Anyone in Sydney for Halloween who wants to take in the spooky side of Sydney should check in at the Russell Hotel.
The hotel, which was formerly a sailors' hostel and is situated in The Rocks, Sydney's oldest district, is thought to contain a seafaring guest who seems somewhat reluctant to check out.
Stories which date back to colonial times suggest that Room 8 is still the residence of a spectral seaman who has been known to stand and stare at guests.
The ocean-faring apparition also has a tendency to patrol the hotel at night, with staff and guests reporting the sounds of creaking floorboards only to find no-one there when they have gone to investigate the noise.

I wouldn't mind visiting a haunted place...MAYBE.
I don't imagine I'd want to sleep in a room with a dead person staring at me.
