Toftaholm Herrgard, Smaland, Sweden

This hotel was once a manor house, owned by a wealthy baron. The baron had an attractive young daughter, and a young man fell in love with her. Unfortunately for the young man, he was a commoner, and the baron refused to allow a marriage. Instead, he found a suitable husband for his daughter (suitable for the baron, anyway).

On the morning of the wedding, the young man hanged himself from a beam in the manor house.

The room where he committed suicide is now Room 324; it is said to be haunted by his unhappy ghost.

  3. My family and I stayed in the very room, but I didn’t see a ghost. However, the faucet dripped on and off through the night, and there was a strange, musty odor. It felt a bit creepy, and I was glad when we left the next day.
