At first glance, the Toftaholm Herrgård may not s At first glance, the Toftaholm Herrgård may not strike you as one of Sweden’s most haunted hotels. A charming 19th-century manor that emphasizes ensuring tranquillity and relaxation for guests, it may be somewhat alarming to discover the story of the hotel’s tragic resident ghost, and how his spirit came to live on in one of the guest bedrooms today.⠀ ⠀ It is said that, years ago, the peasant Mats fell hopelessly in love with the charming young daughter of the Baron who owned the manor. She returned his affections, and the two young lovers engaged in a beautiful, whirlwind romance. However, their story took a tragic turn when the Baron uncovered their love and, deeming Mats an unworthy suitor for his daughter, arranged instead for her to be married to a nobleman. The wedding was said to be a lavish affair, framed perfectly by the picturesque scenery of the nearby Vidöstern Lake. Yet Mats was not in attendance. Devastated by the loss of his beloved, he tragically committed suicide that same night, hanging himself in what is now recognized as Room 324 in the hotel.⠀ ⠀ Today, Mats’ tale is still unfolding, as guests staying in Room 324 have reported activity such as mysterious noises through the night, with the understanding that his spirit still lives on between those four walls. As if ensuring commitment to the room, Mats can often be found closing any doors and windows which are left open, enclosing himself in his grief. ⠀ ⠀ However, the staff at the hotel will attest that Mats is a friendly ghost, particularly towards young women staying at the hotel. His presence may often be felt as a reassuring presence, and a gentle touch on the shoulder.⠀ ⠀ Will you be booking a stay in Room 324 of the Toftaholm Herrgård, and visiting the romantic spirit of Mats?⠀
Good food, quality beer, and plenty of ghosts. The Good food, quality beer, and plenty of ghosts. The Black Swan Inn of Peasholme Green, York is a step back in time. Sloping floors, traditional four-poster beds, and creaky hallways add to the haunted ambience, as visitors immerse themselves in the hotel’s 15th century charm.⠀ ⠀ Dating back to the year 1417, the inn was initially built as a private residence for William Bowes, a Sheriff of York, and later Lord Mayor. Rumors claim that underneath the inn lies a hidden passageway, running between the pub to St. Cuthbert’s Church. But, the question remains, why did Bowes build these passageways? And what were they used for?⠀ ⠀ While enjoying one of the inn’s historic open fireplaces, sit back and relax with a ghost story or two. The hospitable staff at the Black Swan have had many experiences with the supernatural and are eager to share their tales.⠀ ⠀ Tales such as The Workman. A ‘regular’ here at the Black Swan, he can be seen wearing a bowler hat and pacing nervously throughout the space. He also appears to fidget, as if waiting for someone to arrive. Judging by his dress and style, it is said that this mystery man passed away in the mid 19th-century. That is quite a long time to be left waiting.⠀ ⠀ Another fixture of the pub and inn is that of a young woman wearing a long white gown. She is most often seen in the bar, lounging near to the fireplace. She gazes into the warm glow, hiding her forlorn visage with that of her flowing black hair.⠀ ⠀ Last but not least is the apparition of a pair of legs. A pair of men’s legs, to be precise. They can be seen walking through the staff quarters and at times heading down the stairs.⠀ ⠀ But the staff are not the only ones with first-hand hauntings. Guests at the inn claim various experiences, such as windows opening and closing on their own, and in one case, a man’s cane continually falling over throughout the night.⠀ ⠀ For your own private haunted experience, check out one of the Black Swan’s “Ghost Suppers”. A combination of haunted history, local ghost tour and good food, each supper is a unique and frightful experience in York’s oldest and most haunted pub.⠀ ⠀ 📸@crazylurcher⠀
Breathtaking views spread across 650-acres of park Breathtaking views spread across 650-acres of parkland, the Kinnitty Castle, located at the foothills of the Slieve Bloom Mountains, has graced its surrounding landscape for over 800 years.⠀ ⠀ The first rendition of this now luxury hotel was first built in the early 1200s. Throughout its varied history, the Kinnitty castle has been burnt to the ground, it was then rebuilt by the Normans, it was later home to an Abbey, and finally, in 1994, it was restored to the picturesque stay that it is today. After such dramatic and oftentimes violent changes, over such an expansive period of time, it is no wonder that the Kinnitty Castle of Offaly Ireland is a supernatural breeding ground.⠀ ⠀ The most famous and frequently seen spirit to wander the halls at Kinnitty is that of a friendly monk. Staff and locals lovingly refer to him as the Phantom Monk of Kinnitty. When the pious phantom chooses to appear, he takes on the form of a solid apparition. Guests will often greet the ghost with a nod or a hand wave, not knowing that this good-natured fellow has been dead for ages.⠀ ⠀ For a night of ghost hunting, prepare your voice recorders and video cameras and book a stay in either the Geraldine or Elizabeth bedrooms. These are the castle’s most actively haunted spaces. We do not know the names or histories of the dead here, but we do know that they crave communication with those who stay the night.⠀ ⠀ The Geraldine and Elizabeth may be the most haunted rooms on the property, but they aren’t the only rooms abound with spirits. Check into any one of Kinnitty’s stunning 37 en-suite guest rooms and you’ll be sure to leave with a story or two.⠀ ⠀ During your date with the dead, make sure to allocate some time for the living. While on the property, you can expect the best in regional cuisine and live Irish music. Tennis courts and horseback riding are also available, as well as many other family-friendly activities.⠀ ⠀ The gothic grandeur of Kinnitty Castle is legend. Become a part of its history by booking your stay today.⠀ ⠀ 📸by @theurbexgirls_ireland⠀
