The '''Sina Hotel''', popularly referred to as the '''Ghost Hotel''', is an abandoned hotel complex situated in [[Agonda]], in the Indian coastal state of [[Goa]]. Originally envisioned and initiated by a group of Russians, the construction of the hotel encountered numerous legal challenges, preventing its successful completion. As a result, the hotel gradually deteriorated over time, remaining in a state of [[Abandonment (legal)|abandonment]].<br />
<br />
The hotel, originally intended to be a [[five star hotel|five-star establishment]] within its area, encountered a setback during its construction phase in the early 1990s.<ref name=":0" /> The project came to an abrupt halt due to financial constraints experienced by the owners, resulting in an incomplete structure. The hotel's development was further marred by an incident involving the murder of one of its owners.<ref name=":1" /><br />

==Description==<br />
The Sina Hotel is situated at the southernmost stretch of [[Agonda Beach]] in [[South Goa]], India.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Warning!

''Incredible Goa'' reports that there are multiple accounts regarding the state of the hotel in question, each offering different explanations for its current condition. However, one prevalent narrative links the hotel's state to alleged [[paranormal phenomena]], specifically the death of one of its owners. According to this story, the owner was purportedly murdered, leading to the halt in construction. Local villagers assert that the spirit of the deceased individual continues to wander within the premises of the property.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Reporter |first=Incredible Goa Staff |date=2018-03-17 |title=10 Most Haunted Places in Goa, That You May Never Want to Visit |url=https://www.incrediblegoa.org/feature/the-10-most-haunted-places-in-goa-that-you-may-never-want-to-visit/ |access-date=2023-11-11 |website=Incredible Goa |language=en |archive-date=2023-10-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231023103833/https://www.incrediblegoa.org/feature/the-10-most-haunted-places-in-goa-that-you-may-never-want-to-visit/ |url-status=live }}</ref><br />

''Its Goa'' magazine documented that subsequent to the death of one of its proprietors, local residents began noticing unusual phenomena occurring within the rooms of the hotel complex. As a result, the establishment gained notoriety for unsettling tourists with its eerie occurrences in various rooms.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=itsgoa |date=2022-07-20 |title=Ghost Stories in Goa That Are Haunting & Worthy of 'Netflix And Chills' |url=https://itsgoa.com/ghost-stories-in-goa |access-date=2023-11-11 |website=ItsGoa |language=en-US |archive-date=2022-08-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220812145258/https://itsgoa.com/ghost-stories-in-goa/ |url-status=live }}</ref><br />

According to a report by Sunil M1 in ''[[Vijaya Karnataka]]'', there is a prevailing belief among the local community that the deceased owner of the hotel complex is manifesting in a physical form and wandering within its premises. This belief has led to a significant decline in visitors to the hotel, resulting in a peculiar situation where trees have been able to grow inside its structure.<ref name=":2" /><br />

According to reports documented by ''Knocksense'', visitors to [[Agonda beach]] have occasionally reported hearing unusual sounds originating from the hotel. Furthermore, there have been complaints regarding the presence of an unidentified entity believed to be traversing the abandoned halls.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web |last=Staff |first=Knocksense |date=2019-12-05 |title=5 eerily haunted places in Goa which will spook the wig right off of your head |url=https://www.knocksense.com/goa/5-eerily-haunted-places-in-goa-which-will-spook-the-wig-right-off-of-your-head |access-date=2023-11-11 |website=Knocksense |language=en |archive-date=2023-10-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231026111752/https://www.knocksense.com/goa/5-eerily-haunted-places-in-goa-which-will-spook-the-wig-right-off-of-your-head |url-status=live }}</ref><br />
