The old town of Matjiesfontein in the Western Cape is famous for its ghost stories; specifically the Lord Milner Hotel and its surrounds. One of the most well-known stories is the tragic tale of Kate, a nurse during the South African War, who passed away mysteriously. Visitors to the hotel have claimed to see her staring from the hotel’s top turrets and hearing the sound of shuffling cards, which she loved to play with her patients, from a room on the second floor, known as “Kate’s Card Room.
