Cairo’s ‘Haunted’ Temple-Palace

As travellers pass the Cairo suburb of Heliopolis, on their way to the airport in Egypt’s capital they are astounded by the sight of a Hindu temple-like building, that is the stuff of legend in the city. Officially called the ‘Le Palais Hindou’, it is more famous by its local name ‘Qasr-i-Baron’ or ‘Baron’s palace’ and is known for mysterious happenings within!

Abandoned since the 1950s, there are some hair raising tales around it.
