Agent 47's globe-trotting career has seen him travel to countless exotic locations to eliminate an array of high-profile targets. By the time of his third outing in 2004’s Hitman: Contracts, the suave assassin had already visited the likes of Hong Kong, Columbia, Russia, Malaysia, and Japan. One place 47 probably didn’t expect to visit, though, was a haunted hotel.

While infiltrating the prestigious Thermal Bath Hotel during the mission Traditions Of The Trade, 47 is tasked with taking out an Austrian terrorist and retrieving the chemical bomb that they plan to use.

When looking around the hotel, players can discover that an area has been closed due to “a terrible accident”.

If you choose to enter this poorly guarded area by picking the lock, you’ll eventually stumble upon a bloody bathroom where this accident looks to have happened. And if you peek in the mirror, you’ll see the apparition of a ghostly figure standing in the blood-spattered bath behind you.

But even this spirit is no match for 47. If you shoot the area where the ghost stands, you’ll kill them and earn yourself an achievement in the process. You can even drag his already lifeless body around with you.
