Something For Halloween Part 2

I really didn’t intend a sequel to the previous post but then again, I want to arouse your curiosity on the former Diplomat Hotel. I guess (and I’m expecting) a lot of people will be here come November 1. Some may want to go ghost hunting or just go some place else aside from the usual tourist spots here in Baguio.

Me thinks it is not really creepy inside when you go in numbers. It was a different story for us as I only went with my husband. When someone has a vivid imagination, ghost stories of the place don’t really help. When you’re there, imagination goes into overdrive and it’s hard not to shut down that part of the brain.

Anyway, on with the pictures…

This is what the abandoned hotel looks like outside. Broken windows, walls with vandalism. But still, it is beautiful in a way. It must have been a grand hotel before.

The entrance to the former Diplomat Hotel. I said a prayer before entering.

The only sound we can here inside the abandoned hotel are the water dripping from the ceiling and our footsteps.

The lobby floor is made of marble. At the end of the lobby is a fireplace. A 7-legged wooden table, stands in front of this fireplace. The white table is clearly an antique with huge drawers.

It appears lonely as it is the only furniture in the lobby. Perhaps it served as a bedroom table before. The table seemed to welcome us.
