Berengaria Hotel, Cyprus
From series “The Most Mysterious Buildings (Houses, Palaces, Castles) in the World”Year: 20th century.
The main mystical attraction of Cyprus is the abandoned Berengaria Hotel. Its opening has taken place over 80 years ago. The luxury hotel has been focused on the wealthiest tourists and has brought considerable income to the owner. After the founder's death, his business was inherited by three sons, but they have failed to establish the work. They often quarreled and became hostages to their own greed, so once brothers turned into bitter enemies. Soon all three died under mysterious circumstances, and the once luxurious hotel was abandoned.
Staff 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.
