India.
Belgian millionaire and fell in love with the East.
Lived "Edward Empain" long years in India and even adored ancient mythology was his decision to search for the oldest historic place in front of him but did not find the cradle of ancient civilizations .. Egypt.
Arrived Baron "Empain" to Cairo, have not gone days even zap share gram in the heart of Millionaire Belgian .. and adored the man Egypt to the point of madness and took the fateful decision to stay in Egypt until his death .. He wrote in his will to be buried in the dust of Egypt even though he passed away outside!
He was naturally of such a decision was taken to him looking for a permanent residence in the place where he fell Bara whim .. It was the strangest thing is the choice of Baron "Empain" to place in the desert .. near Cairo.
Baron chose this place as adjacent to Cairo and Suez soon .. and enjoy the place purely air and air purity .. and certainly not one in this time sees what he sees as the economic Belgian does not know what is going on inside his head for the future.
Palace
Once you have chosen the Belgian millionaire who will live to the place where -oho desert road east of Cairo, Baron worked "Empain" on the study of architectural style, which will be built by his home in Cairo .. and because Baron was also interested in architecture has made a decision that resides exclusively unparalleled in the world whole.
But remained choose architectural style problem roiling Baron even found wandering the desired inside a art galleries in the French capital, in this exhibition, and signed his eyes on the design of the palace is very magnificence ordained a French artist named "Alexander Marcel" .. the design was very attractive and was a mixture wonderful between European architecture Indian architecture.
Baron authentic
Baron recalls that during his stay in India, when the pain of his severe illness almost kills him with his life cared Indians and cared for his health and save him from certain death. And remember Baron "Empain" the decision taken by her days after his recovery that builds the first new-style palaces of India expressed his gratitude to the people of this country.
Baron did not hesitate, "Edward Empain" for a moment .. Bought the design of "Marcel" and returned him to Cairo, and handed over to a number of design engineers Italians and Belgians to initiate construction of the palace on a high knoll identified by Baron them in the desert of Cairo.
After five years .. architectural masterpiece came out of the soles of the desert.
Wast stately palace balconies marble statues in the form of elephants and has a tower on the base spins moving full cycle every hour to allow him to see what sitting around in all directions.
The palace consists of two floors and a small extension near it topped with a large dome, and on the walls of the palace there are marble statues of great dancers from India and elephants to raise the windows studded with small pieces of glass and the Knights of the Belgian carrying swords and mythical animals leaning against Jdrn palace. Remarkably, it was created so that minors do not lose sight of the sun.
Ghosts Night
Most of the rumors that have made "Baron Palace" beta real horror is about to hear the voices of the transfer basis palace between Hgrath different in the middle of the night, and the lights that light up suddenly in the back yard of the palace and extinguished too suddenly, with a degree of ratification of the population adjacent to the palace so great, Faisrah janitor one of the buildings in front of the palace that ghosts do not appear in the palace, but at night, it does not offer the opportunity for one to remain inside the palace, whatever the price.
Complements, saying that what is being said about the existence of ghosts is true, which confirms that what happened in 82, where he saw many of the passers-by with smoke emitted from the room palace Home then entered in the box the main tower of the palace, after the afternoon glare fire was soon extinguished alone without works on a switch it off.
Why?
This remains an open question when he heard about all of the Baron Palace and rumors that spread around him .. Why this building in particular? Maybe life was unfortunate Baron is one of the main reasons that increased the stories of the lives that people circulating for a hundred years.
He was born Baron "Empain" Barj apparent in his feet that in addition to being a patient with epilepsy, and were often haunted by seizures is located in the garden of his palace and shines the sun and his dog standing next to him to wake up, Valparon to excessive stringency could not one of the servants to approach him, but his command , even if it was lying on the ground unconscious. But this is regarding Baron, what about the palace?
Enchanted Chamber
The reason for the mystery that surrounds the house there in the palace room campus, "Baron Empain" entry up on his daughter and his sister Baroness "Helena," a room pink Bpedrom palace, and this room opens its doors at the entrance to the basement long extended to the Church of the basilica, which was buried by Baron after his death.
Sister Baron
Of the reasons that have led to increased uncertainty is killing the sister of "Baron" -alparona "Helena" - after falling from the balcony of her room Interior and whenever he goes Baron tower palace to the south, and stopped the base for rotation at that moment after Hebb Baron to explore the cries of his sister, and this was is the first spark of the ghost stories that come out of the room, the sister of Baron to his room personal.
Which made the folk tales suggest that the spirit of the Baroness "Helena" Schtt delayed Baron in salvaged, which is what the holidays gears revolving turret rotation, which has not turned since then until the death of Baron himself in 1928.
As was -hsp rumors Oadha- hear different voices, some quarrel, some screaming for Baron and his sister, who had already died and were buried her body somewhere in the desert of Heliopolis, and since then the people of Heliopolis district veterans believe that Baron "Empain" had succeeded after the death of his sister in the preparation of spirit to apologize for the lack of initiative quickly rescued after falling from her room and perhaps not to accept the spirit of his sister is the one who introduced the apology stage depression eventually led to his death.
For the price of ambiguity
During the past thirty years has increased the concerns of many of the adventurers building of the palace, and some of them would have preferred to stay barbecues higher his sign was going someday, so associated with the biography of the palace -gar any other building in Cairo, much of the circumstances which added around him the aura of excitement and mystery and perhaps this what explains the emergence of more than one book on the market deals with the "ghost story mansion, which was owned by Baron Empain" ..
It also explains the continuous attempts of foreign technical production companies to display large amounts of money for access to him and shoot some scenes of her films at home ..
The most exciting, most requested foreign companies were filmed inside the palace scenes of horror films is very much like "Count Dracula" and "Vampire" which refers to the story of the "Palace of
terror" is not limited to only the Egyptians but extended to the whole world
