“What do you mean haunted”, the clerk asked

“Did you check the registry”, Rachel asked.

“Yes I did. Nobody is signed under this room”, he said.

“I gotta get out of here”, she said.

She jumped up and headed for the door.

“Wait”, the clerk called after her.

“You cant leave”, he said.

“Wanna bet?”, she asked

“Im not a betting man but I’d be willing to take you up on this one”.

She stopped in her tracks. “Why cant I leave?”

“The roads are blocked”, he said.

“I dont believe you. Why would the roads be blocked?”

“There was an accident.

“Great. Just my luck. I’m stuck here in a haunted hotel all night”, she said.

“Miss, I assure you, this place is not haunted.”

“Are you kidding me. You didn’t feel what I just felt when I sat on that bed”, she said.

“What did you feel?”, he asked.

“Just forget it, you wouldn’t believe me anyway. Im going back to my room. Thanks for nothing”.
