Diplomat Hotel, Philippines

From series “The Most Mysterious Buildings (Houses, Palaces, Castles) in the World”
Year: 1911.

The abandoned Diplomat Hotel has to be mentioned among the unique attractions of the Philippine Islands. Locals don’t dare to approach to this building even in the daytime. This amazing facility was built on top of Dominican Hill in Baguio in 1911 and housed the seminary. During the World War II it came to desolation, and then was used as a shelter by Japanese deserters. During the war, dozens of bombs fell there and a great number of people were killed in its walls.

Diplomat Hotel, Philippines In 1973, the government decided to restore the building and founded a hotel there. Diplomat Hotels Company took control over the destroyed building. From the first days, its staff and guests were bothered with unexplained phenomena: horrible screams and moving objects, loud sounds of banging doors and explosions. Manager of the hotel, Tony Agpaoa, died a few years after opening. Since then the restored building lies in ruins. Despite the fact that people have long left this terrible place, the ghosts of Diplomat Hotel still continue to disturb local residents. At night, the building literally comes to life, voices of people can be heard there and doors are slammed so hard that force residents of nearby houses to wake up from a deep sleep.
