The Berengaria Hotel in Cyprus the subject of mystery throughout the years in the village which is situated in Prodromos among the Pine Forests, a majestic building.
This hotel is like a castle and has a spooky history. Closed down due to bad business but many stories uncover secrets within the family. The most famous and rich people from all over Europe visited including King Farouk and Winston Churchill. It started off with 88 rooms and when it closed in 1984 there were 172 rooms
The
original owner built the hotel himself with an international presence. This all went to waste and this was due to
the fact that after his death, the 3 sons inherited it. Georgos was the eldest, Takis and Tasos.
However the sons were greedy, vain and jealous of each other and
this caused the hotel to fail.
Legend has it that the three brothers died in mysterious and suspicious circumstances. This provoked interest to the story of the hotel. The eldest of the brothers, Georgos they say, committed suicide by throwing himself over the Caledonia Waterfall – The highest waterfall in Cyprus. His Morris Wolsey car was found parked nearby. Locals also believe that his father avenged him and his beloved “Berengaria” brothers for their unfulfilled promise.
The hotel is a haunted place as people have seen shadows flying behind the broken glass left over from the large windows and heard screams and cries.
There are stories of a manager who killed himself and now wanders the halls looking for new victims emerged. It was also said that two female ghosts haunt the hotel; a merchant’s wife who was found dead in the swimming pool seeking to avenge her death and maiden with black raven hair, dressed in white linen and visible only during the dusk hours leaning against one of the windows.
All these stories have now made the hotel a place sought after adventurers and ghost hunters.
An eerie “creepiness” of the hotel was the fact that furniture, beds and crockery as well as clothes in wardrobes were still lying around the hotel with old postcards all over the entrance of the hotel as if all the residents evacuated in a hurry.
Now the hotel reminds unpleasant thoughts about the disquiet of life, especially when the wind is howling in the bare corridors of the castle. Like the skeleton of a prehistoric animal, “Berengaria” silently stands in Troodos known as the queen of the mountains.
Stuff out of there was taken by locals, which became the first witnesses of unexplained phenomena occurring at the hotel. Many of them believe that spirits of dead brothers live in the walls of the hotel even these days. By nightfall, you can see ghosts and hear the voices of men who fiercely argue about something. Visiting the hotel after dark is extremely dangerous, not only because of the high probability to meet the ghost of one of the former owners. Blighted buildings are very dilapidated and may collapse any time. Numerous snakes, which have chosen abandoned ruins as their home, add even more mystery to these places.
There are signs
of no entry and blocks the hotel off to visitors. This is due to the fact that the
building itself is unstable and dangerous to walk into, especially at night,
but visitors still seek the thrill of this location and enter despite all his
efforts.
The Berengaria Hotel will always remain a mystery to the public and the secrets involving it may never come to the surface. The hotel has been abandoned for 30 years.
