Sweetie, no one has worked in that elevator since the early 90s.
You looked like you saw a ghost.
No, he replied.
Thought.is
We get a lot ofreports that ghostsstill walking around this hotel haunting the place.
I wouldnt go up to room 314 after dark if I were you.
I walked away asking my dad about it.
Thought.is
You tell a nine-year-old something and they believe it.
Hes just trying to scare you.
Well, I dont believe in ghosts, I replied.
But for that week it sat in the back of my head.
What was in that room after it got dark?
Probably nothing I thought.
Yes maam, he replied.
Only one way to find out isnt there?
Im George, nice to meet you.
I exited to my floor.
And thought about what he said.
The next night before dinner, I looked twice at the hotels old elevator not many people used.
I thought for a minute about using the main one but instead, I used that one.
A couple exited and I stepped on alone pushing three.
Level Two.
Level Three
And just as I approached the third floor the lights went out and the elevator stopped.
Lights flickering on and off I continued to push the lobby button but it was stuck.
Then I started to cry, reaching for the red phone.
Im in the elevator, I said screaming into the phone.
The woman on the other end told me to remain calm and it would be okay.
I then went to the receptionist.Excuse me, do you know where the man who works the elevator is?
She looked at me puzzled.Sweetie, no one has worked in that elevator since the early 90s.
You looked like you saw a ghost.
I walked away heading to dinner, believing every ghost story I ever heard from that day on.
