The information obtained from ChatGPT about how "spooky" the hotel you stay in is

The Grand Hotel does indeed have many "spooky rumors," but I have sorted through all the information I could find, and there aren't many ghost stories with a clear source. Moreover, there is currently no evidence to prove that there is a specific "haunted room" or "haunted floor" in the Grand Hotel.

The most famous and specific incident was recounted by a Taiwanese netizen in June 2024 regarding their stay. They said they stayed in a corner room on a lower floor of the main building but could not remember the exact floor or room number. While watching TV at night, the television automatically turned off every few minutes, and later the intervals grew shorter. They called the front desk for maintenance, after which the room lights suddenly went out and the previously turned-off bathroom light turned on by itself. They later claimed to have seen a figure with long hair and a body emitting green light sitting on the sofa, looking toward the door. When they ran to the lobby to ask the maintenance staff, the front desk told them there was no record of the repair request. This post can still be found today, but it belongs to a personal narration by the netizen without any independent evidence for verification.

There is also an earlier record from 2013, where the guest clearly stated they stayed in room 422 of the front building. During the night, the couple heard sounds similar to moans, running, and banging, initially thinking they encountered a supernatural phenomenon, but eventually found out the sounds came from an old refrigerator compressor in the closet. Thus, room 422 is instead a "haunted story" with a real explanation identified.

The reason why rumors easily arise in the Grand Hotel is indeed related to its historical location. It was originally the Taiwan Shrine during the Japanese colonial period, completed in 1901, worshiping figures including Prince Kitashirakawa Yoshihisa; after the war, the shrine was demolished and rebuilt as a hotel, officially becoming the Grand Hotel in 1952. The century-old gold dragon and other facilities in the hotel today still originate from the shrine of that time. This history is not an urban legend; it is confirmed by both the Grand Hotel and official Taiwanese cultural materials.

Additionally, there are often connections made between the 1995 Grand Hotel fire and hauntings, with some claiming that "many people died in the fire." This assertion can largely be ruled out. The fire on June 27, 1995, was indeed very severe, causing significant damage to high floors and the presidential suite area, but records from that year indicate there were no major casualties, so the story of "fire victims haunting the hotel" lacks historical basis.

The Grand Hotel's history has indeed been involved in some very dramatic cases. For instance, the "Grand Hotel Murder Case" in 1955, where a couple stayed at the Grand Hotel, and the husband attempted to murder his wife on the way to Yangmingshan, later dying by jumping from a building during detention. However, the crime and death did not occur within the Grand Hotel; it was just that the hotel records later became important evidence in the case.
