Guillermo del Toro recently revealed some spooky details of his visit to Aberdeen, Scotland, where the acclaimed director is reportedly filming his upcoming sci-fi horror movie Frankenstein.

Guillermo del Toro recently shared a series of tweets on X (Twitter) detailing his experience staying in a “haunted” hotel room in Aberdeen, Scotland, while filming Frankenstein. In a post shared on Tuesday, August 20, del Toro wrote, “While in Aberdeen, I’m staying in an old 19th century hotel. I’m in the most haunted room in there,” before revealing that one of the producers who had been staying in the same room had left in a hurry after being frightened by strange electrical and physical occurrences.
The manager noted that he would report if anything unusual happened during his stay. He then mentioned that he “always” stayed in the “most haunted rooms” in hotels, but had only experienced something “supernatural” once.
In another post, he gave fans more updates, sharing that nothing has happened yet. He noted that the room seemed “oppressive” and that he doesn’t want to spend any more time there. The director explained, “It may be a suggestion but at this point I’ve kept it but I sleep in a different room – I need 6 hours of sleep to have a good day of shooting – I’m in there early and late in the day – but there’s something about me in that room.”
On Thursday, Guillermo del Toro tweeted that he went into the room after filming wrapped and felt more than “just vibes.” He described sensing “something angry and turf-fighting” in the room and noticed a “streak of anger.” He also posted a picture of himself sitting in the room with the caption, “Trying to do an EVP on my iPhone.”
