Royal Hotel – Australia
Nearest city: Seymour, Victoria

This 19th-century railway hotel is famously patrolled by a spirit known as the Lady in White, believed to be a former staff member or resident who died under mysterious circumstances. Guests in the upper-level rooms frequently report the sensation of being tucked into bed by icy hands and the distinct scent of lavender perfume manifesting in the dead of winter. The hotel’s basement is a hotspot for aggressive activity, with “The Man in the Hat” being caught on CCTV moving heavy furniture and manifesting as a tall, dark mass near the old cellar doors. Paranormal investigators have recorded clear EVPs of a woman’s voice whispering “Get out” in the main dining hall. Documented modern encounters often involve bathroom taps turning on at full pressure in unoccupied suites.
