Random Creepiest Things People Seen In Hotel Rooms (24 items)

• (#17) A Sad Tale

  From Redditor /u/RuskiLeader:

  I worked at a hotel for about a year. It was usually pretty good. Some people would stay at the hotel for weeks or a month at a time for business reasons. But there was this one old lady that had been there even before I started working, that just stayed in her room all day, occasionally leaving to go down the hill and pick berries or something along the street. Maybe get food or other supplies. Idk. She really wasn't a problem other than not letting people into her room. 

  About January of 2015, she started acting weird. Like yelling at people walking by her room, calling down to the front desk and being angry about things that had never happened. This goes on for about a week and then she just goes off the deep end. She starts standing outside of her room, yelling at people that entered her sight, no matter how far away they were. She would call down to the front desk, but now she would say eerily creepy things like, "You shouldn't have done that. You'll be sorry for that. I can find you." And then she'd hang up. 

  Eventually, after about two weeks, we forcibly ejected her after her credit card declined. She threw a fit and had to be removed off the premises by her son. Let me tell you, going into that room was like entering hell. Stains all over the carpet, blood and feces spread across the walls in the bathroom, blood on the mattresses, empty cans everywhere, jarred foods that stank to high heaven, boxes sealed shut, some with black ooze dripping out of them. Light bulbs stacked in the corner, all in perfect condition but not used in the lights. It was horrible. 

  Found out she went off the deep end because she had been denied her pills for some kind of mental thing.

   
• (#5) Overdose At The Bar

  From Redditor /u/ArtyTheAntelope:

  Hotel bartender here. Started a few months ago at a more upscale place. It was a quiet evening and a distraught-looking guy came to the bar and ordered a shot and a beer. I was catching some f*cked-up vibes. 

  To lighten the mood, I tried to drum up some light-hearted conversation. He tried to talk but couldn't. So I asked him if everything was alright. 

  He said no. I asked, "What's wrong. Anything I can do to help? How about a plate of some food? On the house, buddy."

  He declined, proceeded to tell me the escort he hired slit her wrists and is dead in his room's bathtub.  

  I jumped back and was like, holy sh*t, I'm calling 911. After calling 911, I ran back to the bar to find the man slumped on the bar, not moving. I run over to check on him, and his pulse is weak and he is pale and cold. 

  After, the police and medics arrived and cleaned up the mess. Dead [woman] and dead depressed business man. There was [a] note found in the room by another guest a few days later (yup, a few days) that said he wanted to feel a woman's touch one more time before overdosing on something that killed him at my bar. 

  F*cked up. I got a week off work to deal with it, and was shocked when I came back to find everything normal, like nothing happened.

   
• (#23) The Top Floor Ghost

  From Redditor /u/robin1961:

  The hotel I work at is an old-ish building, and likes to play up the rumors of ghosts in the hotel... in life, [someone] supposedly jumped off the roof after some bad news... okay, REALLY bad news.

  Late at night, I was sent to the top-floor conference space to set it up for meetings the following day. I needed to set up a coffee station on the center wall. The large dining room/seminar space was dark. The light panel is a ludicrous assortment of dials, switches, and power levers (it had been expanded and kludged over its 50 years). I hit/toggle them all... no lights. Drop all the levers, spin all the dials... nothing.

  Pissed off that now I have to search for someone who knows the lights, I slam the panel door, spin on my heel, and walk towards the lit exit.

  As I'm walking, three lights directly over where I was meant to set up the station fade on... I look around, say, "Thank you, ma'am," and proceed to set up the coffee station.
• (#13) A Tragic Ending

  From Redditor /u/thedoormatt9:

  Worked as a chef for a Hilton. Remember speaking with one of the managers of a different downtown hotel, very high-end, and he told me this story:  

  Manager was on his way out of the hotel after working one evening and saw a homeless guy a ways out sleeping on the lawn. He decided to walk back in and tell the front desk employees to try and get him off the property.  

  Came back in for work the next morning and saw the same homeless guy still sleeping on the lawn, so he ran in to chew out the front desk manager about how the employees didn't do as he asked. They both walked out to get the bum to leave and they found the bum was wearing a nice suit coat. 

  Turns out it was a wealthy business man who had jumped off the 12th story balcony and had just been dead there all night and half the day. Turns out no one saw him fall. Sad story actually.

   
• (#7) The Rippling Carpet

  From Redditor /u/Vicerine:

  Before I was born, my parents decided to move to the coast and open their own little seaside hotel. The first thing to [did] when they moved in was to clean all the rooms, so they took half each to speed things up. My mum told me this story when I was little:

  She was in room #8 doing some vacuuming when the whole carpet started "rippling." When I was little, I didn't think this sounded scary at all, as I just thought that maybe the carpet had got caught on the vacuum or something, and so I never really thought about it again.

  Fast-forward to about a month ago: I remembered this old story and made fun of my mum a bit for thinking it was creepy, when it was obviously explainable. She looked confused and told me I must have not understood her when I was little.

  Apparently, what had actually happened was that the entire carpet had rippled in a constant fluid wave-type motion, and all the furniture AND HERSELF had been lifted up and down off of the floor for about 10 seconds. She then screamed bloody murder at my dad down the hallway and told him they were selling the place before it had even opened. He managed to convince her otherwise, but she never went back in that room. 

  It scares me more because my mum doesn't believe in the supernatural or anything like that, and she doesn't have any other creepy stories at all, just this one that she doesn't like to talk about often.

   
• (#18) Creatures Of The Pool

  From Redditor /u/CDC_:

  I worked at a hotel in Florida, a fairly upscale place. One day after a particularly bad string of thunderstorms, I went to clean the pool. They had an actual pool guy they called from time to time, but only when the pool was really bad. When I first looked at the pool, I brought the manager outside and told him I felt like it was out of my scope. The pool was covered in debris. Leaves, plants, mulch, dirt, etc. 

  He told me he thought I could handle it, though, so I was like, whatever, guess I'm scooping this thing out with a net all day. So I start scooping, probably had been scooping for an hour or so, when this girl comes to the pool and asks if its swimmable. I ask her if she really wants to swim in that, she just kind of shrugged, and decided to lie down in a sun chair until I finished scooping the pool out.  

  We started making small talk, and finally she said she just wanted to dip her legs in. She does so and after about 10-15 seconds, I notice some weird-looking things swimming around in the pool, and they're coming RIGHT FOR HER FEET. I scream "YO GET UP... GET OUT... GET OUT NOW." 

  She looks at me like I'm crazy, but gets out. I point and she looks down and about... oh... 10-12 of these giant cockroaches are now gathering near the wall where she was soaking her feet. She freaked out and ran off, and I assume went back to her room and had a nervous breakdown. 

  I went and got the manager, told him to either call the pool guy, or do it himself, because I wasn't working with these monsters.  

  He actually opened one of the pool filters and came across about 15 or so MORE of them in the filter. It was a sight you don't really unsee.
