Haunted Hotel...

As haunted buildings go, they dont get much spookier than the berengaria hotel in Cyprus...




I visited here in September and thought it would be in its prime at Hallowe'en...


given the eeriness of the place and its history, I dont think I could step inside at Hallowe'en!!

below is the story of the Berengaria...

"The famous Berengaria Hotel was built in 1930 in Prodromos. The Berengaria Hotel was so glamorous that it was called "Hotel of the Kings". It was the first hotel in the region and played an important role in attracting high-end tourism to the mountains.

Legend says...

Berengaria hotel was one of the most famous and brilliant hotels ever and was own by a rich man that had three sons. When he aged he called his three sons and ask them to separate the family wealth and money as well as the hotel so they wouldn't be any problems or fights between them when he would pass away.

So they did. The separated the families fortune and each son got what was decided by the father. The hotel was to be owned by the three of them and it was very important for the three brothers to be fair and kind with etch other so they would manage to keep the hotel in their family as it was for centuries.

But after their father died the three brothers forgot their promises and started arguing about the money and the earns of the Verengaria. In three years all three of them were killed in strange accidents.

Some say that the hotel and their father cursed them for not keeping their promise and taking care of the family hotel.

The hotel was finally abandoned and the people of Prodromos mountain took what the could get from the hotel now that no one was there to one it.

Today the hotel is concidered haunted by the three brothers that strangely died...."


and that is why it is just sooo eerie inside!!



Hope you all have a Happy Hallowe'en
