Haunted Hotel


I’ve been living in Rogers Arkansas since I was 7 years old, I am currently 17. We have a small town here called Eureka Springs. And there are 2 famous haunted hotels there, the Basin and Crescent hotels.

About 3 summers ago when I was 14, my family and I took a trip to Eureka Springs. We stayed there all day. We eventually begged my dad to take us to the Crescent hotel for a tour. The tour started at 9:20 pm and we were there since 7. I cannot explain the feeling it gave me, walking into the hotel. I felt uncomfortable, and felt as if somebody was watching me.

We ate dinner at the hotel’s restaurant. The hotel is very old and the elevators made a ‘squeak’ sound when operating. The hotel back in the 1800’s, I believe, was a hotel for cancer patients. The doctors would experiment on them, and due to this most died. The doctors were horrible people, and took advantage of the sick. After the hospital was shut down, it was turned into a hotel. Many people had committed suicide in the hotel, and there was even a little girl who fell down the beginning of a staircase straight down to the floor close to the lobby. She eventually died.

During the tour they took us around the hotel while sharing stories of what had occurred. Everything seemed to be going smoothly, but I still felt a bit uncomfortable. The tour was coming to an end, so the tour guide took us down to what used to be a morgue (where they kept the dead bodies) back when the hotel was a hospital. It was really creepy and dark in there. The tour guide then asked if anybody was willing to go into the fridge where they kept bodies. My mom and I and 2 other ladies volunteered.

He put us in there with the lights off and door shut. After 15 seconds after I got in, I felt a push in my chest. I couldn’t breathe so I banged on the door, and when I got out I felt better. But at this point I was terrified. I wanted to leave but we couldn’t.

The tour guide then shut off all the lights and started questioning the spirits. Behind me was a room full of books and chairs, and a desk with a computer. All of the tourists were in a circle, and then right after the 3rd question, I felt something grab my leg. I jumped and screamed while another girl screamed as well. Behind me I heard something scrap into the floor and when the tour guide turned on the lights, it was the same chair that had been in the room behind me. The other girl who had also screamed had scratches on her stomach.
It still gives me chills talking about this and I would definitely go back. However, I’m scared as hell and since then I have believed in spirits.

Ghost Hunters has an episode about the hotel I went to: the Crescent Hotel. And they had gathered some evidence as well.

A Wish Come True (A Short Story)

I woke up with a start when I found myself in a very unfamiliar place. The bed I was lying on was grand—an English-quilting blanket and 2 soft pillows with flowery laces. The whole place was fit for a king! Suddenly the door opened and there stood my dream prince: Katsuya Kimura! I gasped in astonishment for he was actually a cartoon character. I did not know that he really exist. “Wake up, dear,” he said and pulled off the blanket and handed it to a woman who looked like the maid. “You will be late for work.” “Work?” I asked. “Yes! Work! Have you forgotten your own comic workhouse, baby dear?” Comic workhouse?! I…I have became a cartoonist? That was my wildest dreams! Being a cartoonist! I undressed and changed into my beige T-shirt and black trousers at once and hurriedly finished my breakfast. Katsuya drove me to the workhouse. My, my, was it big! I’ve never seen a bigger place than this! Katsuya kissed me and said, “See you at four, OK, baby?” I blushed scarlet. I always wan...

Hans and Hilda

Once upon a time there was an old miller who had two children who were twins. The boy-twin was named Hans, and he was very greedy. The girl-twin was named Hilda, and she was very lazy. Hans and Hilda had no mother, because she died whilst giving birth to their third sibling, named Engel, who had been sent away to live wtih the gypsies. Hans and Hilda were never allowed out of the mill, even when the miller went away to the market. One day, Hans was especially greedy and Hilda was especially lazy, and the old miller wept with anger as he locked them in the cellar, to teach them to be good. "Let us try to escape and live with the gypsies," said Hans, and Hilda agreed. While they were looking for a way out, a Big Brown Rat came out from behind the log pile. "I will help you escape and show you the way to the gypsies' campl," said the Big Brown Rat, "if you bring me all your father's grain." So Hans and Hilda waited until their father let them out, ...
