Beeb

Something went bump in the night at the Beeb. It was a well-aimed left boot belonging to radio news-reader James A. Gordon. He threw it at a ghost that appeared at his bedside in a room provided for nightshift newsreaders in the Langham, a BBC administration building.

Gordon fled clutching his trousers and right boot, and spent the rest of the night in his office across the road at Broadcasting House. None of his colleagues laughed when he told them about it - for two other news-readers, Ray Moore and Peter Donaldson, admitted they had the same experience. Moore says: I have seen the figure twice, it is like a bright white light.

It is a big thickset man with his hands behind his back.' Donaldson said: 'I woke up to find a force trying to push me out of bed. The curtains were closed but there was a glowing light inside the room.The Langham was once a hotel, and parts of it are centuries old. The ghost is seen only on the third floor, where the overnight accommodation is. 'The whole floor is very moody at night,' says Ray Moore. 'Two of the commissionaires won't go near it after dark.

Sometimes if you press the third floor lift button, it goes shooting up to the sixth. But only at night.''
