A Haunted Encounter In A Hotel Room, Delhi, India.

It didn’t seem like a spooky hotel when I entered and checked in. The hotel was in the heart of Delhi city. It was a hustling bustling locality as the festival of Diwali was approaching soon. There was a restaurant adjoining the entrance of the hotel and a lot of families were enjoying an early dinner.

It was newly renovated and smelled of fresh paint. My room was clean. Some light fixtures still needed to be installed but it was well lit. My first impression was that it was alright.

On the wall, there was a large, cream colored wall clock. Opposite the dressing table was a writing desk with a chair. There was a tube light illuminating the room and two wall mounted lights on either sides of the bed. The bathroom was at the entrance of the room. I usually leave the bathroom light on and with the door slightly open, incase I need to go in the middle of the night. No one enjoys tripping in their sleep, especially in an unfamiliar setting. Around eleven pm, I decided to call in for the night and switched off the lights. The dinner was very filling and the soft bed didn’t take long to put me in a deep slumber.

I felt something queer in my sleep… More
