The Hotel I Worked At Was Haunted | Best Scary Story Of 2020

Mortise media [Music] good evening all and welcome tonight for your listening pleasure i have one of my favorite all-time scary stories the whitmore hotel series in one convenient video it truly is an epic story so make sure you stick around to the end as it is brilliant we also have Eight other youtubers featuring in this video let's see if you can spot them all but for now i think the receptionist has your key ready enjoy your stay at the whitmore hotel and let the darkness take control the hotel i worked at was haunted let me

start off by saying the reason i stayed employed so long even after the first weird thing That happened was because the job paid well over minimum wage and it was about a 10 minute drive from my house so before any of you ask that is why i didn't up and quit i worked at a large hotel in a medium-sized city in the midwest where isn't important i got the job right out of high school and it was perfect for me good pay Close to home easy as hell and i did my research on the hotel

it wasn't built on any ancient burial grounds and from what i could tell no one had ever died there i didn't experience anything remotely weird until the third floor renovation started i had kind of a jack-of-all-trades position at the hotel meaning i did a lot of different things I cleaned rooms worked the front desk delivered room service orders sometimes even did lifeguard duty at the pool once all the creepy stuff started happening it happened all over and me being in the position i was in saw more than any other employee did believe what you want

but the events i am about to recount Were all too real for me i wish i were just being creative i got on my night shift at around 8 pm on a tuesday meaning that it was in the middle of the week we had about half of our regular occupancy by no means an empty hotel but just generally less hustle was needed than say a friday or saturday night the first few hours of my shift went as they normally did i checked for Any incoming reservations due to arrive that night of which there were two

the kitchen closed at 10 so i only had to run up one room service order which i ended up getting a 10 tip for so that was nice i was getting ready to settle in at the front desk when the phone rang i looked and noticed it was from a run our new phone system had a digital Display showing us which room was calling and this call said it was coming from room 323 immediately i was suspicious as remodeling had started on the third floor about two weeks prior i answered the phone front desk this

is nick speaking how may i help you there was a cough on the other end i repeated myself oh oh sorry how are you I'm doing fine and yourself well not too good actually i'm sorry to hear that is there anything in particular i can help you with i'm not sure maybe my regular script i followed had made me forget where the call was coming from i finally inquired can i ask where you're calling from mom i'm in room 323 and you're right i need help i had never suggested she needed help But okay mom

room 323 is currently unavailable due to the third floor renovation are you sure that's where you are what's your name i need help nick right now i don't think i was supposed to come up here now i got it she had wandered up to the third floor and somehow gotten lost how she could do that is beyond me the signs are everywhere She went into room 323 and used the phone to call okay what's wrong and what's your name miss i asked i can't get out the door won't open it needs to open confused and

slightly irritated by her not answering my questions i cut to the chase your name miss marion one moment please i said already halfway through my check into the current occupants list in the Computer system no marion kennedy okay miss kennedy i'm not finding you here are you here with someone else who your room may be under and which room were you in initially i need help please come to room 323 and help me please miss ken is all i managed to get out before the line clicked and i realized i'd been hung up on What

the hell i muttered to myself i said to be back in five sign on the front counter and made my way up to the third floor i reached the hallway at room 323 saturn and as soon as i crossed the threshold into it i was overcome with a feeling of panic the hair stood up on my neck as they say now apprehensive to move forward i looked around me there was equipment and materials strong About and a large sheet of plastic covering most of the wall and doors on the left hand side i could hear

the faint sound of music coming from down the hall room 323 would be somewhere in the middle i slowly made my way down the hall illuminated by only two light bulbs at each end darkness meeting at the center of the Hallway as i got closer the music got louder it was 1920s star music like it was being played on a phonograph as i got closer to the darkness i noticed a red light emanating from under one of the doors i'm sure you can guess which one i stood in front of room 323 essentially shaking due

to the sense of uneasiness i had i listened closely trying to hear over The music for anything else miss kennedy i choked out from my dry throat no response just as i was about to turn around and get away i heard a voice from the other side come on the calmness in his voice proved soothing and i became ever so slightly more comfortable with the situation miss kennedy called down to the front desk saying she needed help with Something she's in the bathroom right now why don't you come on in here and we'll get to

the bottom of it come on in boy we don't bite he kept on chuckling as i used my master key to unlock the electric lock i turned the knob slowly still scared half to death as i inched the door open his chuckle turned into a full-blown maniacal laugh as the red light from the room began to Flood into the darkness suddenly the laughing and the music stopped as if it had all been one noise and abruptly cut off i will never forget the small moment of silence i stood in it enveloped me in fear i

stood there motionless until i heard a faint whisper from not one but two voices just a little bit further that was it i sprinted full speed down the hallway Back the way i came ran down the stairs and back to the front desk i immediately called the police they got there and went up to check room 323 and found nothing but the renovation equipment related to the work being done in the room at the time no music player no people and nothing that could have given off a red glow on top of that there was

no evidence That anyone had been in there workers included in quite a while as evident by a buildup of dust and if it wasn't enough there was no phone in the room they said to call back if i had any more trouble and i apologized for wasting their time they were cool cops though told me their job was my safety and reiterated to call them back if anything else Strange occurred i walked them out of the front doors of the hotel and walked back to the front desk on it was a return envelope for room

keys people give back at checkout marked three two three on the back of the envelope was a short survey they marked one paw for each line and included a short note on the provided lines below maybe next time [Music] sometime elapsed there were some minor happenings now and then but i recall the next big event happened on a saturday night i remember this distinctly because of the amount of incoming and outgoing guests we see on this particular night of the week is directly related to what happened me and another employee were working the front desk

Taking the incoming reservations there were people about the lobby chatting either coming back from or on their way out to the next bar it was about 1am so people realized they had an hour to do their livers as much damage as possible until they returned to the hotel for the night i don't blame them going elsewhere to drink since our bar is woefully overpriced Even so our bar was at about 75 capacity anyway i got done with my guests at the desk and noticed there was no longer anyone waiting as my co-worker had just started

taking care of another guest i walked to the room behind the front desk to get something to drink and check my phone out of the line of sight of the guests lingering in the lobby we played music which is broadcast Through speakers throughout the hotel including the room i was in it comes from a playlist on a computer whose only purpose is to fill the hallway and lobby with elevator music being that it came from the computer i was slightly taken aback when static came through the speakers i listened for a moment as a hint

of white noise hissed through the speakers then completely cut off i checked the computer which was working just fine And showed the current song playing as it should be so i checked the chord which led to the receiver who was fine there i decided the problem was out of my control and ventured to return to the front desk but as i opened the door a sudden wave of deafening silence flooded over me it actually startled me i opened the door all the way And stopped dead in my tracks i had been in the room for

no longer than 20 seconds and apparently in that time each and every of the 20 plus people in the lobby including my co-worker had vanished i felt a drip of cold sweat run down my back i gazed across the lobby to the bar only to find it deserted as well all i could hear during this time was the Sound of my own beating heart there had to be some kind of rational explanation for this i ventured out into the lobby each step echoing through the high ceilings i knocked on a random room door and got

no response another no response i checked the second floor as well i heard a door creak at the end of the hallway and i assumed it was open as i didn't Hear it close so i trudged down to the end of the hall and as i got there the door to room 202 clicked shut i politely knocked on the door and got no response i pounded on the door harder and yelled hello finally i used my master key to unlock the door and burst in in hindsight probably not the smartest idea considering i had no

idea what awaited me on the other side I was met by nothing the same ear-shattering silence as before continued to plague me i checked the main room and the bathroom and found no one i exited the room struggling to make sense of what was going on around me then that horrible silence was broken by the familiar ding of the elevators i looked up and to my right at the numbers above the door which told me that this particular Elevator trip had originated on the floor above me it was coming down and once i noticed it

go past the second floor i rushed down to try and meet whoever it was to see if they had any idea of what the hell was going on i made it to the first floor and waited a cautious distance from the elevator for what felt like an eternity i nervously tapped my feet on the ground then the elevator door opened There was nothing no one was inside the elevator this thoroughly scared the bejesus out of me and i ran to the room behind the front desk i gathered my belongings as quickly as i could and

prepared to leave the hotel i felt disoriented from the sheer silence that filled the walls so i desperately did not want to be trapped in As soon as i turned the door handle to exit the room a cascade of noise hit me like a ton of bricks the music the chatter of patrons in the lobby my co-worker's voice informing the guests he was with about our breakfast hours everything was back to normal it was as if what had just happened hadn't happened at all I stood there frozen until my co-worker turned to me you okay

i couldn't bring myself to speak are you leaving or something noticing my coat on my arm his tone told me he was on the brink of annoyance pending my answer to his question i snapped out of it uh no i just i i offered no real explanation before i turned around and went back Into the room set my coat down and took a deep breath and walked out again i noticed a new guest had just entered the queue behind the ones my co-worker was currently assisting i pressed my shirt down stepped up to the computer

and said welcome i'm nick what can i do for you [Music] at this point in my tenure at the Whitmore hotel i was very cautious nothing directly dangerous had happened to me yet so i had no reason to believe i was in any danger i've always been a believer in the paranormal so the fact that there were strange things happening didn't necessarily cause a deep-rooted worry in me so much as it caused some definite standalone frights If assistance was needed on the third floor i generally handed off the responsibility to one of my co-workers without

explaining why no one else had ever had any bad experiences up there so they didn't question it too much aside from assuming i was being lazy but sure enough something happened when i was alone on night shift and i got a call from the third floor it was a wednesday night at 2 am i was Sitting back relaxing behind the front desk when a call came in room 325. i answered the phone while simultaneously checking the computer to make sure someone was in fact staying in that particular room that night or checked out the man

asked for more towels to be left outside his door i said the voicemail message stating i would be back in 10 minutes or less And set out a sign saying the same thing i went to the storage area and grabbed a handful of towels i made my way up to the third floor and knew exactly where room 325 was considering its close proximity to the room that had been ever present in nightmare's past i apprehensively strolled down the hall which although now properly lit still gave me A feeling of uneasiness nonetheless i set the towels

on the floor knocked twice on the door and made my way back down the hall i turned around for whatever reason and the towels were gone no door opening and closing nothing i chalked it up to me not hearing it and went about my night about five minutes after i got back to the desk I got another call this time it was the dreaded room 323 i let it ring because i knew for a fact no one was in that room tonight the phone never went to voicemail but it must have rung 30 times before

a sickening mix of anxiety and curiosity got the best of me and i answered the phone i didn't say anything since it sounded like a normal voice and nothing otherworldly As i had convinced myself it would i entertained the notion that this might be something rationally explainable hi this is nick at the front desk how may i yes sir i dropped more towels outside of room three to five just a few minutes ago the line clicked indicating i'd just been hung up on this call more confused me than frightened me so many questions were raised

did the Previous call really come from three two three and i just absentmindedly didn't notice who grabbed the towels from three two five he implied he'd got them from in front of three to five but i knew in the time i left them there and looked back he couldn't have gotten them from in front of the door and back without me at least hearing one step much less the door opening and closing I checked the computer log for room 323 and it showed the room was empty i was once again on high alert i resolved

to leave the towers outside room 325 again so i didn't have to stand in front of 323 for even a split second i would deal with the potentially angry guest again if need be i made my way to the third floor and as i walked down nothing was amiss i Set the abundance of towels down in front of room 325 and the moment they touched the carpet the lights went out not all of them mind you just every light between the lights at either end of the hall i was frozen in panic a million situations

raced through my mind before i snapped out of it as i turned to run every light in the hallway swirled to an impossible Brightness in a blinding flash that left me disoriented all i really recall is that i ran backwards down the hall wary of whatever might exit room 323 to devour me or whatever would happen one thing sticks out in my mind though and that was that the towels were already gone i sprinted back to the front desk where Luckily there was a walking guest who made casual conversation and took my mind off things

it was only for a few minutes once they were on their way to their room i snapped back to it i don't know what happened at that point but something clicked in my mind i hastily rammed my fingers along the clanking keyboard and checked the room log for three two Five it was being occupied by a mario kennedy the name stuck out to me like a sore thumb before i could figure out what to do with the information the phone rang luckily it was from room 225 so i wouldn't have to make my way back

up to the damned third floor hallway unfortunately they were complaining about a strange noise coming from above them I told them i would call the room and ask them to keep it down i figured i can't be harmed through a phone call right i dialed room 325 and was met with an answer before the first ring even began it was a woman hello yeah hi this is the front desk the guests in the room below you just called to complain about a strange noise coming from above them which would be your room this is just

a Courtesy call to please ask you to resolve whatever is causing the excess noise oh of course her voice i knew i'd heard it before thank is all i managed to mutter before the line clicked these people really didn't like saying goodbye the next hour or so went by without incident i got up to go to the bathroom and when I came back there were two guest checkout envelopes one from the room 323 and the other from three to five neither had any comment written down but every critique had been marked as full satisfactory i

wrestled with the idea of going up to see if it looked as if no one had been in the rooms for what felt like an eternity before something inside me said it was Safe i ventured my way up making sure all the lights were on first i got to room 325 still unsure if i had the guts to go into 3-2-3 what i was hoping for did not come true the moment i opened the door red emanated from the room but not like it did from three two three this was blood i opened the door

a few inches and all i Could see was red all over everything that was enough for me i sprinted back to the desk and immediately called the police they arrived and went up to 325 they checked it and surprise surprise they found nothing then they checked 323 and found the vast number of towels in the bathtub soaking wet finally some evidence that there had been Someone there they checked the camera footage but it never showed me taking up the towels in the first place i once again apologized which was met with positive reactions from the

once again understanding police i sat back down at the computer where i had just tried to show the police the mario kennedy reservation which of course wasn't there i moved the mouse From the screensaver and there it was a picture of room 325 covered in blood in the corner of the room stood a young man and woman covered head to toe in blood all i could discern from the flood of red around them was their impossibly bright eyes and teeth they had hideous grins on their faces i quickly closed the horrifying picture i looked up

from the desk to find the Two of them standing there covered in blood grinning and breathing heavily i blacked out next thing i know i was being cared for by emts i asked what happened and one of the police officers said he was walking back to get my signature on the statement i had just made and that i was frozen at the front desk for about 10 seconds and then fainted i have no recollection Of that whatsoever this was the first instance that truly rattled me to my call i was hesitant to keep working there

so i compromised i took a week vacation during which time not one strange thing happened to me i figured i was getting stressed from working so many night shifts with some day shifts thrown in there as If to make for certain i wouldn't get a proper amount of sleep i did however spend this week digging much deeper into the whitmore hotel than i did the beginning of my employment some of you may want to know what happened on the third floor before the renovations were finished so i'll briefly outline the occurrences i took the stairs

one day and since nothing had happened in recent memory i decided to see the progress on The renovations i noticed they'd finished painting the walls and hung new light fixtures though no bulbs were in yet so i didn't venture down the hallway save for a few steps when i turned around the ladder that had been to my left was now stood up directly in front of the door i moved it to the side and immediately went back downstairs I remember one evening i was waiting to be done after a day shift and i had personally

said goodbye to the construction crew for the day when i was getting my things together i heard the unmistakable sound of tools one could hear the construction noises faintly from the lobby and nearby floors during the day when the crew was working you can see the main hallway on the third floor Rooms 301-317 from the lobby and one night when i was there i happened to gaze upwards and saw that every door was open no lights were on in any of the rooms so a looming darkness presented itself i blinked and each door going from

left to right like domino's slammed shut i don't know if this happened with every door on the third floor or just the ones with my sight line but It was pretty unnerving either way i would receive calls from different rooms on the third floor never three two three again and i would hear upon answering static it got to the point where i just stopped answering so there i was with more time on my hands than i'd had In quite some time as i took what i believed to be a well-deserved week-long break from the whitmore

hotel i filled my time by catching up on sleep binge watching the wire aka the greatest television drama ever created and most importantly doing some deep research on the whitmore i did some basic google searches And didn't really find anything noteworthy i pretty much got lists of celebrities or other important people who have lodged there in the past and a basic history of the hotel the whitmore hotel was built from 1930 to 1931 during the development of the entire area in which it's located the owners were actually a group of men each of whom funded

different Aspects of the project and was named after one of their associates who passed during the planning phase i did individual research on each of these men and nothing really jumped out at me they just seemed like normal opportunistic businessman when it opened it was bigger and better than any other hotel in the midwest it featured nine floors an elaborate bar off the lobby Over which hung a lavish chandelier certain changes have been made since including multiple weight rooms and a very very large indoor pool area in addition to the added amenities the rooms have

also been remodeled more than once over the past decade or so the hotel's business has slowly dwindled with chain hotels such as the holiday inn express la quinta and days in among Others sprouting up new franchise locations most of the guests now come for the fact that when they leave they get to say they've spent the night in a historic hotel somewhere multiple presidents have stayed during their time in office i personally have stayed a few nights and i might add i've never had anything strange happen when i did after reading all of this i

was pretty underwhelmed As i'm sure you are so thank you for bearing with me i stopped to watch more tv but something was bothering me i went back to research the names of the gentleman who funded the hotel and found one common theme they all got their start with a now defunct as of 1996 investment company called the kennedy conglomerate now we were getting somewhere i looked up the kennedy conglomerate And found a basic history which i won't bore you with besides the fact that it was located on the west coast what was interesting about

the kennedy conglomerate was the fact that in its last years of functioning it was run by the original owner's grandson mario kennedy researching mario kennedy gave me lots of insight to what i was dealing with Now much of what i read was second and third third-hand accounts of rumors so i don't know if what i read was true or not however if it were true it would certainly give credence to what was going on around me mario kennedy was a playboy of sorts he had all the money in the world and nothing responsible to do

with it he funded several businesses most of which failed He spent his money on drugs women alcohol cars properties which he would let go to ruin and then one day he met marion supposedly the day he met her was the day he stopped indulging in his numerous vices he gave everything up cold turkey they married the same day they met and mario and marion spent the next few weeks in the tropics without telling anyone where they went When they returned everything with the business was a mess mario did the most selfish thing he could and

liquidated the company leaving his entire staff to fend for themselves he and marion now had nothing to get in the way of their relationship this gets really interesting when i read that marion was part of what you would call a cult called the congregation of his infernal Divinity it was a religion that didn't necessarily worship satan so much as it did demons demons of all kinds this church was supposedly home to some of the younger elite in the state of california and one aspect of their modus operandi was the taking and sacrificing of the young

without going into too much detail i Will say the accounts i read were revolting again i'm taking it all with a grain of salt but let me continue mariam brought mario into this group of sick human beings and he apparently fit right in they had a ritualistic induction ceremony in which he stalked a nine-year-old took him from his home in the middle of the night and was Offered to his infernal divinity in one of the colt's temples allegedly mario rose up the ranks with his wife riding his coattails however his previously flamboyant and eccentric lifestyle

seeped back through the barriers he put up and he got sloppy word got out about the congregation of his infernal divinity and they were eventually shut down Members were arrested and tried most of whom received the death penalty all except two members mario and marion in a cross-country manhunt they were finally cornered in the state i'm in at none other than the whitmore hotel they supposedly took a child from another family staying in the hotel offered his life in that room covered the room and themselves in blood And then took their own lives in the

year 1996 it didn't say which room this allegedly happened in but i don't think it would be too hard to guess despite all this rich kennedy history there has never been one single complaint or allegation that the whitmore is or ever was haunted like i said the initial search i Did on the place when i started working there gave me nothing there were no ghost stories no spectral sightings nothing and as someone asked before no no other employees reported seeing anything strange at this point i thought i was going crazy but at the same time

the things i'd been experiencing had been so real So convincing and on top of that i've always been in sound mental health i have no history of schizophrenia or delusions of any kind i felt as if this were happening to me specifically and for a reason when i went back to the hotel the following week i decided i was going to tough it out and figure out just what the hell was happening and why it was happening to me My next experience with room 323 gave me some answers and looking back i honestly wish i

would have never found them but before that happened i went back to the whitmore for my first shift back from my vacation it was a day shift on a thursday where i was to be the lifeguard for the indoor pool area the girl who was to be the other lifeguard called in sick And the only other person who had undergone lifeguard training started his vacation the day i got back from mine we were severely understaffed so i sat in my perch and basically just hung out for the first five hours around 1pm i suddenly got

very tired out of nowhere i had gotten so much sleep the week prior that staying up for a day shift should have been nothing but fatigue hit Me like a slap in the face my eyelids felt almost as heavy as my head which were lowering by the second i suddenly jolted awake like when you fall asleep in class and pop up i look around to make sure no one saw and what i saw was burned into my brain every guest in the pool area was floating face down in the pool moving ever so Slightly by

some unknown current i observed that everybody was perfectly still no flailing or struggling to swim and on top of that some of them looked bloated as if they'd been there a while i climbed down from my perch completely taken aback of what i was witnessing had all these people drowned once i fell asleep that made absolutely no sense i know i Wasn't in deep sleep certainly not a deep enough sleep for close to 20 people to perish without me noticing it wasn't until i took a few steps along the side of the pool that i

noticed the same deafening silence as the vanishing episode from before as soon as i noticed i became disoriented i stumbled a bit but caught myself before i tumbled into The pool it was then that i noticed something a woman wearing all black was crouching in the far corner diagonally across from the pool from me laughing hysterically here very quietly just quiet enough to break the uncomfortable silence i attempted to yell over to her but i couldn't hear my own voice her stifled terrifying laughter was the only sound that existed in my Current abhorrent consciousness i

felt a tap on my shoulder i spun around and was standing about an inch away from a man i only saw him for a brief moment but i saw that he was wearing all black and he was definitely the same man i'd seen first standing in the corner of the room in the picture of room 325 and then standing in front of me At the desk before i blacked out i unequivocally knew it was him from the impossibly wide bright teethed grin that covered his lower face it startled me to my call and i instinctively

stepped back falling into the watery grave that was now the whitmore pool i struggled to get to the surface but it was as if the bodies had all drifted towards me at that moment when i hit the water Trapping me underneath them i flailed aimlessly under the water the light closing in on me as i felt my last breaths escaping my lungs it was then that i snapped back awake i looked around now wide awake and everyone was as they were the moment my eyes all but forced themselves shut children were playing in the shallow

end Adults were horse playing in the deep end below my feet i looked to the far corner where the woman had been laughing and there was no one i would have chalked this instance up to a terrifying dream if it weren't for the fact that i was inexplicably soaking wet from head to toe the pool incident was very unnerving for me There was no logical explanation for my being soaking wet when i hadn't been in the water i took an inventory of all the things that had happened so far there was the red light emanating

from room 323 the vanishing episode the tower picture fainting episode and now the pool event those coupled with a few minor happenings i mentioned before had let me know one thing i had not yet Been attacked or directly harmed in any way even with the pool in my dream i guess you'd call it that mario kennedy didn't push me he simply startled me which in turn caused me to fall backwards into the water neither he nor the woman who i was assuming to be marrying kennedy had ever physically touched me i should also clear up

something I didn't directly ask any of my co-workers if they had been experiencing anything strange regarding room 323 on the third floor or the hotel in general for the sake of not wanting to come off as crazy instead i chose to keep an open air and see if anyone mentioned something i did not and when i delegated certain responsibilities unto the other employees which required them to Venture to the third floor i was met with no opposition nor apprehension so i believe myself to be the only one affected by whatever is going on here that

said i decided i was going to figure out what was going on i know horror movie cliche head towards the danger my only explanation for this is that once it's actually happening to you it's almost impossible to not want to get to the bottom of it I knew what was happening but i wanted i needed to know why it was happening so with that i waited until the following monday's night shift the weekend was fairly uneventful save for a few doors closing by themselves and computer restarting i told the day staff to not book rooms

on the third floor unless absolutely necessary so as to shield any of the others from harm that might Come from my endeavors so monday night i had just finished sending an incoming guest to the second floor for the night it was just after 2 am after the bar had emptied out i said farewell to the bartender and set my back soon placard on the front desk i made my way up to the third floor i exited the staircase i have always had an irrational fear of Elevators that's why you may have noticed i never mentioned

taking it anywhere then headed to the hallway that contained room 323 as soon as i turned the corner all lights between the two at the ends of the hall went out as they usually did whenever i entered the vicinity also true to form my consciousness seemed to now be void of all Sound only a fear-inducing silence surrounded me i'm not gonna lie to you i was so scared it took quite literally everything i had to try and unravel this mystery that had presented itself to me i took a deep breath with each slow step i

took down the dimly lit hall with each pace taking me further into the darkness as i reached room 327 all the symptoms Of fear hit me like a freight train cold sweats flooded down my back their hairs on the back of my neck and my arms stood at attention if commanded by a drill sergeant my breathing turned shallow as if the air had suddenly become thinner like i was standing at the top of a tall mountain my mind was bombarded with possible scenarios As i had literally no idea what i was walking into i was

now standing in front of room 325 i hesitated walking any further until i looked behind me and found only a solid wall about three feet behind decorated with the same paint pattern as the rest of the hallway i was at much to my dismay the point of no return i turned back around and found another solid wall in front of me Just inches past the door to the dreaded room 323 faced with the revelation that i had no choice now i resolved to continue onwards i only had a few feet left to go but every

centimeter felt like a mile i lifted my right foot off the ground to take a step when i heard the door creak open doors in the whip more don't creak so in hindsight I felt as if this small effect was added simply to scare me more i decided that since i was in this no matter what at this point i took three long steps and confronted run three two three the red glow i saw the first time i had an experience with the room was back and if you remember it was definitely from a light

and not blood as was the case with room 325 The red light spilled out into the dark hallway and i could feel heat drifting out of the room i took a deep breath closed my eyes and nudged the door open i don't know what i was expecting i half thought i was going gonna be dragged into the room and gruesomely ended by some ghost demons and half thought i was gonna pass out From fear and adrenaline overdose i opened my eyes and saw that the bulb in the lamp that illuminated the room was red i

carefully took a step inside and saw nothing and no one you know how you get that feeling that someone is around you even before you know it well i didn't have that feeling i very slowly and nimbly made my way into the room A dated set of women's clothes were draped neatly over the chair in the corner of the room and a very nice expensive looking men's suit was hanging up atop of the slightly ajar bedroom door i looked around the run it took me a second to notice that it was different than the rest

of the rooms in the hotel it was styled like it hadn't been changed in 20 years this would make it 1996. Makes sense i tiptoed over to the bedroom door and just as my fingers grazed the door to slightly push it open the television in the living room area turned on a disorienting cacophony of static and white noise assaulted my senses i quickly got my bearings and when i did it was a video recording of the hotel's basement it looked like it was being recorded on A super eight camera i watched as whatever was holding

the camera made their way to the back storage area the camera focused on a pile of newspapers as if inviting me to examine their contents then the television cut off that feeling i mentioned when you know someone is near you and you know it before seeing them i had that now I spun around and there they were mario and marion kennedy standing in front of the now closed door with the exact opposite of their disgusting grins their faces were now home to terrible grimaces as if they were extremely displeased that i was in their home

as soon as mario began to move towards me i threw myself into the bedroom and Closed the door behind me panicked i flicked the light switch on which filled the room with the same red light as the room i had just escaped from to my surprise there was another door in the room not a closet door as that was to my right and open wide with clothes thrown about the floor at another full sized door directly in front of me on the wall next To the california king bed that took up most of the rest

of the room on the left before i had time to react what i'm sure was both mario and marion began violently pounding on the door simultaneous to marion's crippling laughter i used every bit of energy in my body to run across the room to the other door but what happened was something straight out of a bad dream in a horror film the room turned into a hallway growing Longer with every stride i took the door just out my reach i heard the door behind me burst open and turned my head to see mario and marion

floating not running but hovering over the ground as if they were on some sort of track towards me now with those indescribable smiles back on the disproportion of visages Gaining on me quickly i don't know how i did it or what made it possible but as i silently begged and pleaded to whatever higher power there is to let me reach the door i did just as the kennedy couple reached me i was able to grab the door handle and push it down opening into another hotel room as i tried to leap inside the scalding Hot

hand grabbed my left wrist in a fluid motion i ripped my hand from the grip of who i turned to see was marrying kennedy and lunged forward i tumbled in and immediately scrambled to turn around and closed and locked the door behind me i sat with my back to the door as the kennedys once again beat against it i took a deep breath and observed my surroundings I was in room 325. i had completely forgotten that 3 2 3 and 3 2 5 were connected via a doorway a populist style of room for two families

traveling together each gets their own room with the convenience of having an open door between the two of them to enjoy each other's company upon this realization i concluded that i wasn't any safer here than i was in room 323 I had seen this room covered in blood with the kennedys standing in the corner so it is not as if this room was uncharted territory for them you have to realize i knew next to nothing about what i was up against i didn't know what they wanted i didn't know why me i didn't know the

extent of their abilities i didn't know if they had free reign over the hotel and could go anywhere They pleased or if they were confined to rooms 323 325 and the pool area all i knew at this moment was that i was without question in a room they could inhabit and finally looking at my left wrist i noticed a light burn in the shape of a hand which informed me that they could in fact physically hurt me I did the smart thing and ran for the door to the hallway silently praying that it wouldn't open

up to a solid wall luckily it didn't i stumbled into the hall my mind hazed by a vicious cocktail of darkness and silence only broken by the banging on the door in the room behind me as well as fear i ran to the left towards the light at the end of the hall Once i made it to the point where the light reached me i looked back mario and marion kennedy were standing outside of room 323 next to each other both smiling and waving i kept running until i made it down to the lobby to

my surprise the guest i had checked in about 15 minutes prior was standing at the front desk with all of her luggage and the bartender was Back in the bar serving patrons a round of shots i wearily walked behind the front desk and glanced at the clock which read 159 as the woman addressed me so so so what do you have a room with a balcony open i don't get why you couldn't just check on your computer don't you know which rooms have them oh i yeah i'm so sorry i just look i don't Care

just get me set up i'm tired and have a lot of work to do tomorrow i need to get some sleep how long had i been gone why did i tell her i needed to go check on a room with a balcony when she was right i could have just checked it on the computer i was so confused of course mom my apologies i went through the process of setting her room up Gave her her key card for room 239 and sent her on her understandably thankless way by this time the patrons in the bar

had done their shots and the bartender was putting their glasses in the dishwasher as they headed back to their rooms for the night he set the dishwasher to clean the contents and turned off the lights in the bar In a true dejavo experience we exchanged the same goodbyes as i could have sworn we've done not 15 minutes earlier i reflected on what had happened a few things i'd learned and what i needed to do next i resolved that on my next night shift which would be the following night tuesday into wednesday i would go into

the basement to find out Whatever the television in room 323 was trying to tell me i figured i had already gone this far why stop now i guess you could say i'm a pretty persistent person i needed to know what was happening to me in all this entire circumstance boggled my mind had i just hallucinated that whole nightmarish ordeal as with the paul incident i might have Assumed so were it not for the slightly stinging hand-shaped burn wound that wrapped around my left wrist the morning after the incident with mario and marion i got off

work and went home where sleep was a non-existent activity in my life i sat there contemplating about how i should go about the basement what dangers i would be in what i might find At the end of a long personal debate i decided i was going to hold off on the basement i didn't want to end up like every first character who dies in a horror movie because they got too brave and decided to go in search for the killer that was the plan anyway but that changed when i walked into work the following night

i tried to busy myself with tasks reading memos left by the day manager Going over reservation books and handling random computer tasks but as i was doing the computer tasks something of course happened the screen once again flashed to the bloody room 325 with the kennedys standing in the corner smiling only this time it was different this time i was in the center of the floor covered in blood myself I was laying down almost in the fetal position and it did not look like in the least bit voluntary i tried to take a picture of

the computer screen with my phone but the result was just a blur of red as i looked into the picture trying to find something useful from it the burn on my wrist started to sting i looked at it and it had a dull glow to it that i could faintly see through the white bandage wrap that i had secured Around it i shook it off then i got the idea to print the screen from the computer i did the proper keystrokes and turned around as the printer kicked into gear when i turned i was face

to face with mario kennedy he put his hands on my biceps and his face went from that ghoulish grin to a distorted misconstrued mouth open wide scream That threatened to rupture my eardrums before i knew it i was done and i was standing face to face with the bartender who was shaking me by the tops of my shoulders hey stop what what you stood here for like 30 seconds staring into space then just started screaming at the top of your lungs you wouldn't snap out of it are you okay you want me to call you

an ambulance or Something no no i'm sorry i just freaked out for a second i'm fine thank you you sure yeah seriously yeah i'm good sorry about that thanks for getting me back into the real world the bartender wandered back over to the bar looking behind him to make sure i was okay i could see the bar patrons whispering amongst themselves about what had just Transpired i was more than a little embarrassed i went into the back room and took my shirt off in front of the mirror we had there i inspected my arms and

shoulders as i said i had been grabbed by mario on my biceps and by the bartender on my shoulders my shoulders showed no signs of contact but my biceps had finger-shaped bruises better than burns i figured it wasn't Until later that i learned why i got one instead of the other i grabbed a flashlight from a supply closet and navigated the maze-like hallways on the first floor until i reached the basement door the door led to a long three-tier staircase which in turn led to a vast unfinished basement i turned the light on took my

first steps down And once i reached the first landing i heard the lock click on its own on the door above me this was starting to look like a bad idea but i trudged on i made it to the second landing and the lights flickered a few times before going completely out this was a really stupid idea i turned on the flashlight i was now congratulating myself on bringing And continued down the last few stairs creeped and echoed throughout the basement the air down there was thick and damp it felt like a weight was pressing

down on me as if gravity worked overtime down there for a moment i felt as if the silence i'd come to expect when delving into this mystery had turned itself on but then realized it hasn't the basement was just simply that quiet The only thing i could hear was a furnace on the far back left side of the wide open space lining the walls were storage units some empty some with random cleaning apparatus some with winter snow removal machines and shovels some with old comforters and bed sheets the one i'd seen in the video recording

in room 323 was in the far back right corner I knew because the angle of the video showed the newspapers in the storage unit to the immediate left of the corner of the large area i slowly began to trek to where hopefully information or answers of some kind would be because this hotel had proven time and time again to have things uncertain occur At any whim i took great care with each step i imagine the batteries in the flashlight hadn't been changed in years because honestly no one ever needed to use it that being the

case only a small path was illuminated in front of me each small step i took echoed between the concrete walls every small scrape my feet made sounded like it was amplified Until suddenly there was no more sound at all it was happening again the silence my desire to know what was in the basement wrestled with my better judgment until the thirst for knowledge won out and i kept moving forward then suddenly to my left in an empty storage locker with the door wide open was a woman lying face down on the ground it wasn't marion

as this woman had Brown hair and mariam was blonde i decided i was just going to ignore it and keep on going i got about two steps past the locker when i turned around the woman was now behind me out of the storage closet in a stance like she was ready to leave only it wasn't a random woman it was a decaying decrepit form of my mother the skin hung off her face like a peeling banana Blood was caked around her crusted lips her eyes were glassy foggy white and she sniffed the air what the

hell i absent-mindedly said out loud i knew my mum was home and fine i was texting her shortly before that this had to be an illusion of some kind foolishly i decided to find out stood my ground and waited for her to make her move she swiped forwards towards me and her grotesquely long fingernails ripped Through my polo shirt all right not an illusion good to know i turned around and sprinted and that's when i looked behind me my mother started to run but hit some sort of invisible brick wall i saw her face contorted

like she'd been hit in the face with a frying pan as she fell to the cold floor she immediately bounced back up and tried advancing on me but whatever was in her way Held her back she moved around in what seemed to be an invisible box containing her i was more than confused i kept on walking only now picking up the pace as i passed another empty storage locker i was hit with a blast of heat that sent me flying to the left i hit the wall just barely holding onto the flashlight The force with

which i flew into the wall put me in a daze my vision was temporarily blurry but i could clearly make out mario and mariam floating towards me with their grins they stopped a few feet short of me and in the blink of an eye their expressions turned blank it will be easier for us all if you just let us do what we need to do i didn't know how to respond We almost had you in the room yesterday but she got out do you know how angry that made me marion i looked at marion whose

face instantly turned to pure rage we will get you eventually make it easier on all of us and come to room 325 so we can do what must be done enough of these cat and mouse games i was stunned that i was finally being communicated to Instead of arbitrary circumstances just filling my existence what needs to be done why me mario and mariam both laughed hysterically [Music] because you're the one silly what do you mean i'm the one what one one for what words rolled off my tongue rapid fire suddenly mario and marion vanished and

the minimal sound the basement Produced came back to life i had no clue of what was going on they were gone my zombie mum was gone sound was normal and i didn't have the slightest clue why i checked my phone and saw time moving as it should be no more moment relapses in time and space so that was good at least i looked at the tear of my shirt and it was indeed Still present i was still sweating from the waves of hot air that accompanied the kennedys this had all actually just happened i got

to my feet and dusted myself off i was finally gonna make it to the corner of the basement i wasted no time and rushed to the first storage container to the left of the corner in it was a stack of newspapers just like the television in room 323 had showed next to the stack of papers was a note that read these stay here please from what i could tell the newspapers were from 1926 1930 and 1996. let me break down the information i found within them this won't be verbatim as i didn't exactly have the

capacity of copying all the information down at the time 1926 enoch phelps investment banker arrested for Connection to kidnapping what i gathered from this was that enoch phelps was an original member of the kennedy conglomerate he along with wilson kennedy george willem and marco esperanza founded the congregation of his infernal divinity basically it was a name they could be psychopaths under a reason to take the young and sacrifice them To whatever the hell it was they believed in so in 1926 someone tipped off the authorities about the location of some of the missing children they

were directed to a place owned by a female friend of enoch phelps she gave up enoch and he was arrested for connection to the taking further articles explained that he was tried and convicted and received 15 years for his crimes Although he would pass in prison due to respiratory failure 1930 arthur whitmore missing he was pronounced dead after months of no leads those are two separate articles by the way here's where the big revelation came sort of arthur whitmore disappeared in the fall of 1930 during the planning phase of the as yet unnamed whitmore hotel

there was foul play suspected As he had his whole life on the west coast he was a happy man looking forward to his future involvement in this large project after spending months and countless resources trying to locate him he was pronounced dead after nothing but the last suit jacket he ever wore was found in the rocky mountains his colleagues decided to name the hotel that they were building after him in his honor what stuck out to Me was the following arthur whitmore leaves behind his expecting wife elaine whitmore maiden name botic hold the phone elaine

bottick that was my mother's name i pondered on this for a moment until i remembered that she got her name from her great-grandmother that meant of course that arthur whitmore was my great-great-grandfather after his death Elaine went on to marry another man after having my great-grandmother and the marriage didn't last she reverted back to her maiden name none of the women on my mother's side of the family have ever married very taboo for some of the times so i was born ebotic i now knew what my connection to this hotel was and perhaps why i

was being targeted i just didn't Know what was going to be accomplished by me going to room 323 1996 gruesome scene at the whitmore hotel one child and two suspects found in a room deceased this explained this story in not as much detail as i'd read online the story of mario and marion kennedy i honestly didn't get much help from this article But it was good to know what was fact and what was just internet hearsay what was helpful was what i found underneath the newspapers a box of yellow legal paper pads with seemingly incoherent

scribblings in red ink i flipped through trying to make sense of anything and just couldn't until i realized the first three pages were some sort of code unfortunately i never found out What those codes meant i'll say that now after the third page however it was a detailed list of all the goings-on at the congregation of his infernal divinity pages upon pages of information about the people they were targeting taking their rituals and their locations their influences on business way back when and all the information stopped at 1992 I sat in the basement looking at

these yellow legal pads of paper that seemed to give me all the information on the congregation of his infernal divinity that one could ever desire i will do my best to relay this information to you to the best of my memory and before you ask i tried taking pictures they turned out just like the one i took of the computer screen a blur of whatever was the primary color In the picture in this case yellow the original idea of the congregation of his infernal divinity was conceived by an eccentric member of the original generation of

the kennedy conglomerate before it was formed wilson kennedy together with his friends marco esperanza enoch phelps and george willem kennedy held a meeting at a lavish Supper club the benedict here he proposed the scriptures of the bible they would follow kennedy chose to worship the offspring birthed through a process of mixing the blood of the demons clownec folklore moloch chronos and barbus named rusell clonic was the demon that could grant great power and wealth folklore was the patron of rage Moloch who was in particular one of the worst and most feared demons who was a

leader of hell's army and demanded the lives of the innocent in particular the young chronos who controlled time and space and finally barbus the demon of fear the results from a mixing of their blood birthed through a virgin child russell This was a demon of pure evil and mayhem he promised great wealth to his followers but demanded the blood of the innocent as retribution anyone who faltered in their ability to perform their duties to him would be dealt with in the most horrific ways imaginable wilson kennedy summoned this demon through a process that involved him

getting the demon to appear And speaking to him through a mirror offering and negotiating terms it was then decided that kennedy would be granted great riches in exchange for a youngling and the recruitment of another for the same purpose and same reward more fortune required more young and more recruits kennedy then regarded his colleagues of how roosevelt came to be and how he came to such great Wealth much to their amazement and disbelief he invited them to summon themselves then individual summonings that took place over the next week each giving wilson kennedy the proper credit

for his recommendation roosevelt told each of the men the same terms he gave kennedy which each of the men graciously accepted in another meeting held a few days after the summonings were all complete The men decided to form the kennedy conglomerate as a place to house all of roosevelt's followers under the guise of legitimate business persons while all were truly members of the congregation of his infernal divinity each man found a close friend or colleague as a recruit and their recruits did the same when they were At a proper age to fulfill the agreement between

themselves and roosevelt the original member of the church brought in the young and so the cult grew generation after generation one of these business associates was arthur whitmore a close friend and colleague of enoch phelps one of the original members of the kennedy conglomerate calm and mild-mannered arthur whitmore Reluctantly accepted a vague invitation of sorts to an induction ceremony but what he saw boggled his mind the ceremony was described in detail almost as if someone were taking minutes on a business meeting and this log was accompanied by some grainy polaroid pictures to help better illustrate

the words wayne cousins induction ceremony apparently each member who was getting Inducted had to describe how they went about taking the young one who they were going to offer for their penance to roosel wayne cousins began watching the nine-year-old niece of his mistress he took two weeks off work to learn her every move when not covertly spying on her he would encourage his mistress to spend time With her sister's family where he could get an up-close look at what would be his first victim after two weeks he went to the sister's home just before dark

incapacitated the sister and her husband and knocked the nine-year-old unconscious he carried her to his vehicle and drove off into the night heading for a predetermined safe house to store it Until they were ready to be transported to the church the church i learned was an underground compound about half a mile from the kennedy conglomerate headquarters accessible only via a tunnel that ran between the two domiciles it was a large underground complex that had a massive ballroom in the center of which the ceremonies were held Once at the church one would stand at some place

in the three rows of pews from behind a closed door then a bodyguard of some sort brought out the offering immediately closing the doors behind them he walks the blindfolded offering to the head of the stage behind which the door lies on this stage there was a metal platform with hundreds of small holes decorated with skirts Beneath the platform was a sliding container which i learned was for collecting blood and underneath that was a fire pit on a self-standing wall to the right of the platform was an array of blades the offering was then admired

by the crowd from the pews before having a white sheet draped over them and finally laid down on the platform with the wrists and ankles bound To the short post that adorned the end of the tabletop like surface the original members of the congregation of his infernal divinity then entered from these same doors that the offering and bodyguard came from adorned in black and red hooded robes two of the four men stood on each side of the platform and chanted something which was responded to by the crowd after this wayne cousins exited the back Room

wearing a blue hooded robe there were a series of questions asked and answered between the four kennedy conglomerate members and weighing cousins wayne francis cousins do you after all accept the term set forth by rusell yes i do do you believe roosevelt to have abided to his end of the deal you two came to yes i do are you prepared to offer your penance To roosevelt in exchange for his generosity yes i do do you accept that any failure to fulfill your duties to roosevelt will result in russell exerting his most heinous force of retribution

upon you yes i do then without further ado please commence with the offering wayne walked over to the wall and chose his weapon It was long and thin and curved at the end he dragged the edge over to the sheet and brought it down in the middle where he held it momentarily before sliding it through the sheet according to the logs the screams filled the ballroom more than any other tribute had wayne took a bow and returned to the head of the platform handing the Bodyguard his weapon who in turn wiped it clean with a

rag and returned it to the wall they chanted some more things and wayne then removed the sliding container it was like a mixing bowl that sat on a track and then wilson kennedy spoke we now offer this body and blood in the name of wayne francis cousins to the almighty russo the four other men around the podium joined him In speaking as he give it to us so shall we give it to him in return kennedy lit a match and tossed it onto the presumably pre-soaked wood underneath the platform and the flames roared up engulfing

the tribute as the fire burned and the crowd joined the five men on stage in a chant once everything was burnt and charred And the flames died down a bit wayne poured the blood first over the tribute to stifle the flames that remained and then the platform was slid from over the fire pit as the remaining blood was distributed among the pile to extinguish the flames after this everyone cheered and congratulated wayne with a flurry of handshakes and hugs except for as it was noted arthur Whitmore the papers referred to him as a conniving traitoring

god worshiping scumbag along with many other things i then read on about what happened to arthur whitmore apparently he went along under a charade that he was very interested in becoming part of the congregation of his infernal divinity he performed the summoning ritual under The watchful eye of his sponsor enoch phelps and was then taken through a rehearsal sacrificial ceremony he was told he had one month to take and deliver his chosen tribute to a location that would be given to him on the night he planned to do it he spent the next three weeks

giving up made-up details about a young boy he told a fictional account of the boy's schedule What the parents seem like and what the boy enjoyed playing with all the information that one might obtain through clandestine surveillance well it was the first day of the last week he had he had since been to two other ceremonies as attending any and all of them was expected by a prospective member of the congregation It was the ceremony held this night that must have sent him over the edge their tribute was very young the sponsee was a woman

who had waited for her neighbor to give birth and on the night that the new mother returned home from the hospital took the offering arthur watched in horror as everything happened before his eyes he told enoch phelps that tonight was going to be the night he was going To bring his tribute enoch told him to go home and wait by the phone while he found out which safehouse he was going to be expected to drop the tribute off at arthur sped home waited by his telephone with a piece of paper and a pen he received

his call shortly after getting home and got the address he immediately called the sheriff's Department and reported that the tributes were being held at the address he was given six potential tributes were found at the house of ruth hammond a mistress of enoch phelps ruth folded under the pressure and revealed her lover's involvement in the scheme in the trial that ensued phelps was sentenced to 15 years ruth hammond ate for her part Through information given by arthur whitmore they found the church but no remains of any of the tributed nor any evidence that anything had

ever taken place even though the church and the rest of the congregation were safe from prosecution inferred to by virtue of powerful connections the blame was almost immediately assigned to arthur Not long after the trial ended he vanished without a trace what i read after this gave me so much insight as to exactly what i was dealing with arthur whitmore was taken by private train car to the midwest by the original members of the church of his infernal divinity and some loyal followers somewhere in the rocky mountains the group stopped and tortured arthur leaving his

suit jacket Behind a monogrammed handkerchief was found in the breast pocket thus revealing its owner they traveled to the land they had recently purchased that was going to be the site of the hotel at that point just a large open field they summoned roosevelt to be present during the end of the man who had summoned and then blatantly forsaken him depriving him of Countless sacrifices rusul then put a curse on his bloodline damning every male descendant he had rusell explained that no man had ever summoned him then forsaken him before bringing him a sacrificial recruit

and that this was an important event the curse he laid on arthur whitmore meant that with each subsequent death of his descendants Rusell could walk the earth for one day it was insinuated that the amount of damage rusul could do in one day could be catastrophic the opportunity for demons to walk amongst men was apparently highly coveted roosevelt then declared that one day a chosen one would become a part of the congregation he would grant this person the privilege of remaining on earth into the afterlife with one purpose It was then that he prophesized that

a whitmore would one day step foot onto this land where his ancestor was sacrificed when this happened the spirit of the chosen one was to sacrifice the descendant of whitmore thus granting roosevelt the opportunity to walk the earth for one day i read further after the police shut down the safe house the church ceased operations for some time Saved for the sacrifice of arthur whitmore years later it was brought back to prominence by the sons of the original members of the kennedy conglomerate and so it went through the generations over the years countless young were

taken and offered so was not to arouse suspicion members looking for tributes to their first offering would spend weeks at a time in other states Choosing their tribute from places that had no connection in any way to where they regularly laid their heads at night one man that didn't care to join the congregation was mario kennedy he had everything he wanted in his life he had no need to summon a demon for wealth or power that is until he met marion masterson mariam was brought into The church by her mother it was at her summoning

that russell proclaimed her to be the chosen one he told marion she would one day find a lover who would bow to her every whim and together they would bring the church to new heights as you know this wasn't the case the lover she found was mario and mario became so enthralled with the Sacrificial aspect of the church he eventually led to the exposing and subsequent downfall of the congregation of his infernal divinity roosevelt was not pleased with this he threatened to condemn mario to hell and he would have if marion had not pleaded with

him to allow her to stay on the earth after they died so mario could have a chance to make amends to roosevelt By helping with the sacrifice of the whitmore descendant roosevelt agreed word amongst the now imprisoned members of the congregation was that roosevelt and the kennedys had gone into a hibernation of sorts only to be awoken when the whitmore descendant stepped foot on the land that was the end of the pads of paper i was so confused i stood up too fast as it were and got Dizzy i closed my eyes for a moment

and opened them to find myself in the middle of a large field i was frozen in fear i heard the crunching of coal grass behind me and spun around and a man i'd never seen before stood before me were it not for me all of your colleagues in the hotel would make fast meals for roosevelt what Do you not find it strange that not another one soul can see the things you have seen well yeah i have been in the hotel for a long time nicholas who are you arthur whitmore i didn't know what to

say just a week and a half ago i'd never seen a ghost and now i'm in the middle of a damn ghost cult demon conspiracy what's the point of all this Obviously to not die so the demon can't walk the earth but what if i just leave the hotel can they follow me the kennedys and rusell have been dormant for the last 20 years that much time down it takes time to reach the power they once had their interactions with you have increased in severity over time have they not they had once they reach full

power the kennedys Will have free reign through my own efforts i have contained them to the hotel and made it so their influence can only be felt by you and no one else soon they will be able to freely move about the world and kill again something they have not done for two decades and would be eager to partake in they will stop at nothing to appease rules And that means they will never stop hunting you must stop them and how might i go about that i asked halfway tempted to just end my life now

since i was gonna definitely die soon anyway better a bullet in my brain than having my life ended by the ghost right you must arm yourself with holy relics and sacrifice mario and marion kennedy Offering his own demons to him will show him you are a worthy adversary and he will abandon his quest for your blood he will wait in hell to be summoned again and find a new avenue through which to walk the earth so get a bunch of crosses and stuff walk into room three two three or three to five or more scream

the power of christ compels you And they'll just lay down and be like time to die it may not be as difficult as you presume i blinked and i was suddenly back in the basement the papers were gone i was so unbelievably confused i wasn't a demon slayer i was a goddamn float position worker and a failing historical hotel i thought back to my job application i'm Relatively not positively but relatively sure that this was not in my job description i thought back on my life nothing even nearing a fraction of this complexity and adventure

had ever been bestowed upon me i thought about it and decided i was going to see this through to the end i was going to heed the advice of my ancestor And save countless people from dying horrific deaths i was going to confront mario and marrying kennedy i went to a religious supply store the next morning and bought myself the most aggressive looking crucifixes i could find i bought three rosaries to hang around my neck i bought a bible i even went and had a priest Bless some water for me to tell you the truth

i had no idea what i was doing i suppose my plan was to burst into room 323 throw some holy water on the two psycho demons that wanted my blood to wake a sleeping super demon and tried to subdue them by hitting them with a bible and poking them with crucifixes trust me at the time it felt as stupid as it sounds here I got to work on thursday night and relieved the day shift employee i sat around for a while with my religious paraphernalia on my person trying to muster up the courage to go

to rome 323 shortly after the bartender left the lights dimmed all sound escaped the room it was time i knew it and they knew it whatever was gonna happen was going to happen now i walked up the Stairs to the third floor and made my way to the infamous hallway the two lights at the end of the hall shone bright at the apex as if to remind me where i had to go i walked down and reached room 325 the door creaked open on its own letting the red light seep into the hallway there was

a metal table with skirts in the middle of the room above a small pit with a container On a track underneath the tabletop the same type of platform from the polaroids that accompanied the ever informative legal pads that was what they hoped to have me laying on in due time i continued walking to run three two three the door was closed i used my master key to unlock the electronic lock and pushed the handle down i hesitated before pushing the door open everything In me was telling me to turn around and run and run and

not stop running but i knew that if i did this would never end and i would be haunted until i was caught i would just be delaying the inevitable i inched the door open i didn't realize i had been looking down towards the floor until i redirected my eyes up and found Mario standing at the crack in the door with a violently angry grimace adorning his face the door flew open yet mario stood in the same place almost as if the door simply passed through him not too far-fetched i'd say given everything mario breathed deeply

and heavily his chest heaving with every inhale the anger in his Eyes was mesmerizing i managed to break my gaze and looked past him to see marion posing in a curtsy in the back of the room smiling her sinister grin i'm not sure which frightened me more at the time i hadn't realized it but i was holding up my three rosaries that hung from my neck in front of me and to my surprise it seemed to keep mario at bay Suddenly he spoke do you not understand what your destiny is i do i'm just not

exactly okay with getting ended and burnt and having blood poured all over me i said with far more confidence than i previously thought i had no matter what you do you can't stop it so do it i spoke without thinking i immediately thought why the hell would i taunt a demon To my relief mario didn't move he just glared i began to speak you i was cut off not like interrupted but like my voice stopped working everything warped around me walls caved in then bubbled out sounds erupted from no discernible source interrupted only by random

bouts of complete silence which proved to be equally as deafening Lights flared and dimmed simultaneously binding me and offering me comfort at the same time and i blacked out when i came to i was laying in the middle of room 325 on the floor i was awoken by something dripping on my face before i was fully coherent i used my finger to check what it was it was blood i looked up hanging over me was a rudimentary canopy made out of a wooden frame that hadn't Been in the room when i looked in it earlier

hanging from this canopy was a each body and leg was tied by a sheet to a corner of the wooden frame then mass of the body sagging lower than the rest vital organs hanging halfway out of a gash in the victim's back it was when i came fully too that i recognized the clothing it was the bartender i had been Responsible for his end maybe not directly but i hadn't acted fast enough shame and regret coursed through my veins like a hit of heroin momentarily paralyzing me with guilt i couldn't stop to feel sorry for

myself though i sat up and saw mario and marrying kennedy standing in the corner of the room i reached to my neck for the rosaries but Grabbed nothing but air they were gone marion held up the rosaries and laughed with her signature cackling howl the crucifix i brought was resting on the bible which sat atop of a small table next to the kennedys well there goes that plan blood surrounded the floor around me i was next to the metal platform i used it to pull myself up from the floor Nearly slipping on the red coat

of coagulating liquid that slicked the carpet below me in an instant marion was face to face with me so long it seems that we've been waiting for this i didn't know how to respond i felt helpless i felt like i was in the final moments of my life subconsciously i resolved all the internal conflicts that weighed heavily inside me I silently made amends to all those i wronged in my life i had regretted certain past decisions i made i raised my hand to wipe away a tear from my eye as my hand descended back to

my face to my side it brushed against my pocket i just barely felt the small tube of holy water i had placed there moments before walking down the hallway While marion talked staring intently into my eyes i with all the grace i could summon removed the tube from my pocket twisted off the cap on the top was a screen so one could flick the wrist and sprinkle holy water out like they do in catholic church services i truly hope you know how great of the service you're doing will be so grateful for your sacrifice The

blood of so many will proudly spill in the future because of your blood spilling today shall we begin right here is where a csi miami or bruce campbellesque one liner would have fit like a puzzle piece a list of them ran through my head sacrificed this i'd rather spill some holy water you look like you could use a shower but This is in a movie and i'm not a b-grade actor so instead i said absolutely nothing i raised my hand and shook the tube which sprinkled holy water onto marion instead of scalding her skin which

is what i've been led to believe would happen by years of exorcism movies she flew back against the wall as if hit by a wrecking ball I quickly composed myself and tossed holy water at the already advancing mario sending him back with the same force as his twisted lover i looked at them they were both incapacitated all i could think of was wow how incredibly ridiculously easy what did i even have to be scared about i felt like the man now i had to Sacrifice them i needed to show this twisted demon that i wasn't

one to tussle with apparently i kept the holy water clutched between my thumb and index finger as i dragged marion's body to the platform it took some elbow grease the weight of the ghost demon is not much different from that of a living person and is quite heavy i retrieved a bed Sheet from the closet while keeping an eye on mario who laid in the corner unconscious i placed the sheet over marion's body and the door to the room creaked open i readied the holy water and found myself in a state of instant panic much

to my relief arthur whitmore entered the room you will need someone to conduct the ceremonial interview and necessary chance that will be my Duty he then extended his hand in it a long blade with a thick handle i took it from him and stood at the head of the platform all the while keeping my peripheral vision focused on mario nicholas jacob do you offer this soul in the name of the infernal rusal i do do you intend to enter into a sacred truth with roosevelt i do do you agree to Abide by his order for

fear of eternal damnation i do i spotted out not knowing what i was agreeing to everything was happening so fast i didn't even give myself any time to listen to what was being said to me it's only in retrospect that i'm able to relay these words to you then without further ado please commence with the offering i took the blade And without hesitation repeatedly brought it down the covered body of marion kennedy blood soaked through the white sheet that cloaked it and i heard blood dripped through the holes into the bowl underneath i continued until

i felt my arm was going to fall off all the while mariam was completely and utterly silent she didn't move an inch i don't know if She was unconscious through all of it or if she was just as tough as any one woman ghost could be i didn't really care arthur whitmore simply stood and admired what i was doing he motioned for me to continue on with mario whose body i laid halfway on top of his now thoroughly filleted lover i repeated the process and by the time i was done i was out of Breath

now it was time to burn them my first thoughts were how am i going to have a bonfire in a hotel room without having this whole place go up in flames arthur spoke as if he could read my thoughts do not worry the flames will fall into themselves these spirits will burn hotter than any other earthly flame it will be more of a contained burn Than a roaring fire who was i to argue logic nothing else here made sense why would this arthur handed me a box of matches after i was finished stuffing the recently

deceased into the small pit don't forget to retrieve the blood i slid the bowl off the tracks and set it on the table top behind me an odor i hadn't noticed before Marinated in the room stinging my nostrils i imagine it was the stench of the corpses i looked at the bodies and noticed that they were decomposing at an alarming rate i took this as a sign that i must be cased i struck a match and dropped it in the pit as the fire erupted flames shot high to the scene then subsided And just as

whitmore had said the flames burned only an inch over the kennedys engulfing them and the table on which they rested completely but kept the rest of the room safe the smell permeated the air nearly making me gag arthur and i stood there in silence and just watched as the fire began to subside arthur nodded towards the bowl i retrieved it took it to the platform And poured it over the remains which by this point were nearly bones and even those were turning to ash i then slid the table over and poured the rest of its

contents of the bowl onto the fire pit extinguishing the flames i had done it i had sacrificed two demons to a more dangerous demon i looked at arthur only he looked different He had a grin on his face like marion and mario would have a disgusting white toothy grin thank you for fulfilling your duties for what there was an immediate palpable tension in the air arthur laughed a crackling hell they were going to be able to give me one day on earth you will give me countless days i tried wrapping my mind around what was

happening he took a bow i am pleased To make your acquaintance i am fear ravaged through my body making me feel more sick to my stomach than i already had i watched as arthur's skin began to fall off his face the demon ripped the clothes from his body and his true form became clear he was a hideous monster three horns his feet were hooves his Hands looked more like bird talons and his skin was jet black his eyes were like pure white large marbles his teeth were sharp and jagged crooked and it rose in his

mouth he swiped his right hoof twice and opened his deformed mouth to let out a loud wall that is the last thing i remember of that night I woke up back at the front desk i don't know why but something compelled me to quit right then and there now i know i suppose i owe it to you guys to explain what exactly happened when i quit the hotel i went straight home took a shower and after that i went to my sister's house to visit her newborn son i took mental notes and figured out when

Would be best for me to take some time with my nephew in order to offer him up his tribute you see mario and mariam were confined to the hotel they were ghosts all ghost demons whatever but me i had access to another male from the whitmore bloodline i could create more males from the whitmore bloodline rusell masqueraded as arthur whitmore He can appear as a ghost if he needs to but he can't directly harm humans unless he is walking the earth in human form as arthur he had me learn the summoning rituals and had me

summon him to me personally that way he was connected to me then he had me perform a sacrifice he knew i wouldn't sacrifice a human so he had mario and marion be my victims under the ruse That it would stop roosevelt from hunting me in reality sacrificing a demon to rusal only makes him stronger oh and i learned that the holy water didn't do anything rusal just led me to believe it had in reality he threw them against the wall hard enough to knock them unconscious rusell explained to me that i was indeed the chose

upon Through the mistakes of summoning and forsaking roosevelt before performing a sacrifice arthur whitmore had opened a door as i explained earlier the door was the opportunity to walk the earth by sacrificing the males from his bloodline i was just unlucky enough to be the first born boy in a few generations since i was able to be found at the Whitmore as prophesized by roosevelt i was the easiest target i could create more male descendants to the whitmore bloodline i now spend my days in seclusion i stalk and hunt victims i impregnate as many women

as i can be it through consensual relations or not usually not and i wait i wait until the sperm fertilizes the egg And i sacrifice the woman in a ritual sometimes it would have been a boy sometimes it's not either way rosal is pleased he thoroughly enjoys the days he gets to walk on earth these can be recognized as any days that include a larger than normal death toll somewhere in the world obviously not every case but certainly the more sinister instances I do this because i was shown hell and i do not want to

go there again i have to do this until it's my time if i do rusev promised i wouldn't have to go back he said there's another place i can go i don't really know if i believe him but it's the only thing that keeps me going that maybe after all of this something will be better i'm sorry if this isn't the ending you were looking for It's just this is my life now i intend to tell my story completely and accurately and this is it it's time for me to go now i've been watching a

woman on fuller street for a few days and it seems pretty easy so i guess i'm gonna go do it [Music] goodbye hey guys it's mort here and thank you so Much for listening i really hope you enjoyed this amazing story written by nick bottic he's an awesome writer you can check out more of his work in the description if you fancy i'd also like to extend a huge thank you to each and every collaborator in this video links to their individual channels can also be found in the description too funny story about This uh
