Lyndoch Hotel Ghost

The Lyndoch Hotel is renowned in circle of interest for the resident ghost that on occasion makes himself felt present.

The ghost is known as the “projectionist” who is Mr. J.A. Morcom, a managed of the Lyndoch cinema for some years in the 1950s.

Mr. Morcom regularly stayed at the hotel every Saturday after the cinema show but on the evening of Saturday 14th February 1959, he was found dead in his room after suffering a heart attack.

It is believed that because the hotel was not his home and place of rest, he is “between worlds” and has never moved on. Many a staff member and hotel owner have experienced ‘unusual happenings’ and eerie presences – even to this day.

Had a lovely s & p squid last night. Absolutely good value, quality and very happy with the generous amount of salad. Will certainly have again.

Had the fish special & squid special the other night
Apart from getting charged full price for the squid (didn't notice until later) the fish & the chips were so full of oil they were mostly inedible
