The
idea of ‘ghosts’ has always been interesting but experiencing paranormal
activity can lead to some indelible scars on one’s mind. People all around the
world have felt spooky feeling in some hotels. Some fled while some stayed back
to narrate stories. From icy sensation to weird sounds to haunting apparitions,
some hotels of the world have really seen “too much”. Apart from celebrities,
royals and common people, some hotels have also been visited by ghosts and
spirits.
Here’s a list of spooky hotels from around the
world:
#1 Stanley Hotel, Colorado
A hotel of paranormal activity has witnessed the
ghosts of F.O. Stanley, the founder, and his wife passing through the lobby
quite frequently. Also, the sound of children running and giggling down the
halls is a common phenomenon in this spooky hotel. Opened in 1907, this hotel
lost one of his housemaids, Elizabeth Wilson, in 1911. It is said her ghost
once returned to assist the guest with their belongings in room 217. Chilling,
isn’t?
#2 Hotel Roosevelt, California
This hotel is world famous for the celebrities
it houses and also the lavish parties. Sadly, this lovely hotel has also
witnessed some spooky happenings like the ghost of Marilyn Monroe viewing
herself in the mirror placed in her former suite and also the ghost of the late
actor Montgomery Cliff playing his trombone from room 928. How spooky is this!
#3 Langham Hotel, London
A very notable historical hotel in London,
Langham hotel was established in 1865 and since then it has seen the coming and
going of famous celebrities and some lavish parties. Other than celebrities and
royals, ghosts also find respite in this hotel which has often heard guests
complaining about seeing the apparition of Napoleon the third, a German soldier
and a doctor who murdered his wife. If willing you can book room 333, the most
haunted of all rooms! Willing, anyone?
#4 Hotel Raj Kiran, Lonavala
The authorities got so disturbed from constant
complaints from residents of the room at the corner of reception area
about bed sheets being pulled off forcefully, seeing a blue ray of light in
midnight, that they have now stopped renting that room. It’s been vacant since
many years. So scary!
#5 Ballygally Castle, North Ireland
The castle was built by Lord Shaw and his wife
Lady Isabella in 1625. Sadly, Lady Isabella fell off from the top of the tower.
Some say she jumped while some say she was pushed. Her ghost is seen wandering
in the hotels, knocking at the doors and then disappearing. In her honor, the
hotel has reserved a room as the “The Ghost Room”.
#6 The Savoy, Mussoorie
One of the most famous haunted hotels in India,
The Savoy was built in 1902 but after the murder of Lady Garnet Orme in 1910,
began witnessing weird paranormal activities in the hotel. Famous for its
haunted corridors and walls, the hotel was visited by the Indian Paranormal
Society who recorded a lady’s whispers. Wonder what she was trying to say?
#7
Hotel Burchianti, Italy
Built in Florence, the
hotel is famous for its impeccable styled rooms and the opulent décor. But
apart from these what makes this hotel a bit more special is a list of
paranormal activities going on at a regular basis. Guests have often seen the
ghosts of children skipping down the halls, a lady sitting in a chair and
knitting and a maid doing her cleaning jobs early morning. Visitors of Fresco
Room where once Mussolini stayed, complain of being watched continuously and
feeling an icy breath on their faces. Haunting!
