[FINAL UPDATE] The night clerk who posted about Room 112 is gone.

Hey,

I work at the same hotel as the guy who wrote those posts about the phone calls asking for Room 112.

I wasn’t sure if I should post this here, but I found something last night that I can’t stop thinking about.

This will probably get removed by the mods anyway, but if it stays up — someone needs to see it.

He didn’t show up for his next shift.

I cover mornings. Usually when I clock in, he’s just clocking out — tired, pale, joking about how quiet the night was.

But yesterday, the lobby was empty when I got in at 7:00 a.m.

Lights still on. Coffee half-poured.

Front desk phone off the hook.

I figured he’d stepped out for a smoke or gone to grab breakfast, but his jacket and wallet were still behind the counter.

His car was in the lot.

The call log

While waiting for him, I checked the call history on the front desk phone.

There were exactly four minutes and twelve seconds of recorded line activity around 2:09 a.m. — the same timestamp from his last post.

Incoming line: 112

Outgoing line: Front Desk

That’s impossible. The system can’t log “Room 112.” It doesn’t exist. But there it was.

And below it, something else — one last line of text:

Call transferred: External.

Except there’s no external number listed. Just blank space.

The recording

All our calls are automatically recorded. I shouldn’t have, but I pulled the file.

It was nothing but static for the first two minutes — then faint whispering, like someone talking underwater.

I could make out one line, right before the call cut out:

“You shouldn’t have answered.”

Then the sound of a door creaking open.

After that, just silence.

What was left

Housekeeping found the maintenance door to the sealed wing open again this morning.

There were fresh footprints in the dust — only one set, leading up to the burned door marked 112.

The door was cracked open about two inches.

Inside was pitch black, except for the phone on the floor, its red message light blinking.

Eddie from maintenance unplugged the entire switchboard after that.

But the phone in 112 is still blinking.

Even though there’s no power running to that wing.

I don’t know where he went.

Management’s calling it “job abandonment,” but they’ve been unusually quiet about it. The GM ordered us not to mention Room 112 to guests, and IT removed the old posts from the internal server.

But last night, right before I clocked out, I heard the front desk phone ring.

One single tone. Short.

When I checked the caller ID, it didn’t say 112 this time.

It said his name.

If this post disappears, or my account does —

please don’t call the hotel.

I think the line’s already busy.
