The Langham
London, UK
Over the last 170 years, at least five ghosts make regular appearances in this hotel. The most infamous room, & still available for those who do not believe in ghosts, is room 333. In this room, a BBC newscaster had woken up in the dark of night & saw a fluorescent ball which began to take a human shape before his eyes. He could see through the figure to objects on the other side of the room. And when he asked the ghost who it might be, it began to float toward him with arms outstretched. He didn't stay around to get an answer

Hotel Scandinavia
Venice, Italy
Ghostly doings seem to be coming from the nearby Bridge of Sighs, a purportedly haunted site in Venice.

For centuries Venetians have claimed to hear sighs, wails & groans coming from this covered stone bridge from which doomed men caught their last glimpse of Venice

Grand Hyatt Taipei
Taipei, Taiwan
Ask any Taipei local & chances are they will be able to relay a haunted experience of some kind at the hotel, which was built on top of an old cemetery. Supposedly, this is why all rooms have two paintings, each featuring a black-white vase, to ward off evil spirits. There are also many ornaments along the corridors & lobby intended for the same effect
Weekly Mansion Tokyo At Akasaka
Tokyo, Japan
Visitors have reported hauntings in this stately Japanese hotel, particularly from building #1.

One startling report even has a woman being dragged entirely from her bed & across the room by an unseen assailant
