30 Horrifying Hotel Stories That Make ‘The Shining’ Look Like Child’s Play

26. My bed shook for no apparent reason

This happened to me as a guest at a hotel – the Radisson in Gastown, the old part of Vancouver.

The first thing was that we both saw a figure walk past the window late at night. Only thing was, our room was on about the fourth floor and faced a wall. There was no fire escape outside or anything else someone could walk on.

A couple of nights later, my bed suddenly gave a massive jolt. I was laying still, updating LJ on my laptop. My friend also saw the bed move. It was a divan, no legs to wobble or collapse. It just felt like the whole bed had been shunted hard.

We asked the desk staff whether anyone had reported anything, and they said there were stories about some of the rooms but as far as they were aware, not ours.

27. He saw a clone of his wife

So yeah, not me but my uncle. Here goes.

My uncle just got married, in his 40’s his first marriage (and only so far). For their honey moon he, his wife and her daughter (Special needs child, she’s awesome) went to stay in a cabin on Big Bear mountain in SoCal.

They rented the cabin, unpacked all their shit and settled in for a 3 day stay. On the last night my uncle was up watching TV very late at night. His wife and step daughter had gone to bed and he had to use the restroom. So he gets up, goes to the restroom, does his business and exits the restroom.

The only light on in the whole cabin is that from the TV in the living room but it was bright enough to light the whole living room, and part of the hallway.

As he opened the door to the restroom he saw his wife walk down towards the kitchen, he figured she’d gotten up and was hungry so he was gonna go talk with her. He followed after her and when she reached the end of the hallway she turned slightly in the direction of the kitchen and then at warp speed walked/ran/vaulted into the kitchen.. Faster than a human could move. This figure was wearing a long flowing white gown similar to the one his wife had worn to bed and she had slightly longer than shoulder length hair.

Kinda wigged out he took a few steps back and peaked into the room where his wife and stepdaughter were asleep and found both of them in bed, asleep.

Needless to say he couldn’t sleep after that and they left the next morning. He called up the guy that he had rented the cabin from and said “Hey, you didn’t tell me the cabin was haunted!” and the guy said “Oh, you saw her” he said “her“, though my uncle hadn’t specified what he had seen, proving that he knew a whacked out speedster she-ghost was in fact haunting the cabin.
