31 Haunted Hotspots and Urban Legends for the Brave Traveler

14. Diplomat Hotel – Philippines

Perched on a hill in Baguio City, the abandoned Diplomat Hotel is a place where the echoes of the past refuse to fade. Once a retreat house for priests, it became a scene of horror during World War II when Japanese soldiers occupied the building, slaughtering refugees and priests alike. After the war, it was converted into a hotel, but guests and staff were plagued by ghostly wails, flickering lights, and the terrifying sight of headless apparitions. The building was eventually abandoned, but locals still report eerie encounters and sightings of shadowy figures in its ruins.
