Guillermo's ghostly hotel room

Guillermo del Toro, the acclaimed director of The Shape of Water, has shared a chilling experience while staying in a hotel in Aberdeen. Known for his fascination with the eerie and supernatural, del Toro took to social media to describe the unsettling atmosphere in his hotel room, where he sensed a disturbing presence.

He said the room had been vacated by one of his producers after strange electrical and physical occurrences frightened her. Despite this, he decided to keep the room, saying, “The atmosphere in the room is oppressive, and I am not going to spend much more time there.”

Although he hasn’t experienced anything himself yet, del Toro decided to sleep in a different room, noting, “I need six hours of sleep to have a good shooting day … something is in that room with me.”

The director is currently in Scotland filming a new adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, starring Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein and Jacob Elordi as the Monster.  

He added: “I always stay in ‘the most haunted room’ but only once did I experience anything supernatural. The rest of the time: nothing. I have high hopes.”
