The Lake Bodom murders is one of the most infamous unsolved homicide cases in Finnish criminal history.
On 5 June 1960, at Bodom Lake, 15-year-old girls Maila Irmeli Björklund and Anja Tuulikki Mäki and 18-year-old man Seppo Antero Boisman were killed by stabbing and blunt-force trauma to their heads, while sleeping inside a tent. The fourth youth, Nils Gustafsson, then 18 years old, was found outside the tent with broken facial bones and stab wounds.
Despite extensive investigations, the perpetrator was never identified and various theories on the killer’s identity have been presented over the years. Gustafsson was unexpectedly arrested on suspicion of committing the murders in 2004, but he was found not guilty the following year.

By far the most famous story of Olavinlinna is the tragic love story of the Finnish maiden.
The daughter of the castle’s Lord was in love with a Russian soldier and one night she opened the castle gate to let him in. But she was betrayed by her lover when he brought more soldiers with him. The Russian forces were fought off and the traitorous lover was killed in the attack. The maiden was sentenced to death for treason and buried alive in the wall of the courtyard.
Shortly afterwards a rowan tree grew on the burial spot and the white flowers which bloomed on the tree were said to be symbolic of the girl’s innocence.

A few years after the hotel’s grand opening, a maid called Linda fell head over heels in love with a German soldier who served Kaiser Wilhelm II.
Because there’s no tragedy without a love triangle, Linda’s lover was of course, already committed to another. After asking his wife for a divorce and being refused (the shame!), he killed himself. Then Linda, upon learning her lover’s fate, drowned herself.
Fast forward several hundred years and Linda still hasn’t gotten over her grief. She can be heard sobbing inconsolably in the Blue Room from time to time.
