1. The Imposter: A Bone-Chilling Tale of Deception on a Business Trip
Brace yourself for a bone-chilling tale! A business traveler's mother recently encountered a spine-tingling incident while on a trip. As luck would have it, she sat next to a fellow businessman on the plane, and they had a friendly chat, even swapping business cards. However, things turned sinister later that evening when she received a call from the front desk claiming that her husband had arrived and requested a key to her room. The only problem? Her husband wasn't there. It soon became clear that the man she met on the plane was impersonating her husband to gain access to her room.
2. Bizarre B&B: The Eerie Experience of a Scottish Adventurer
An adventurer had an eerie experience at a Scottish B&B owned by a peculiar couple. While the rooms were gorgeous, guests were warned not to touch anything and were subject to random checks by the woman who accused them of illegally using the internet. To add insult to injury, guests were charged extra fees upon checkout.
3. Deadly Fumigation: A Hair-raising Hotel Horror Story From Burma
Are you ready for a hair-raising story? A tourist in Yangon, Burma, found a hotel offering a steal of a deal, but they didn't know that several floors were being fumigated for bugs. After a sleepless night, the traveler and some German guests discovered that two people on their floor had died from the fumes! The incident left the traveler feeling uneasy about how easily they could have suffered the same fate.
4. The Shining Surprise: An Unforgettable Hotel Horror Experience
During a family vacation, an intrepid voyager and their brother watched The Shining for the first time, and little did they know, they were in for an unexpected surprise. At 1 am, someone started trying to open their hotel room door, even banging on it despite no one else having access to their room keys. It turned out that the hotel desk clerk had entered the wrong room for the keycards, but the experience left the traveler with an unforgettable impression. It's safe to say this is not your average hotel horror story.
5. Naked and Afraid: The Mysterious Call in a Beijing Hotel Room
Back in 1996, the commenter was air-drying in their Beijing hotel room, naked and with the curtains drawn, when they received an unexpected call demanding that they put on clothes! Who could be watching them? The identity of the mysterious caller remains unknown to this day, but one thing's for sure: this story will send shivers down your spine.
6. Beauty and the Unsettling: When a Fancy B&B Turns Into a Haunting House
Oh, the fancy B&B that turned into a haunting house! The user states that they and a friend stayed at a fancy B&B for the night, and while the owner was lovely, they found her behavior unsettling. The owner would appear out of nowhere, even in a large room with only one doorway, and seemed to know things they hadn't told her. The user and their friend were also disturbed by someone attempting to open their door at night. Although they enjoyed the building's beauty and the owner's kindness, they were relieved to check out the following day.
7. Shower Surprise: The Crappy Situation That No One Wants To Relive
The ultimate shower surprise always appears when you think you've seen everything! Another traveler had an experience in Germany and Belgium that left them gagging for days. On two separate occasions, they found a “gift” in their shower – a turd, to be exact. They couldn't fathom how it got there, especially since they were the only ones with access to the room. Was it a sick prank? Or did they have an unwanted roommate? Regardless, it was a crappy situation they never wanted to relive.
8. A Lesson in Stranger Danger: A Chilling Encounter in a Rome Pool
A dip in the pool turns into a lesson on stranger danger for this individual in Rome. At just 12 years old, they encountered a man with no personal space concept. The man kept tickling their feet and legs, despite repeated requests to stop. Thankfully, their mother came to the rescue and put an end to it. It's a chilling reminder that not everyone can be trusted, and vigilance is essential, even on vacation.
9. Creepy Crawlies: Surviving an Army of Spiders and Scorpions
A trip to San Juan Del Sur became a survival challenge for another user, thanks to an army of creepy crawlies. From massive spiders to venomous scorpions, they encountered them all. Even their bed needed to be safer, with some uninvited guests joining them for the night. But the real horror came when they felt something crawling on their neck, only to realize it was a scorpion. It's good that they were quick on their feet, squashed it, and got back to drinking.
10. Arachnophobia: Trapped With Hundreds of Spiders in a Nightmare Hotel
The final user found themselves in a nightmare situation, surrounded by hundreds of big spiders crawling all over the walls and ceiling. The bed had a mosquito net with more holes than fabric, and there was no running water or electricity to wash away the terror. They spent the night wrapped up like a mummy, using every piece of clothing to shield themselves from the eight-legged invaders. It was a sleepless night they never wanted to repeat, but at least they had a story to tell.
