The world’s most Haunted place…

Oh, no, its not in France or Rome or London, its your friendly neighbourhood paying guest accommodation, where the owner’s ghost constantly lurks around and where anyone who has survived has faced an extraordinary ordeal. At 10 o’ clock everyday the TV goes off mysteriously, ditto with the water supply and foodstuff by afternoon. An eerie creature that poses as the caretaker and seems to be part of the whole conspiracy against tenants watches everything you do.
Nights are characterized by a gloomy silence and no one dares to venture out of their rooms fearing the unexpected. The food served has a horrifying staleness to it, and the water by taste seems maliciously poisoned. Except for the tenants, hardly any guest is welcome in this estranged territory where life seems comparable to death (i.e., inhabiting hell). Exceptions apart, these places, since times immemorial, have scared and toughened many a dweller. Its impossible to not scream in here. In summers, its hot as hell and in winters, cold as a grave. The owner ghost likes to keep it as dingy as possible. The only respite is the friendly chatter of the inhabitants. Truly, it has become the last resort for the homeless. The materialistic vampire likes to draw money instead of blood, from its innocent preys, who are naïve and easily entrapped in his hypnotic convincing.
The place generates negative vibes that spark grudges amongst fellow inmates. Sounds of mocking laughter then fill the air, along with curses galore. While the guests want to stay out most at nights, they are forced to come back during that time, even if they’ve escaped the place in the day. Its common for things to get misplaced or replaced here without anyone supposedly touching them.
Hats off to the strong and fearless who still face all the horror!
