been seen rifling through guests clothes and belongings in the early hours. She always disappears into thin air when she is challenged.
