2025 Spooky Story Competition

As soon as I walked in something felt wrong. It was quiet and eerie, this was the only hotel in the village of Kingstone. It was the only place I could stay for my entrepreneurship at the farm. It was a very run-down place; it was next to a pub and a shop that were only open at very odd times. The hotel itself wasn't that old, it seemed out of place in the village, it was something I couldn't explain. The locals said to be careful near the hotel and don't leave your room at night. This scared me and I was shocked to hear this what could be going on there. My first night, I stayed in my room all night and locked the door shut. I heard some very disturbing noises - people screaming and shouting. Then, there was someone trying to get in I quickly hid under my bed and stayed there someone entered looking for me. They left shortly after. That's when I got my things and jumped out of the window. I ran to my car and went to the farmer’s house. I stayed there at his house and the next morning I left and I never went near that town again. Shortly after I left the town, it burned down with no trace to be seen.
