Photograph of a ghost

Do you believe in ghosts?

The 150-year-old hotel, Decebal, in Romania has become an attraction after a photograph of a ghost was published by newspapers and television.

The Decebal hotel has been closed for five years due to renovations but people who have been inside this old hotel claims to have seen and in some cases photographed the ghost of a tall woman in a long white dress.

It´s believed that this hotel is hiding ancient Roman treasure under its foundations and the ghost of the woman is keeping treasure hunters away by watching the hallways and staircases.

One witness, 33 year old Victoria Iovan said:

“I photographed my boyfriend in the hotel. Back home I was shocked to see another woman’s shadow in the picture. She looked like a priestess in long white clothes.”

If you are planning to visit this hotel to see the ghost or to get your hands on that treasure make sure that you have ghost busters on a speed dial.
