To think our holiday apartment is haunted??

So we have been in a lovely holiday apartment in Benidorm since Monday. There have been a few things that have freaked me out a little since we got here. I shall list below then you guys can tell me what you think?

I feel very very uneasy in certain parts of the apartment, almost as if someone is looking over my shoulder. This could just be me being a bit woo!

I was taking a Snapchat photo. Turned the camera to use filters and the face recognition picked up a face right behind me. I shut the app down and retried 3 times moving position around the room and it still did this.

I woke up in the middle of the night and opened my eyes. DH was asleep behind me. There was a male face facing me on the pillow right in front of me.

I was sat reading a book in the living room last night, quite sleepy. I looked up from my book and there was a woman in a striped t-shirt standing next to the window right next to my DH. I looked back and she was gone.

Seriously am I being hysterical or is something going on here???

How long you got left on holiday? If I'd have woken to see a face on the pillow next to me I would sleeping outside haha. Has DH seen anything?

SongforSal · 04/11/2018 19:22

I'd lay of the booze. That, or Benidorm is a ghostly hot-spot for those that have died, and come back for a refund on what was their shitiest holiday ever.

cricketmum84 · 04/11/2018 19:22

We fly home Thursday so 4 nights left. No he hasn't seen anything but he is the most un-woo person ever. I told him about the Snapchat and the face and he said woah don't tell me anymore. I haven't told him about the woman last night yet!!!!

Oh my days!! What did you do when you saw the face on the pillow? Was it staring at you or did it have it's eyes closed? Are you sure it wasn't your husband, maybe you'd turned over in your sleep and were disorientated for a moment?!!

cricketmum84 · 04/11/2018 19:24

Haha @SongforSal that gave me a giggle! We are having a lovely time! Also have 3@2 kids with us so we are hardly downing the sambucas.

2 kids not 3@2! Not sure where that came from. Maybe the ghosty taking over my phone 😂

@Tottie I closed my eyes very very quickly and jumped round and buried my head in my husbands back!!!

Take lots of photos around the apartment. Have them developed when you get home.
Could make for a very interesting hotel review!

SongforSal · 04/11/2018 19:28

Didn't want to sound like a twatt there having read my post back x I've been to Benidorm for a hol before!

PuppyMonkey · 04/11/2018 19:29

Can’t believe you left it till paragraph four to mention a MALE FACE ON YOUR PILLOW IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT GrinGrin

Sounds like you need to lay off the gin for a while OP.

MarthaArthur · 04/11/2018 19:29

Woah vintage. Can you even get photos developed now?!

Santaisgettingbusy · 04/11/2018 19:31

Meant printed obviously,!

Tottie · 04/11/2018 19:32

Have you experienced anything like this before?!

Racecardriver · 04/11/2018 19:33

What exactly have you been doing on this holiday?

cricketmum84 · 04/11/2018 19:34

@Tottie the occasional woo feeling in ancient castles etc. We once took a pic in the Tower of London and when we got it developed (yes a long time ago) there was a massive orb!

Never ever anything like this though!

ShesABelter · 04/11/2018 19:35

How dark was the room?

cricketmum84 · 04/11/2018 19:35

@Racecardriver reading lots of books, sunbathing, few beers in the day but like I say 2 kids with us so certainly not to excess. Maybe 2 glasses of wine and a G&T on an evening but no more than that!!!

MarthaArthur · 04/11/2018 19:35

Grin loving this. Op you are delightfully weird. You sound so chilled out. Yeh just saw a face on my pillow so just rolled over Grin

Santaisgettingbusy · 04/11/2018 19:37

We have a family ghost op!! Had him for years and still spooks me sometimes!!

Potatoandleeek · 04/11/2018 19:38

Is it an flat that was always destined to be holiday accodation. Or is it a residential flat which has been turned into a holiday let?

I think a lot of residential houses end up on air bnb because the owners are too creeped out to live there full time.

cricketmum84 · 04/11/2018 19:41

@MarthaArthur I'm totally taking that as a compliment 😂😂 I suppose you never know how you will react to a ghostly face on your pillow until you see one! The husband stirred a little bit I just grabbed him tight!

@Potatoandleeek yes it's a residential apartment we have booked through air bnb! That explains it lol! The owner even employs someone to come and hand over the keys so she doesn't have to come near it lol!

Please keep updating any weird goings on. Ghost things never usually seem to occur in benidorm whats the story with the building? Is it old?

selepele · 04/11/2018 19:57

leave a recorder on and see if you can pick up anything when you are asleep

is it hot in Benidorm?
