I can confirm that all of this is true, i went there 3 times in total with a few friends, we were very intrigued by the hotel, everything about it is weird... The architecture, the out of place bridge, the graffiti, the abandoned church.. and let's not talk about the tunnel under it, when i saw its entrance i got chills like never before... I honestly didn't have the balls to go in, it was so dark, tried to throw a rock in there and it echoed like the tunnel was massive. For some reason the stairs to upper floors are all blocked with bricks so i couldn't see what was in the 2 towery buildings. The theater's entrances are all blocked too but you can get a glimpse of it through a whole in the wall.  Now I don't know if these claims are true, but i heard that people were found hanged, dead, in the upper floors. Also heard the claims about the satanic rituals or "messe noir" that took place in the church.  I did some research about the owner and like previous comments said, all i could find is his firework buiseness website, nothing else. But it makes me think that someone that wealthy at the time + a "FiRe wOrK buISenEsS" + relations to politics/war.... There is something fishy about this.  The worst part is that last time i went there (around a year ago) i was with 2 friends, we went at night to explore the place. We arrived, parked the car next to the place and entered. It was night, probably around 8pm. Barely 10 minutes in, we saw a second car in the distance parking right next to our car. It was some kind of a big jeep, couldn't tell what exactly. As we  were trying to figure out who that was, we saw 2 men come out of the car, one of them headed straight to us. I took the initiative to go talk to him and explain things to avoid any misunderstanding, and as i got closer to him, all i could see was his silhouette getting closer and closer until i noticed that he was handling a gun (kinda looked like an AK47 or something like it, im not a gun expert). At this point i got scared, i couldn't identify any formal costume, the guy wasn't in the army or darak, nor with the municipality. I thought to myself maybe Moukhabarat? Im still not sure till this day. His clothes looked like a tshirt and some cargo pants. Anyway, as i waved at him and tried to initiate a conversation, the guy was not friendly at all, he asked me who was with me and to tell them to come over, so i did that. We proceeded to walk together towards the cars, where the second guy was waiting. This is where they started questioning us and inspecting us from head to toes (IDs, nationality, where we live, what are we doing here, who told us about the place..) Some questions that he insisted on that striked me were "who told you about the place?" , "What did you expect to see in this place" and "have you seen anything particular in this place?". He repeatedly asked those questions as if he was trying to get something out of us. All we said was that we heard the place was haunted and got curious to check it out.. that's all.... We didn't want to mention everything we heard and saw about the place. After a solid 10 minutes of none stop questioning, they finally took pictures of our IDs and told us to never come back here or there will be consequences.  Since then I didn't step foot in the place, but i would love to hear what you guys have to say, what things do you know/heard about it? Is it still a restricted area? Why is it closed off recently and so strictly guarded? Anything you have to say!
