Arsgan House Mystery?

fmd_good Arsgan House

So I'm planning a trip to this gorgeous-looking chalet, Arsgan House, near Playa del Carmen. The photos online are stunning, but they don't really show the surrounding area. I'm worried about mosqui… more

Yeah, mosquitos in that area, especially around Playa del Carmen, can be pretty brutal, especially in the evenings. Industrial-strength stuff isn't overkill; think DEET, high percentage. The jungle is close, and they're relentless. Don't just rely on spray though – consider long sleeves and pants for evenings, and maybe even some mosquito netting for your room if the place isn't super well-screened. Enjoy your trip, but be prepared to fight the little bloodsuckers. You'll be glad you did.

Good point! I hadn't even considered the mosquitos. Thanks for the heads-up. DEET it is then. And yeah, long sleeves and pants at night sounds like a good idea, even if it’s a bit less stylish. I'll look into netting too, depending on the accommodations. Appreciate the advice!

Arsgan House Mystery?

So, I'm planning a trip to this secluded chalet, Arsgan House, near Cancun. Heard it's got a seriously creepy history... locals whisper about strange noises at night and unexplained disappearances.… more

Sounds like a vacation tailor-made for you! Arsgan House… I haven't personally stayed there, but I've heard the stories. They’re… embellished, let’s say. Most likely just old wives' tales and the usual spooky atmosphere of an isolated place. But hey, if you're into that sort of thing, go for it! Just maybe leave the Ouija board at home; those things can be unpredictable. A good camera, though... that’s a must. Document EVERYTHING. And definitely tell someone your itinerary. Safe travels!

Haha, yeah, "embellished" is one way to put it! I figured as much, but still, the reviews are…mixed. Some say it's totally haunted, others say it's just old and creaky. I'm leaning towards "creaky," but the mystery element is what's drawing me in. Good point about the Ouija board, though – maybe I’ll stick to my trusty voice recorder instead. And yes, definitely documenting everything. Pictures, videos, the whole shebang. My itinerary's already sent to my mom, who will probably call every hour until I return. Thanks for the advice!
