The Roebuck Hotel in Reading is the setting for a ghost that Berkshire History describes as an 18th century admiral. He is said to have died in the building under mysterious circumstances, possibly involving a fire.
The reported activity is of the noisy kind: furniture rearranged, doors locked, banging on walls and pacing in the corridors late at night. He is said to prefer the bedroom named after him.
No name, date of death or witness is given, and the exact site of the hotel is not stated in the source, so the pin is only a town centre estimate. Treat it as a hotel tradition.
