Image: AI-generated (Midjourney) Del Toro is certainly no stranger to directing movies with supernatural elements, having worked on such hits as The Shape of Water and Pan's Labyrinth, among others.

His latest project - a new adaptation of Mary Shelley's classic Frankenstein - is also consistent with this theme.

While working on the new film in Scotland, Del Toro recently made a series of posts on social media claiming that the hotel room he is sleeping in might have its own connection to the supernatural.

"Whilst in Aberdeen, I am staying in an old 1800s hotel," he wrote.

"I am in the most haunted room of it - which was vacated this morning by one of our producers.""Odd electrical and physical occurrences scared her into leaving asap. "

"Stay tuned - if anything happens I will report."

A couple of days later, he followed this up with another post.

"Nothing has happened yet, but the atmosphere in the room is oppressive and I am not gonna spend much more time there," he wrote.

"It may be suggestion, but at this point I kept it but am sleeping in another room - I need 6 hours of sleep to have a good shooting day - I'm stopping there early and late in the day - but something is in that room with me... "

"If anything happens or nothing does expect one or two more updates."

UPDATE-. I can only say:. Nothingbhas happened yet, but the atmosphere in the room is opressive and I am not gonna spend much more time there. It may be suggestion, but at this point I kept it but am sleeping in another room- I need 6 hours of sleep to have a good shooting day-...
