Spanish hotel named one of the most haunted in Europe

WITH Halloween just around the corner, interest in haunted hotels around the world has risen by 100 per cent in the last week alone, and it turns out that one Spanish hotel has been named one of the most haunted in Europe.

Company Uswitch uncovered the Spanish hotel after creating a study based on a variety of factors, including hotels’ TripAdvisor ratings, the price for a one-night stay and the number of guests reviews containing the word or words synonymous to ´spooky´ to create a points-based index that determines the best haunted hotels in the world.

And it turns out that the Parador de Jaen in Spain comes in 13th place with a score of 2.63 out of 10.

The hotel offers the third cheapest overnight stay of all the European accommodations analysed (€115.19), behind Karosta Prison Hostel in Latvia (€28.95) and The Bell in England (€75.02).

Located in an old Moorish fortress from the 13th century, rumours are that you’ll hear the cries of a dead and broken hearted woman in room 22 and see the spirit of the Terrible Lizard, a dead prisoner.

And if having one of Europe´s most haunted hotels on your doorstep has put you in the mood for a Halloween party, or you haved booked your own stay at a Spanish hotel, the Euro Weekly News has put together a list of the 11 most spooktacular Halloween costumes for all the family (including your four-legged friends).
