The Haunted Hotel

A man and his wife were on a driving holiday and looking for

a hotel for the night. When they found one the manager said,

“Yes, we have vacancies, it will cost £100 each for the

night.” That was a well outside their budget, so they

politely turned the offer down and asked if there was

anywhere cheaper in the vicinity. The manager replied,

“Yes, in fact there is an old hotel just up the road and

it’s only £25 each but, I’ll warn you now, there have

been many reports of the place being haunted”. The couple

thought nothing of it and made their way to the cheaper

hotel. When they arrived they paid the £25 each and, out of

curiosity, asked the manager about the reported hauntings.

The manager said “Oh that’s just my rivals trying to

drive me out of business. I’ve never seen any sign of a

ghost in the two hundred and fifty years I’ve been

here.”
