Sometimes, a person comes across short ghost stories that make them never want to leave their house.
It was very late at night when a man pulled off the highway and parked his car at a small hotel near Kiev, Ukraine.
Weary with exhaustion, the man shuffled his way to the lobby and asked the woman at the front desk if there were any available rooms.
The woman replied that they did have one room still free that night.
As she handed the key over to the man, she gave him a strange look. “Listen, sir,” she said quietly. “There is a room across from yours that doesn’t have a room number on the door.
This room is always locked, and I advise that you steer clear of it. Don’t even peek in, okay?” Puzzled, but too tired to protest, the man agreed and took his room key.
The man quickly fell asleep but woke up to the sound of trickling water. After checking the sink and the bathtub in the room, the man realized the sound was coming from the unmarked room across the hall.
At first, the man tried to ignore it, but the dripping sound kept him awake.
Agitated, the man opened his room door and walked across the hall. The man wrapped his knuckles against the door, but nobody responded. Peering through the peephole, the only thing the man saw was the color red.
Angry and sleep-deprived, the man returned to the lobby and asked the woman at the front desk about the unmarked room.
The woman told him that once, a couple had checked into that room. Sometime during the night, the husband had woken up and had murdered his wife. “Her skin was all white,” the woman said. “Except for her eyes, which were all red.”
