The Savoy Hotel, Mussoorie, Uttarakhand

The Savoy is an early-1900s Gothic-style hotel in Mussoorie, Uttarakhand, famous for the unsolved 1911 poisoning death of spiritualist guest Frances Garnett-Orme — a case widely cited as an inspiration for Agatha Christie's first novel. Folklore holds that her spirit lingers, with occasional reports of an uneasy presence; these are reported accounts, not verified phenomena. Recorded by PRN as a reported/folkloric case — historical context, not proof.
