Most Popular Haunted Real Life Story
I regrettably used to work at a hotel in our town. Our town had been hit by a hurricane a few months ago, and a lot of houses were badly damaged, so a lot of people vacated the place. The hotel is about a minute walk from my house. I'll leave out of this, as I really just don't want anything traced back to me. The hotel was a very standard bed and breakfast type place. You know where they serve wet scrambled eggs, frozen sausages, and assorted cereals. The hotel had a busy month after the hurricane as some people were out of their houses due to damages, but after a while things quieted down. If anything quieter than before the hurricane, I always worked nights from p.m. to a.m., then someone would relieve me at a.m. and they'd work till a.m. I could always see how many people were checked into the hotel, and at the time it was only maybe a few rooms which wasn't a lot at all. I could go the whole night sometimes without seeing anyone. There was a back break room for employees with a coffee machine, fridge table, and a couple sofa-type chairs. The employee bathroom was also back here at night. I spent most of my time back here. There was a bell at the front desk that people would ring if they needed anything. I was in the back when I heard a deep voice from the lobby saying hello repeatedly. I got up and went through the door leading to behind the counter and saw a man on the other side of the glass. There was a glass barrier with an opening underneath about in high. He said he needed towels. I grabbed him a couple extra towels and slid them under the glass for him. He grabbed them rather aggressively and shot me this weird look.
Then I walked to the hallway of the room. I stayed in the lobby now sitting in the rolling chair by the monitors and I just watched that man on the camera walk down the hallway he was looking around weirdly then he started rubbing the towels on his face I said out loud what in the world then he got in the elevator so I went back to the break room it was maybe minutes later when I heard a voice again from the lobby it was the same voice I walked back out and that man was standing on the other side again he said very loudly my key card is broken I asked what his room number was he said it was something random like C something with a letter in it our hotel room strictly had numbers no letters so I knew this man was lying I told him sir our rooms don't have letters are you sure you're staying here his reaction was not something I was expecting nor was it something I wish I ever had to be victim to he threw the towels on the floor started smiling slightly tilting his head as he got closer to the glass when his face was practically pressed up on the glass he said I'm going to K kill you still with a smile on his face then he said i again louder and again each time he said it it got louder until it was almost a scream I screamed back at him I'm calling the police and I did I picked up the phone and showed him as I dialed he kept his disturbing Smile as he now started mocking me, calling the police. As I spoke to the dispatcher on the phone, explaining very loudly what was happening in front of my face, the sick man laughed and headed for the door in a slow walk. I told the dispatcher he was leaving, and when he was gone through the doors and out of sight, I said he was gone. She asked me if I still wanted an officer to show up, and I said no, it's all right. So the next couple hours of my shift went slow. I decided, for obvious reasons, to hang around in the lobby. Now instead of the break room, there was one guest who checked in during this time at around a.m. My relief came. I clocked out and was free to go home. I walked outside to the parking lot. It was cold out. I remember wishing I had brought my coat. I walked with my hands in the pockets of my light jacket and my hood up. Then I heard a voice in the parking lot. I turned around there was a line of bushes that covered the first floor Windows of the hotel it came from the bushes I don't know what the voice said I didn't care I walked faster now once I got out of the parking lot I was on a main road for a brief minute but there were no cars on the road in this quiet town at this hour after a minute I turned left down a residential street that would eventually turn onto my block it was dead silent out not even the sound of any distant traffic just the sound of my shoes hitting the pavement and then the sound of someone else's shoes hitting the pavement behind me only it was the sound of someone running as if on their tiptoes trying to be quiet by the time I turned around they stopped there was a car right behind me and I almost knew that there was someone hiding behind it I heard laughing and then a familiar voice saying quietly I'm going to kill you without even seeing him I knew it was that man I looked around planning out my next move I couldn't outrun a man let alone wearing my work shoes I looked at the nearest house it had an upstairs light on someone was awake I would go run and ring the doorbell for help I looked back at the car and I saw him that man peeking his eyes out from behind the car as he inched around it to the front when he got to the hood the rest of his face and upper body were exposed and I could see his disgusting crazy smile again I ran for the house screaming help me I made it to the front door and rang the bell at least three times and that's when the man grabbed me and started choking me whispering in my ear die in that moment I thought my life was flashing before my eyes and then an angel in the form of a man opened the front door to the house and screamed hey at the man choking me the man's grip was released from my neck and I fell to the floor I never turned to watch the man run away but the man from the house helped me up and brought me inside he gave me water and called the police for me and I explained the whole story to the police they collected the CCTV footage of the man from the hotel and put feelers out to track him I was called into the police station when they did a lineup of people who looked similar to the man on the CCTV footage and I was asked to point out which man I thought was him I looked at all five of them for like minutes and I ultimately said it wasn't any of them I don't know if the pressure and nerves got to me but in the moment I truly didn't recognize him to be in that lineup I hope to this day I didn't make a mistake and let that man roam free
