• From peepholes to a severed hand, we count ten of the creepiest things found in hotel
rooms!
10 – Severed Hand, • It’s pretty common for people to leave
clothes or books behind when they check out of a hotel.
But you’d have to pretty distracted to forget that severed hand you have in your possession.
• That’s right: staff at a hotel in Flint, Michigan found an actual severed human hand
under a bed while cleaning.
It turned out that the owner of the hand had been murdered during a failed drug deal and
the mobsters responsible had accidentally left it behind.
• Maybe it was a like a weird souvenir for the hotel staff, or like a really shitty tip?
Either way, don’t follow their example.
Stick to leaving one-star reviews on Trip Advisor.
9 – Breast Implants, • Some guests checking into a London hotel
discovered something a little creepier than a complimentary chocolate.
Sitting there on the freshly made bed was a pair of human breast implants.
• The guests immediately thought they’d stumbled into the aftermath of a psychotic
surgeon’s murdering spree, but it turned out the woman the breast implants belonged
to had misplaced them while on her way to get plastic surgery.
• I bet she felt like a right boob when she realised they were missing.
8 – Diary, • The owner of a bed and breakfast found
quite possibly the creepiest old battered notebook you could ever hope to find.
It was hidden under a mattress and it was Salad Fingers’ diary!
The man started to read it and realised sleep wouldn’t be coming anytime soon.
• The spooky notebook detailed a strange and unsettling obsession its owner had with
… salad.
It had forty-one pages of poems, explicit descriptions, salad dressing recipes and even
pasted-in leaf textures.
The journal looked like it had been kept for several years and the author seemed to believe
that salad – the object of their intense affection – was actually alive.
• Look, salad’s great and everything, but lettuce take a moment to reflect on how
disturbed this person is.
I mean, we all know you can’t exactly make friends with salad…
7 – Peepholes, • This one will strike a chord with fans
of Hitchcock’s Psycho.
A Canadian couple found a hidden peephole in the wall of their luxury Mexican hotel
room.
I know, I know… I thought this only happened in Scooby Doo cartoons too.
• Sarah Edwards knew something was wrong the day they checked in.
She said she felt like someone other than her smitten husband was watching her shower,
and heard strange noises, like a latch opening.
It turned out the shower backed onto a utility closet, where one pervy janitor had decided
to perform some secret renovations.
• Definitely not a great place to spend your one-year anniversary.
Unless you’re kinky exhibitionists.
Just tell ’em Pervy Pete sent you.
6 – Dead Animals, • Some brave hotel cleaning staff investigating
an odour complaint found something that just about made ’em turn vegetarian.
The guests staying there had left a half-skinned deer in the bathtub and strung dead fish all
over the room.
• Come on guys!
I know the hotel said it was ‘animal friendly’, but that means like a dog or a cat, or possibly
a well-trained spider monkey.
It doesn’t mean bring trophies from your recent hunting trip!
• I mean, I’m pretty sure the hotel would’ve had a clause about mutilated deer corpses.
This is small-town America we’re talking about.
5 – Cardboard Kate Middleton, • Meanwhile, on the other side of the ocean,
a guest staying at England’s Premier Inn left behind some royally strange items.
• These included: eighteen masks of the Queen Mother, thirty-six Union Jack flags,
twelve Prince Philip masks – not that anyone would even recognise him – a super creepy
life-size cut-out of the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton.
• It’s possible these items were leftover from the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebration.
But I think we all know they were from a coked-up royal-themed orgy.
4 – Blow-Up Doll, • A hotel attendant discovered a regular
guest was having an affair – with a blow-up doll!
• From a long time the guest had checked in every week and he always wanted the same
room.
The hotel staff suspected he was running some sort of crazy drug operation, so they performed
a thorough search of his room one day after he’d checked out.
• Instead of drugs, they find the found the strange guest’s inflatable lover hidden
under the mattress.
After performing three exorcisms, the staff threw the doll away.
The guest came back as per his routine, found the doll was gone and … never stayed there
again.
3 – Dead Body, • The cleaning staff at a Pasadena hotel
are so terrible at their jobs that they failed to notice a murdered guest’s rotting corpse
hidden under the bed.
• Guests in other rooms complained multiple times about the foul smell coming out of that
room before staff properly inspected it and found decomposing human remains.
• The really messed up part is that the next guests that checked in after the murder
put up with the horrible smell the whole night because they didn’t want to be a bother
and complain.
2 – Creepy Note, • A Twitter user wanting a relaxing weekend
away was instead made to live through the beginnings of a horror movie.
During a stay at an upscale Edinburgh hotel, the guest opened the drawer and found a creepy
note in place of the usual bible.
• The note said ‘Don’t open the locked door!
Don’t trust its whispers!
Leave, just leave.’
• The door the note referred to just so happened to face the guest’s bed, so you
can imagine the sort of high-quality sleep she got that night.
1 – Escape Marks, • Some hotel experiences are so bad you
can’t wait to go home.
A guest at Louisville’s Galt House definitely had such an experience.
• They were so desperate to leave that they left puncture marks all over the door and
lock – almost as if something was preventing them from leaving…
• Nothing like checking into a hotel and finding signs of the last guest’s attempted
escape to make you feel warm and welcome.
