Haunted Places to Explore in Baguio City this Halloween

1. Diplomat Hotel. Now called ‘Heritage Hill’ or ‘Nature Park,’ this age-old establishment has been regarded as one of the scariest and creepiest places to visit. It only takes a few steps up from where the Jeepney stops, and the majestic ruin of Diplomat Hotel shows itself.  It dates back to the Second World War, where Japanese refugees hid and committed suicide.

Until today, residents around the area still report hearing cries of the victims, mourns of sorrow and uneasy suffering. Reports of apparitions have been prevalent here, as it’s been famous for showing ghosts on photographs.

Now though, the establishment is being preserved as a heritage site to promote tourism– famous for photography, even wedding receptions and all kinds of events. Although mind you, that it still gives an off-kind of feeling (wink).

2. Laperal White House. Around Leonard Wood road is a fancy looking American-style white house– a very elegant stature that boasts a vintage feel and look. But rumor has it if you look close enough, and long enough, you’ll see a white woman appear by the window looking straight at you. And the creepiest part– it won’t matter if it’s daytime or midnight.

Like the Diplomat Hotel, the Laperal White House was alive and operational in the World War II, again occupied by the Japanese and used the building as a garrison. Urban legend has it that these Japanese committed all kinds of sinful acts: rape, torture, murder. Thus, the silenced spirits have continued to roam and haunt the building. It’s currently a museum for art and bamboo pieces, and you can roam around for a fair price. Enter if you dare.

3. Teacher’s Camp. Not too far from the Laperal White House are the cabins of Teacher’s Camp– an event place that used to be a site for Thomasites back in the day. It’s been alive for more than a century now– so you can imagine the lives it has witnessed.

There have been stories of apparitions in the cabins– women crying, floating by the hallway and a feeling of being watched. In fact, inside the cabins are reports of poltergeist too. It’s wide enough for a good ghost adventure, but if you get lost, you might just find a new companion with you.

4. Casa Vallejo. Casa Vallejo is one of the 10 oldest institutions in the city– it was built back in 1909. It used to be  War Detention center for German prisoners in the year 1917. Its ghost tale is nothing too crazy either– it’s another classic vintage home that has been renovated into the first hotel in Baguio City called: Hill Station. It even houses other establishments like eateries and cafes. But there are still tales of crying inside the building, sudden goosebumps on visitors and an eerie feel from time to time. There’s no explaining the emotion in Casa Vallejo.

Before tourists come climbing up for a paranormal rush for themselves, better take the chance and get your own feel of Baguio City’s hair-raising places.
