I stayed there a week ago, just having a nice in-town stay with a friend for the Laura Ramoso show at the Fifth Ave. I got off the elevator on the 8th floor and immediately felt somebody watching and following me. I turned around, nobody there. This feeling seemed to originate from the large suite at the end of the hall with the big double door. My room was far away from that fancy suite, room 860 with a sliding door for the bedroom. I opened all the curtains and turned on all the lights but it still had an odd baseline darkness. My friend and I went to the show, then enjoyed room service and some wine when we got back. She had the room next to mine. As soon as I got into bed, the image of the bedroom door sliding open kept recurring in my mind. I wanted to leave it open but somehow that felt even worse. I felt like there was somebody standing there watching. Anytime I was about to drift off, I was afraid I would be touched or grabbed. I didn’t sleep until 7am. When I finally slept, I dreamed that my whole body was buzzing painfully and that my soul was being pulled out of my body. I fought and screamed and tried to stop it. There were also images of the room itself actively trying to scare me. Horrible things in mirrors, odd angles, strange light / darkness and an overall sense of dread and anger. I woke up exhausted at about 10. I’ve had these experiences before but not for many many years. This one was especially bad. I wish I’d asked the staff before I left. I had a late checkout so I had a bite to eat then went to try to enjoy the spa for a little bit. After checkout I had a drink at the bar, and again neglected to ask the staff about this. I know it’s an old hotel, and I’ve felt things like this before at old hotels. Sometimes, that’s just part of the bargain. I love that hotel, I stayed there about 20 years ago with no problem, but after this I have no desire to ever go back. Anybody else have weird stuff happen there? submitted by /u/neverenoughfiddles |
