The Old Woman, all in black, in Room 28 Linden HouseRoom 28 of Linden House female nurses home was the site of many strange happenings. One nurse tells me she once woke up after a dream and there - at the end of the bed was an old woman, all in black! The nurse said the old woman leaned over, looked at her and the nurse could distinctly hear the sound of a ball bearing falling to the floor. Initially the nurse thought it was all just part of a dream.

Many years later that same nurse was in conversation with another senior member of staff and in the course of this, reference was made to room 28, the apparition of the old woman and the detail of the ball bearing falling. They had experienced the same phenomenon!

The nurse later learned that many staff who stayed in room 28 had experienced something strange. Many years later when the nurse moved away, became married and had a family, she heard from a domestic supervisor who worked there at the time that room 28 had eventually been locked up even though accomodation was scarce. The feather on the camel's back was when an Indonesian nurse had suffered a dark experience there.

They tell me that one thing is certain, that 28 Linden House had many bad experiences attached to it and that finally all the room numbers were switched around so as not to raise suspicions and bring unwelcome attention.

I see it's all boarded up now and ready for demolition. I wonder what the future will hold when the new houses go up?

Another little add on is the Elvis Presley article which interested us as well but this is in another part of the area of buildings.

Elvis Presley visits Rottingdean Ward ?

Rottingdean Ward was a favourite place for peculiar goings on of the ghostly variety. It is said that this was formerly a mortuary. One nursing sister is reported as always having had her Rosary beads with her whilst working in the ward office.

One incident recalled is when two night nurses were having a cup of tea in the office - on the same night as Elvis Presley died - only to hear footsteps approaching the office door. One of them, thinking it was the roundsnurse shouted out, - 'Hey! You must have smelt the tea brewing!' - only to find there was no one there.

The nurse checked all the patients but everyone was safe in bed. All of this was followed by the slamming of the door which led into the garden and which had already been locked that night at the start of the shift.

Had Elvis passed through Rottingdean that night on his way to the great beyond? - Up there, SO HIGH. I'm filled with SUSPICION, perhaps you heard him CRYING IN THE CHAPEl. We'll never know or will we?
