The Other Watcher

A man went to a hotel and walked up to the front desk to check in. The woman at the front desk handed him the keys to his room and informed that on the wat to his room, there was a locked door with no number and no one was allowed in there.

She then went on to explain that it was out of bounds and reminded him several times that he wasn't allowed to enter the unnamed room before letting him go to his room.

The insistence of the woman had piqued his curiosity so instead of heading straight to him room, he took a detour and headed to the room with no numbers.

He tried on the handle, however the handle seemed to be mocking at his inability to pry the door open. He then bent down to look throught the wide keyhole.

Cold air passed through it, chilling his eyes.

What he saw, however, was not a storeroom. It was a hotel bedroom and in the corner of the room, was a woman whose skin was incredibly pale. She was leaning her head against the wall, facing away from the door.He stared in confusion for a while. Was this a celebrity? The owners daughter? As he was complating wether or not to knock on the door, the woman turned sharply and he jumped back from the door, hoping that she would not suspect that he had beeen spying on her. He crept away from the door and made his way to the room.

Th next day, he returned to the room and looked through the wide keyhole.

This time, all he saw was redness. he could not make out anything other than the distinct red colour which wasnt moving. Perhaps the inhabitants of the room knew that he was spying the night before, and had blocked out the keyhole with something red.

He felt embarrassed that he had made the woman uncomfortable and hoped that she had not made a complain with the woman on the front desk. At this point, he decided to consult her for more information.

After some gentle quzzing and the promise that the story would not go further than him, she finally relent and said "Well, I might as well tell you the story of wha happened in that room. A long time ago, a man murdered his wife in there. Up till now, people get uncomfortable staying in the room as they claimed that they had seen the ghost of the woman who was all white except for her eyes, which were all red."
