A few years ago, we stayed at the supposedly haunted Burlington Hotel in Port Costa for Halloween. 🎃 A few days after booking, they actually called to make sure we weren’t ghost hunters. I jokingly asked what if we were, and they said they’d cancel our reservation because ghost hunters were so disruptive. 🪦
When we arrived on Halloween, the entire town was without power. We walked into the pitch-black, deserted lobby, and a woman suddenly emerged from the darkness, scaring the SHIT out of us. She gave us our key and suggested dinner next door, where they had a generator until the power hopefully returned.
Our room was the very last one on the top floor, named “Wilma,” coincidentally the name of my grandmother, who wasn’t exactly a nice person. 💀
After dinner, the power was back, and we went to bed. I distinctly remember closing our door, hearing it latch, and securing the chain.
The next morning, our door was OPEN. Only the chain was keeping it from swinging wide open. That’s when I realized I’d accidentally left our key in the lock on the OUTSIDE of the door.
Someone had clearly used that key to open our door while we slept. The creepiest part? The hotel seemed completely empty, and whoever opened it could have stood in that dark hallway, watching us sleep through the crack in the door ALL NIGHT LONG.
I still get chills thinking about it. And as a bizarre side note, that ancient hotel’s shower had the water pressure of a fucking fire hose. 🚿💀
