Grand Hotel Helsingborg (Room 585)

Skåne · Sweden · Hotell · Scare 3/5

The mistress who never checked out is said to linger in room 585, where guests report ice cold gusts and shoves in the night.

In the middle of Stortorget in Helsingborg stands the Grand Hotel, a classic city hotel that has welcomed guests since the 1920s. It is also home to one of the most retold hotel hauntings in Skåne. According to tradition, a man checked in with his mistress sometime in the 1920s. His wife caught them during the night. The next morning the man checked out alone, and the mistress was never seen again. Since then she is said to be the guest who never checked out. The stories gather around room 585 on the fifth floor. For decades guests have reported ice cold gusts, a feeling of being watched, and occasional accounts of being pushed out of bed in the middle of the night. The phenomena are well documented in the press. The tabloid Expressen covered the hauntings in 2009 and the local paper Helsingborgs Dagblad produced a report on the unexplained events. What actually happened that night in the 1920s appears in no archive. What remains is a room that housekeeping staff and guests still speak about in lowered voices.
