Moon Mausoleum

The once stately Sauda Fjordhotel is said to be haunted by a remorseful colonel, who took his own life when his womanizing ways lost him the love of his life. 

At Sauda Fjordhotell in Rogaland, the fjord lies calm and dark beneath the mountains, reflecting a building that has witnessed more than a century of guests, celebrations, and quiet departures. Sauda Fjord Hotel is a manor hotel that was built in 1914 as a recreation center for the wealthy. Until 1931, Sauda had no road connection with the outside world. All traffic was by boat, which caused problems when the winters were cold and the ice was thick on the fjord.

In more modern times, the hotel has gone bankrupt time and time again, and the reviews tells of a tired place in need of renovations. Most guests check out and leave with memories. Some never do though. On the third floor, behind the closed door of room 315, something restless is said to remain.

Sounds in the Night at Sauda Fjordhotel

Guests assigned to room 315 often report disturbances that begin after nightfall. 

Heavy knocks echo through the room, slow and deliberate, like the rhythm of a walking stick striking the floor. Furniture is found moved from its place by morning. Lights flicker on and off without explanation. Glasses slide across tabletops as if nudged by an unseen hand.

Some speak of a shadowy figure standing at the edge of the room. Others describe the sensation of being watched, studied, appraised. The air grows colder without warning, and sleep becomes difficult to hold onto.

The Colonel Who Loved Too Much

According to local legend, the presence belongs to a colonel who stayed at the hotel in the early years of the twentieth century. He was a man of rank and charm, accustomed to attention and admiration. Engaged to be married, he could not resist flirting with other women, even as his wedding day approached.

His fiancée, humiliated and enraged, called off the marriage entirely. Only then did the colonel realize what he had lost. In despair and shame, he took his own life in room 315, hanging himself where he had once prepared for a future that would never come. He was only 28 years old. 

A Ghost That Never Changed

Death, it seems, did not temper his nature. The colonel is said to have remained a womanizer even beyond the grave. Female guests have reported the unsettling feeling of cold hands brushing against them in the darkness. A touch on the arm. A presence too close to ignore. Always brief. Always chilling.

One of the hotel’s managers has stated that many guests in room 315 have asked to change rooms because they feel that someone is lying next to them.

Room 315 at Sauda Fjordhotell is still in use. The door still opens. The lights still work. But when night falls and the sounds begin, some guests come to understand that not every check in is followed by a check out.
