Leaving politics aside for now,a couple of years ago I spoke to a Turkish Cypriot who lived in London before and we got into a discussion about metaphysical stuff and the paranormal as he was also interested in this kind of phenomena and we agreed Cyprus must be a potentially 'hot-site' for ghosts and hauntings due to it's very troubled history with many people dying violently etc.He told me that he knew several soldiers who had bad experiences while posted in the closed area of Varosha and one said he had asked to be transferred after being badly shaken up there.Although there is a lot of debris and loose window shutters and doors etc. which the wind can blow around and make noises, as well as wild cats,rats etc. there were reports of phenomena such as voices,unexplainable sounds like footsteps in buildings and in streets and even mysterious lights and shadows at night etc. where nobody has lived since 1974....people living in the houses next to the closed area have also sometimes reported similar things and say the whole place just has a 'bad atmosphere' which can only be understood if it is experienced continually.
From an investigators viewpoint,Varosha fits all the criterion for a potentially haunted site...can anyone add any serious comments or info?

Well, for what it's worth, one evening I strolled along the beach in order to observe the devastation of the once beautiful hotels, I went as far as was permitted and came across the wire fence just as it was beginning to get rather dark.

I read the sign which declared the area a 'Forbidden Zone' and glanced over it, something moved about twenty five metres within the field of my vision and it lumbered toward me almost ape-like.

The young lady I was with screamed and turned to run, I restrained her and peered into the corner where the creature had quickly secreted itself.

Determined to discover what had caused such alarm in my female companion, I called on the 'beast' (or whatever else it might be) to reveal itself.

There was a scraping and shuffling noise, a low grunt and a rasping guttural sound as a figure emerged from the shadows and slowly approached....... my lady screamed again and I myself stood transfixed as the figure became silhouetted against the lighter background of the wall behind it.

It finally emerged fully into view, revealing itself to be a Turkish guard and such was the relief I felt that I could not help but laugh at the sight of such a bedraggled looking scruff in the guise of a soldier.

My God, if he were under MY command I would have had the 'Provo Sergeant' march the little rat straight to the guardhouse.

If he came up before ME on a charge, he wouldn't stand the 'Ghost' of a chance.

You sure it wasn't some GC soldier hiding in a basement thinking that the war is not over yet? It could have been GR?

Absolutely NOT mate, GR is far too upstanding a chap..................... come to think of it, it could have been Miltiades, the manner in which he stumbled could be attributed to the over-indulgence of 'The Devil's Brew'.

The energy comes from the thousands of curses that Famagustians cast every day on those that kept the town closed for 35 years.

I get a cold shiver down my spine when I see footage of Varosha, 2000 miles away.


I will always remember the bodies hanging from the balcony's of the high risers..

'Get real' you are probably a person with no appreciation of life other than material things and have no interest in what we describe as spiritual or meta-physical-you are missing out and I'm sorry for you!

Of course there are limited are guards in the closed area,as well as Turkish Cypriot civilans with special passes who supposedly work for the Municipality and have mundane responsibilities such as guarding churches,banks and reporting collapsing buildings,clearing rubbish etc.Plus of course, a very small number of U.N. personnel who man a few observation posts-Edelweiss restaurant used to be one(Slovaks at the moment and I know some who have a pet dog there which they take to the stretch of beach by the Alassia which they are allowed to use.Maybe this shaggy figure was one of them,especially as you were in that area just before the King George Hotel?

I heard two Dutch Tourists 'disappeared' from there last Summer ... never to be heard from since .... Their camera was confiscated by two poltergeists dressed in tattered remnants of Turkish Military Police uniforms.

The disappearance echoes the eeriness of this now dead zone ..... transformed from a place of love and living by evil zombie Turks who stalk its streets to devour any brave souls drawn by its memorial status to a proud, multi-millennial history.

It is the purgatory gateway to hell where the full force of evil reigns supreme (and illegally), within territory whose soul has been sold by diabolical eastern nomads, expanding like uncontrollable caustic slime, to destroy forever, all they can touch and steal of sacred holy antiquities from the great Byzantium, which once blessed this Island.

An exorcism is required to bring back justice and eternally rid this iconic land of the evil spirits of the Huns ....

Amen ....
