The Diplomat Hotel UNCUT | Scariest Night of My Life (Most Haunted)
In today's episode, The Haunted Diplomat Hotel | The Scariest Night of My Life (UNCUT) is an uncut version showing all the details and evidence we found during our paranormal investigation.
The Diplomat Hotel, known to be one of the most haunted places in the world! Located on Dominican Hill, Baguio City in the Philippines. It has a rich and varied history that dates back to the early 20th century. The structure was originally built in 1911 as a vacation house for the Dominican friars and was then known as the Dominican Hill Retreat House. The beautiful, panoramic view of the mountainous region made it an ideal location for rest and relaxation. Over time, the building was expanded and eventually became a seminary.
During World War II, the property was used as a rest house and sanatorium by the Japanese forces, transforming the serene retreat into a place of horror. Stories of brutality and violence tainted its history, as it is believed that numerous individuals were tortured and killed within its walls.
In 1973, the property was sold to Tony Agpaoa, a faith healer, and was transformed into a 33-room hotel, hence its current name, the Diplomat Hotel. Agpaoa aimed to turn the hotel into a center for healing. However, following his death in 1982, the hotel ceased operations and has since been abandoned. Following its abandonment, the place was looted and ransacked. The building also sustained significant damage during the 1990 Luzon earthquake, which can still be seen today.
As of 2023, the Diplomat Hotel stands as a popular tourist attraction but its doors have been closed off to the public due to safety concerns. Known not only for its historical significance but also for the numerous ghost stories, such as the lady in black who is said to haunt the halls, a little kid who stays near the fountain eager to play, and an unrest spirit at the top floor from a recent incident. Many paranormal activities have been reported by those who have dared to explore its dilapidated halls & its dark past that still lingers within its walls. This has all contributed to its reputation as the most haunted place in the Philippines & one of the most haunted places in the world.

Overnight In The Most Haunted Resort In The Philippines (Teachers Camp)
My friends and I travel to stay overnight in the most haunted resort in the Philippines! In the heart of Baguio City, known as the “Summer Capital” of the Philippines, stands the historic Teachers' Camp. Founded in 1908 by the American colonial administration, this originally served as a sanctuary for Filipino teachers seeking rest and professional growth. While its roots are deeply entrenched in education and its colonial-era architecture, the camp is equally famed for its chilling supernatural tales, drawing both history buffs and paranormal enthusiasts.
The camp's legacy is intertwined with the stories of the land it occupies. Before its establishment, the site was inhabited by the Igorots, the native mountain-dwelling people of the Philippines. Legends speak of ancient battles fought on this ground, fueling speculations that these tumultuous events might be linked to the eerie hauntings of the camp. From the mysterious lady in white wandering the camp's grounds to the disturbing sightings of a headless priest, the camp is no stranger to tales of ghostly apparitions.
The Love Sick Igorot stands out among the spirits said to roam the Teachers' Camp. Renowned for his obsession with young female visitors, this spirit's reputation for following them and eerily observing them as they sleep is particularly unsettling. Another terrifying presence is a blood-soaked woman who appears at 3 am, her origin and story remain a profound mystery, yet her haunting image is ingrained in the minds of many who've encountered her. numerous reports detail other supernatural occurrences: phantom cries in the night, unexplained voices, incidents of possession, poltergeist disturbances, and even cases of sleepwalking.
The aura surrounding Teachers' Camp is undeniable, with many acknowledging the eeriness that descends after sunset. Skeptics may dismiss these supernatural tales as folklore or overblown tales, yet the camp remains an unparalleled fusion of historical significance and mystical allure.

THE MOST HAUNTED ABANDONED MANSION IN THE PHILIPPINES CAUGHT A DEMON | VILLA EPIFANIA
In the 1930s, Villa Epifania emerged as an architectural gem in the heart of Floridablanca, Pampanga. Its name pays homage to Dona Epifania from the illustrious Alvendias clan. Originally, the land on which the villa stands was the pride of the Guanzon family, with Captain Pitong, the Capitan Municipal of Santa Rita, as its patriarch. The baton was later passed to his son, Don Olympio Guanzon, who constructed a house there in 1925. This house, however, was later dismantled to make way for the villa, brought to life by Architect Mariano Pineda, a kin of the Guanzons. Amidst the chaos of World War II, the villa provided refuge, serving as the command center for Japanese officers, USAFE guerillas, and local leaders.
A beacon of modernity between 1931 and 1932, Villa Epifania set itself apart, being the sole entirely concrete residence in town. Its architecture is robust, with walls as thick as a foot and a unique gallery of windows gracing its western facade. Further adding to its charm is the azotea, which grants viewers a scenic vista of the western agricultural expanse, land once overseen by prestigious clans like the Guanzons. The villa also showcases Philippine hardwood sections, and its grand furniture, sourced in 1931 from the Philippine Carnival in Manila, is said to be the handiwork of Bilibid prison inmates. Architectural highlights like colored glass fixtures, a granite stairway, a majestic veranda, and ornate pillars make it a sight to behold. With a construction expense hitting 90,000 pesos, its significance was further immortalized in famous filipino horror films.
Whispers and tales of the villa's past keep the locals intrigued. While some recall its wartime significance as a haven for Japanese soldiers, others recount more harrowing tales of the town's inhabitants suffering unspeakable atrocities within its walls. These tragic episodes are believed to have given rise to restless spirits, casting a shadow on the villa's beauty and making it a beacon for both awe-inspiring architecture and chilling legends.

ABANDONED Cult Leaders House Found SECRET Hidden SAFE Deep Underground
In a quaint old town bordered by vast meadows and dense woods, there stood an old and expansive house in a very remote location. Once a magnificent residence for a family of five, it was previously owned by an enigmatic man who lived there with three of his close friends. This house, with its magnificent library, was a venue for significant gatherings. Yet, an annex concealed ominous secrets. Townsfolk whispered of eerie events from the 1990s, including nocturnal rituals, unfamiliar guests, and harrowing tales of child trafficking. By 2002, a police raid unveiled the haunting truth, revealing evidence of the cult's wicked activities. The ringleader and his accomplices were imprisoned, and the once-stately home was sealed, standing as a silent reminder to its dark past.
For two decades, the house remained deserted, its memories fading away. However, its allure began to beckon urban explorers drawn by tales of its history and its captivating chapeled room. Tempted by the stories, my friends and I decided to venture into its depths one chilly winter day.
and to uncover whats left in this mysterious home.

In the heart of Florida, nestled amid palm trees, lived a man whose life was etched with valor. this abandoned home belonged to Henry, an Air Force veteran who had bravely fought in the turmoil of the vietnam war.
After the war, Henry returned to Florida with his beloved wife, Sarah, by his side. They settled into this quaint little house, a peaceful sanctuary where they began their journey together, embracing the joys of family life.
As time passed, their family grew, and two beautiful children, James and Emily, filled the home with life. The house witnessed their joys, shared their tears, and provided a sheltering haven and unforgettable memories.
As the children grew and ventured off to college, Henry and Sarah reveled in the memories they had created together and in their last years lived in retirement.
The golden years gently approached, and the house that had seen generations of love and happiness became a symbol of the bond they shared.
As the weight of age grew heavier, Henry and Sarah eventually passed away,
The house, now entrusted to their eldest son James, stood as a reminder of their parents' legacy. He moved into the home again with his wife and child.

In the summer of 1960, NASCAR driver Tom was ready to enjoy his retirement after a long and successful career on the race track.

ABANDONED JAPANESE MILLIONAIRES MANSION WITH MASSIVE BACKYARD THEME PARK
Welcome to Holland Village
a replica of Gouda and Hoorn in the Netherlands, was inaugurated in 1983. It was developed by Yoshikuni Kamichika, who later established another Dutch-inspired park nearby known as Huis Ten Bosch, in 1992 which became more successful and still thrives today. The park spans 16.5 hectares and also includes Mansions that belonged to the owner who would live on the property. His backyard was basically the theme park he owned as well!
holland village initially achieved significant success due to the asset bubble economy in Japan, leading to an increase in domestic travel and tourism spending. At its zenith in 1990, the park attracted nearly 2 million visitors annually, but by 2000, the annual visitors dwindled to 219,000. The park was shut down in 2001. In 2003, Saikai City purchased the property and reopened it in 2005 as Cas Village, a restaurant hotspot, after spending about 1.5 billion Yen on renovations. However, the venue was forced to close six months later due to the operator's bankruptcy. Over the years, many park buildings have suffered termite damage and are currently not leaseable.
In 2016, the present operator entered into a contract with Saikai City, the property's owner, to rent a small portion of the park and buildings at no cost for a decade. The city invested 400 million Yen on exterior refurbishments, while the operator contributed 150 million Yen for interior improvements and infrastructure development. In 2021, safety issues were identified with the waterfront's wooden deck, yet again leading to a temporary shutdown of the park.
The park, once a beacon of cultural exchange and domestic tourism, is now a ghost town, its deserted pathways and vacant buildings leave a reminder of a time when it was a bustling hub of activity. Despite the city's and various operators' attempts to revive it, Holland Village remains a relic of the past, its future uncertain, its present a stark contrast to its vibrant past.

ABANDONED SCARECROW VILLAGE | JAPAN'S STRANGEST GHOST TOWN (Everyone Disappeared)
In the tranquil Iya Valley, you'll come across numerous serene little villages, yet none are quite as peculiar or serene as Nagoro. As you journey through this strange village known as scarecrow village. you'll observe a peculiar phenomenon: the absence of waving from its inhabitants, who remain utterly motionless. The reason behind this unusual sight becomes clear - the figures standing in place are actually scarecrows. More than 200 of these carefully positioned scarecrows adorn the village, each depicting lifelike scenarios. Scarecrows can be seen diligently tending to farms, repairing telephone lines, patiently waiting for the bus, engaging in silent conversations with one another, and the list goes on. The delightful challenge for visitors is to explore the village, endeavoring to spot as many scarecrows as possible, all while avoiding the risk of becoming one themselves.
Ms. Tsukimi Ayano, affectionately known as the 'Scarecrow Mother,' hails from Nagoro village but had relocated elsewhere. Upon returning to her birthplace in 2002, she discovered that the majority of the residents had migrated to urban areas in search of employment, leaving her once vibrant community feeling desolate and empty a ghost town. Everyone disappeared.
Ms. Ayano crafted her initial scarecrow in the likeness of her father, utilizing it to safeguard the fields from pesky crows. She soon noticed that the neighboring villagers would cordially greet the scarecrow, which inspired her to create more. Over time, her efforts resulted in an abundance of scarecrows that now populate the village, each one contributing to its unique ambiance.

AOKIGAHARA The Most Haunted Forest In The World DEMON CAUGHT ON CAMERA | JAPAN (BANNED VIDEO)
In the year 864, Mount Fuji erupted violently for six months, resulting in the burial of entire villages under a massive field of hardened lava. Over the course of a millennium, a dense forest grew upon this lava field, casting its shadow on the snow-capped volcano. Officially known as Aokigahara, but commonly referred to as jukai, meaning "sea of trees," this forest became a popular hiking destination a few hours away from Tokyo in the Yamanashi prefecture. However, not everyone ventured there for the fresh air and breathtaking views. Aokigahara held a darker allure, for it had gained a dark reputation in being the most haunted forest in the world.
But how did this serene and picturesque forest at the base of Mount Fuji become so intertwined with deaths?
One theory dates back centuries to a morbid practice carried out by certain Buddhist monk sects.
In Japan, Mount Fuji and its surrounding forests, including Aokigahara, are considered sacred spaces. For more than a millennium, ascetic Buddhist monks would retreat to these forests to engage in extreme forms of self-denial and meditation that eventually led to their deaths.
According to a particular tradition, these monks would meditate in the forest for 1,000 days, subsisting solely on leaves and bark. Afterward, they would willingly be "buried alive" to continue their meditation in underground crypts. Their ultimate aim was to transform their bodies into sokushinbutsu, a type of mummy, while still alive. Although 18 of these "self-mummified" monks' remains are displayed in parts of Japan, scientists believe they were actually mummified after their deaths.
Aokigahara's prominence in popular culture played a significant role in its association. In 1960, Japanese author Seicho Matsumoto published a short story called "Tower of Waves," revolving around star-crossed lovers separated by circumstances beyond their control.
However, the book that truly propelled the "Aokigahra forest" to fame was published in the 1990s. Author Wataru Tsurumi wrote a manual an unadorned guide. "Undoubtedly, the book generated significant controversy "It even included a section about Aokigahara forest, describing it as 'the perfect place".
Apart from the historical accounts and myths, it is believed that there exists a gate to hell and a demonic entity within the Aokigahara forest. According to Japanese popular belief, if someone dies while consumed by deep feelings of hatred, anger, sadness, or a desire for revenge, their soul becomes trapped in this world and continues to wander. These souls, known as yurei, appear to those affected by the curse or who cross their path. Yurei are also depicted in various modern cultural references, including movies.
Some Japanese spiritualists suggest that the trees in the haunted forest have absorbed malevolent energy over the course of centuries.

Aokigahara 青木ヶ The Most Haunted Forest In The World | JAPAN (BANNED)
In the year 864, Mount Fuji erupted violently for six months, resulting in the burial of entire villages under a massive field of hardened lava. Over the course of a millennium, a dense forest grew upon this lava field, casting its shadow on the snow-capped volcano. Officially known as Aokigahara, but commonly referred to as jukai, meaning "sea of trees," this forest became a popular hiking destination a few hours away from Tokyo in the Yamanashi prefecture. However, not everyone ventured there for the fresh air and breathtaking views. Aokigahara held a darker allure, for it had gained a dark reputation in being the most haunted forest in the world.
Its been reported that between 2013 and 2015 alone, there were over 100 committed deaths in the Aokigahara forest, according to the Yamanashi government. Those who tragically chose to end their lives in this mist-shrouded woodland often traveled from distant places to join the countless others who had met the same fate. The Japanese government, in an effort to discourage such acts, ceased publishing statistics.
But how did this serene and picturesque forest at the base of Mount Fuji become so intertwined with deaths?
One theory dates back centuries to a morbid practice carried out by certain Buddhist monk sects.
In Japan, Mount Fuji and its surrounding forests, including Aokigahara, are considered sacred spaces. For more than a millennium, ascetic Buddhist monks would retreat to these forests to engage in extreme forms of self-denial and meditation that eventually led to their deaths.
According to a particular tradition, these monks would meditate in the forest for 1,000 days, subsisting solely on leaves and bark. Afterward, they would willingly be "buried alive" to continue their meditation in underground crypts. Their ultimate aim was to transform their bodies into sokushinbutsu, a type of mummy, while still alive. Although 18 of these "self-mummified" monks' remains are displayed in parts of Japan, scientists believe they were actually mummified after their deaths.
Could this ancient form of ritual provided a model for contemporary Japanese individuals seeking to escape their modern lives by vanishing into the forest? Or is there a more direct connection?
Aokigahara's prominence in popular culture played a significant role in its association. In 1960, Japanese author Seicho Matsumoto published a short story called "Tower of Waves," revolving around star-crossed lovers separated by circumstances beyond their control.
However, the book that truly propelled the "Aokigahra forest" to fame was published in the 1990s. Author Wataru Tsurumi wrote a manual an unadorned guide to ending one's life. Published exclusively in Japanese in 1993, this 198-page book discusses the merits and drawbacks of various methods.
"Undoubtedly, the book generated significant controversy "It even included a section about Aokigahara forest, describing it as 'the perfect place to pass away.'"
The manual depicted Aokigahara forest as an ideal setting for disappearing without a trace. No loved ones would stumble upon the lifeless body; instead, one could embark on a journey and never return. It even has been reported that many bodies found in the forest were discovered with copies of the manual."
Western perspectives often exhibit a skewed perception of suicide in Japan, envisioning stoic samurai committing ritualistic seppuku to preserve their honor or World War II kamikaze pilots crashing their planes into enemy ships.
Apart from the historical accounts and myths, it is believed that there exists a gate to hell and a demonic entity within the Aokigahara forest. According to Japanese popular belief, if someone dies while consumed by deep feelings of hatred, anger, sadness, or a desire for revenge, their soul becomes trapped in this world and continues to wander. These souls, known as yurei, appear to those affected by the curse or who cross their path. Yurei are also depicted in various modern cultural references, including movies. Unlike in Western horror movies, where ghosts typically seek specific resolutions to find peace, yurei do not desire anything specific. They simply wish to have their curse lifted or conflicts resolved.
Some Japanese spiritualists suggest that the trees in the haunted forest have absorbed malevolent energy over the course of centuries.

Abandoned Himuro Mansion The Most Haunted Mansion In Japan (REAL LIFE FATAL FRAME)
Located in Wakayama Prefecture, This Western-style building is a deserted mansion with a fascinating history that is said to be the inspiration for Himuro Mansion from the game Fatal Frame. Although they have striking similarities such as being located on top of a mountain and involving hauntings. Its true origin sets it apart. Constructed in 1910, the opulent villa was the residence of Asajiro Yura, a prominent and affluent Japanese businessman. Born in 1878, Asajiro hailed from the Yura family, renowned textile dyers associated with the Kishu Tokugawa clan. After completing his education at Osaka University, he embarked on a venture in the dye industry, transforming his family's business.
As the world plunged into the chaos of World War I in 1914, Asajiro faced a critical predicament. With imports of dyestuffs from Germany halted due to the conflict, Japan's dye industry, heavily reliant on these supplies, faced peril. As the German Empire possessed exclusive manufacturing technology, the situation seemed dire. Yet, Asajiro rose to the challenge and became the first in Japan to successfully refine industrial-grade pure benzene, a significant breakthrough. He also ventured into producing phenol for disinfection and played a pivotal role in manufacturing Shimose gunpowder and set explosives during the Sino-Japanese War and World War II. Asajiro's expertise became instrumental in post-war Wakayama's chemical industry and fostered connections with military officials.
Rumors even suggested that Asajiro Yura's had gatherings which provided him with insider information on Pearl Harbor. Nevertheless, Asajiro passed away in 1964 at the age of 86, leaving behind a family legacy. The mansion remained within the Yura family's possession until the 1980s when they relocated after the tragic loss of one of their children to a severe illness. Since around 2005, the Mori no Hai Western-style building gradually fell into disuse and obscurity, its historical significance fading with time.
