Would you like to spend a night in this room?

There are many old houses and hotels in Britain which people say have ghosts. A British newspaper, the Sunday Times, sent one of its
journalists, Stephen Bleach to investigate Gosforth Hall Hotel, a small hotel in Cumbria in the north of England. People say that the hotel has
the. ghost of a seventeenth century Catholic priest. The ghost always appears in room 11. Stephens job was to spend the night alone in
room 11. He couldnt call or speak to anybody. Before he went to the hotel Stephen said I feel a bit nervous, but I dont believe in
ghost.
I arrived at Gosforth Hall late in the evening. It was a very dark night, but I could see there was a church with a cemetery next to the hotel. I
checked in, and the receptionist gave me the key and showed me to the room. I left my things in the room and came downstairs. There
werent many guests. There were only three including me. I sat in the sitting room, and I talked to the manager, Sara Daniels, about her
hotel. I had a drink and at 12:00 I went upstairs to my room. Room 11 was on the top floor. I opened the door and turned on the light. It was
a very big room, very old, and yes, it was a bit spooky. There was an old television on a table- but there wasnt a remote control. I turned on
the TV. There was a movie on. I was happy to see that it wasnt a horror movie. I decided to watch the movie and keep the light on all night.
But I was tired after my long trip, and after half an hour, I went to sleep
