The Mop- Cap Girl
A little girl wearing a mop-cap and apron and who was reputed to have been murdered by the hotel’s rat catcher has often been seen in a corner on the first floor cowering against the wall in a state of great anxiety apparently unaware of her destiny.
The Sad Room
One bank holiday Monday, in the 1960’s a young man booked into the hotel and took his life, placing a shot gun in his mouth and pulling the trigger. Although he has never been seen, guests claim they have heard someone crying. Other people have commented that it is a particularly sad room.

The Lady and the Man

In another property owned by the hotel management couples have compared sightings of ghosts, which are strangely similar. It is reported that a young gentleman in military dress has been seen in the top floor bathroom. In contrast a lady in a crinoline dress was often spotted and apparently tucked the manager’s son on one occasion. He often used to draw a lady with ‘ full dress ‘, whom he referred to as that lady.
Ghosts made noises downstairs awakening one of the couples one evening. On investigating, it was discovered that a log had fallen from the fire and was smouldering the carpet. They had obviously been warned something was amiss.

The ghost who lost face

The ‘Orangery’ dome spans the centre of the White Hart, which at one time was the hotel courtyard and stables. Once throbbing with activity this focal point used to attract the coaching fraternity from far and wide.
Lincoln became a fashionable stop off point for people destined for York from London. This route was littered with highwayman who reaped their own good harvest by robbing wealthy farmers. On one unfortunate occasion, a local highwayman came to grief when a touch was thrust in his face. He sustained severe burns, which scarred and disfigured him. He is said to haunt the courtyard as he desperately seeks to get the revenge on the coachman who maimed him.
Several guests have claimed to have seen a ‘Don – Cortez’ character who hides his face in his cloak. Those who have seen him, say he won’t rest until his revenge is complete.

The Ginger Jar Ghost

A small but rounded gentleman has been seen in one of the suites on the third floor of the hotel, wearing an elegant 1920’s smoking jacket in caramel with a cream coloured cravat looking for his ginger jar. He is said to appear wringing his hands and pleading ‘ Please help me find my ginger jar ‘. It is believed that he was once the owner of the hotel and occupied the suite of rooms, which he now haunts.
