The Haunted Hotel Room

Will you volunteer to stay there?

The Haunted Hotel Room

Within these walls, a tale unfolds,

Of whispers faint and shadows cold.

A room where time forgets to flow,

Where unseen footsteps come and go.

The air hangs thick, a heavy sigh,

A chill beneath the midnight sky.

The creak of floors, the groan of doors,

A presence felt, forever yours.

The mirror’s face reflects the past,

Ghostly figures fleeting, fast.

A candle flickers, though unlit,

As if by unseen hands, it’s lit.

The clock strikes twelve, the room turns cold,

A time when spirits are reborn.

They drift through walls, they hum, they wail,

Each one with its forgotten tale.

So dare you stay and face the gloom,

Of this haunted hotel room?

For those who linger, want you to fear,

The secrets held where ghosts stand ear

It your choice to stay or leave how,

Get out while you can, run away

Forget this hotel and your stay this night

Tomorrow they will be gone by day lights call
