The lift haunted by Deller's ghost?

Haunted Lift?

Sir Edwin Deller (1883-1936), was Principal of the University of London between 1929 - 1936.
On November 28th, 1936, Deller was visiting Senate House Tower, then under construction, and it was here that he met an untimely end, being crushed by a falling item of construction equipment.  The exact nature of this equipment is under dispute, though it was large enough to simultaneously injure four others!                             
Deller's ghost is said to haunt a lift in Senate House , but is it this lift? 
Another lift has been suggested as a possible site of the accident, although possibly not of the haunting...

                                                                                                                 

Watch this space for more on Deller's ghost and please do send us any relevant information which may shed more light on the haunting.
