Interestingly, though rather gruesome... I found this entry relating to the Curzon Hotel at the national archives website... Records of the coroner of the Borough of Brighton INQUESTS - ref. COR/3/2

From 1983 to 1989 I worked at the Curzon Hotel in the bar as well as being a nightporter. That place has got many a ghost. Many times fellow staff who worked there would hear odd noises, on one night a fellow nightporter told me that he had just seen a young woman on the third floor ask where her room was, so he told her it was down at he end of the corridor on the other side of the door. She did not say anything but walked towards the door, the corridor was at a 90 degree angle to the left with the door at the end, this door was well known for making a noise when you opened it. My friend said that was only a few minutes behind her, but as he turned the corner to where the door was there was no one there, and he said that she could not have opened the door because he would have heard it. I think the room was 350.

I lived in the Curzon Hotel which is now known as Cavendish Place No 8 from 1999 - 2001, top floor (flat 11 I think?) My friends and I recall irregular movment in the front room and one of the bedrooms. People could only place in the front room as a movement but could not put their finger on any description? There were only two places where this would be seen but at no time did we feel at unease. There was an incident in the bedroom where I could only describe as waking up in the middle of the night and somebody (I think a male figure) sitting on the window ledge and watching me. About 5 years down the line, I was telling my friend who had lived in the property after me the story - to which only she finished the end of my sentence! This story was never spoken of before. My third friend who was sitting with us could tell by the shock on our faces, that this story had never been mentioned before. If you know any more about this please let me know.
