Pilots for Indian Airline claim that something has been going bump in the night at Sharjah’s Holiday Inn.

And the frightened men, including celebrated pilot Captain Devi Sharan have written to the hotel to complain about the hauntings. XPRESS sent its ghostbusting team to look around the hotel and try and capture a rare sighting on camera.

We didn’t spot anything but the five star hotel has spooked pilots and caused a stir in the media. Sharan has written a letter of complaint to the hotel claiming hauntings as well as poor food and service.

“The pilot felt a presence in his room, a kind of apparition,” an IA official who is privy to the contents of the letter told XPRESS on conditions of anonymity.

A spokeswoman of the Inter-continental Hotel Group representing Holiday Inn said they were aware of the complaint. “We are dealing with the issue directly,” she said, adding she did not want to be named.

Anand Kumar Pande, UAE country manager, Indian Airlines confirmed receiving the letter, but refused to divulge details.

“The pilot has given an account of his personal experience,” he said, but added that the management will adhere to its agreement with the hotel.

Captain Sharan was not available for comment.

Sources close to the Indian Airlines investigation said there is a dispute over whether the pilot’s claim has substance or whether he may have hallucinated the incident.

Hero Pilot

Devi Sharan also hit the headlines when he captained the infamous flight IC 814 which was hijacked from Nepal and diverted to Afghanistan in 1999. He was awarded the prestigious Safe Skies award for his courage throughout the incident.
