It was a dark and spooky night and I was all alone in the old hotel bed. I tried to go to sleep, but I was too scared! My friends had told me too many stories about staying at this hotel, but I wanted to stay here anyways. All of a sudden I heard a rustling sound on the floor. I covered my head with the blanket in fear!
