On a road trip, two friends and I decided to crash for the night at a small, out-of-the-way motel. Around 3 in the morning, I woke up and saw someone standing in the doorway of our room. The door was wide open.
Since I’d been dealing with sleep issues and having really vivid, almost dream-like experiences, I convinced myself it wasn’t real and went back to sleep. The weirdest part? The next morning, all three of us said we had the exact same "dream."
My family and I took a trip to Italy and stayed in this charming but slightly creepy historic hotel. We took tons of photos the whole time, mostly on my son’s camera. When we got back home and looked through the photos, there was one we definitely didn’t take.
It was a blurry photo taken in the middle of the night. The room looked exactly like the one we stayed in, but the angle was strange, like it was taken from the upper corner of the ceiling where a security camera might be.
We checked the timestamp. It was taken at 3:03 AM on our second night, the same night my husband said he had a lucid dream. At the time, we thought it was just that, a weird dream. But now...I’m not so sure.
"Traveled to Virginia for a conference at a mid-range hotel, signed in and spent the first night alone. I was a 20-year-old girl at the time. My (platonic male) friend stayed in my room with me the second night.
I wake up around 2 am and see a strange man in my room. My friend wakes up and sees him too. He stutters and says that he was just dropping off some towels and must have made a mistake. Didn't report it at the time because I would have felt bad if the poor guy got fired over an honest mistake, but I wish I had." © throwaway_today_hay1 / Reddit
"My mom was in China visiting her family when she got a phone call from a number she didn’t recognize. She picked it up and didn’t recognize the voice and asked who the person was. The person pretended to be a friend of my uncle (I’ll call him Bob). My mom was suspicious so she didn’t really talk to Bob so she just hung up.
Fast-forward to when my mom arrived at her hotel. She got a call from the phone in the hotel room, and she picked it up, and it was Bob. She was kind of freaked out because she didn’t say anything about where she was staying. And Bob told her to meet him at a restaurant that was really far. She didn’t go, and she checked into another hotel." © honey-butter-chips / Reddit
I once stayed in a budget hotel during a road trip. Around 2 AM, the front desk called and said there was “an issue with my payment” and asked me to come down. I was half-asleep, but something felt off, so I said I’d check in the morning.
Turns out, no one from the front desk had called me. The police later told me this was a known scam in the area, someone tries to lure guests out of their rooms late at night by pretending to be hotel staff, and then robs them. Still gives me chills thinking about what could’ve happened if I’d gone downstairs.
