The Haunted Hotel

It started off all fine and well, We had a weekend away booked at a luxurious hotel out in the countryside. This was a very old fancy sort of place, one which we wouldn’t usually go to but as it was our anniversary we were treating ourselves.

​

The drive to the hotel seemed to take forever. We had been driving for hours and were looking forward to a warm bed and a good night's sleep when we arrived. But as soon as we checked in and got to our room, We knew that something was off. The air was thick with the smell of mildew, and there was a strange chill in the air. We just thought it was due to it being a old building and shrugged it off and went to bed, We were both woken in the middle of the night by strange noises. It sounded like someone was walking around the room and tapping on the walls, but when we turned on the lights, the room was completely empty there was no one to be seen.

​

The next day, we mentioned the strange occurrences and what had happened to the hotel staff, but we were met with shrugs and assurances that the hotel was not haunted. It felt like they were trying to convince themselves more than convince us But as the night went on, the strange occurrences continued. I woke up and Sarah was gone, only to find her sitting on the edge of the bed, staring blankly ahead. I tapped her on the shoulder and she jolted up saying she saw a ghostly figure in the standing in the room.

​

The next night was way to much, we just couldn't take it anymore and so we decided to leave the hotel in the middle of the night. As we were packing our bags, we saw a figure standing in the doorway, it was a young woman dressed in a white nightgown. Her eyes were blank and her skin was pale. She opened her mouth, as if to shout something, but no words came out. The lights flickered and as they came back on she was gone. We didnt stay around to see if she would return, we left as quickly as we could.

 

We haven’t stayed in a hotel since.
