The Haunted Hotel of Durres

The storm was growing stronger by the minute, and Alice and Tom knew they had to find shelter soon. They had been driving for hours and had been unable to find a hotel with available rooms. That was until they stumbled upon the Haunted Hotel of Durres.

Alice had heard about the hotel's reputation as a haunted place, and she couldn't help but be curious. She had always been fascinated by the supernatural, and the chance to spend the night in a haunted hotel was too tempting to pass up.

Tom, on the other hand, was more skeptical. He didn't believe in ghosts and thought the stories were just legends made up by the locals to scare tourists. However, he agreed to stay at the hotel to appease Alice.

As they approached the hotel, they could feel a chill in the air. The old building looked eerie and abandoned, with ivy growing all over its walls and broken windows boarded up with wooden planks.

The couple hesitated for a moment, but Alice was determined to check out the hotel. She opened the door, and they stepped into the dimly lit lobby.

The reception desk was covered in cobwebs, and the furniture looked old and worn out. The place looked like it hadn't been used in years. They rang the bell on the reception desk, but there was no answer.

Suddenly, they heard a creaking noise coming from the staircase. They looked up and saw a shadowy figure standing on the landing. The figure started to descend the stairs slowly, and the couple could see that it was a woman dressed in a white dress.

As the woman approached them, Alice and Tom noticed that she had no feet, and she was floating in the air. They were terrified and tried to run away, but the woman blocked their path.

The woman spoke in a ghostly voice, "Welcome to the Haunted Hotel of Durres. I am the ghost of a former guest who died under mysterious circumstances. I have been haunting this hotel ever since. If you stay here, you will never leave."

Alice and Tom were trembling with fear. They had never experienced anything like this before. They tried to run, but the woman grabbed them and pulled them towards her. Suddenly, the lights went out, and they were plunged into darkness.

They heard the sound of footsteps approaching them, and they could see shadows moving in the darkness. The ghosts of former guests were surrounding them, and they could hear their moans and whispers.

Alice and Tom were paralyzed with fear. They could feel the cold breath of the ghosts on their faces. Suddenly, the lights turned on, and the ghosts disappeared.

The receptionist, who had been hiding in a closet, came out and apologized for the scare. He explained that the hotel was indeed haunted, but they had never seen anything like this before. He offered them a free room for the night, but Alice and Tom declined and ran out of the hotel as fast as they could.

As they were running away, they noticed that the hotel was slowly disappearing. The walls were crumbling, and the ivy was falling off. It was as if the hotel had never existed.

Alice and Tom never spoke of their experience again. They knew that no one would believe them. But they knew the truth, and they knew that the Haunted Hotel of Durres was a place to avoid at all costs. This was an unforgetable experience for them.
