The Room No. 611

The words on the door read "Room No. 611". It had always given people a sense of dread whenever they passed by or looked at the door. No one knew why. It was as if the room held secrets that were too horrible to bear.

The hotel staff had always avoided that room, and if a guest had requested it, they would go to extreme lengths to give them a different room. They would even go as far as saying the room was "under renovation". However, there was never any renovation being done on that room. It was just an excuse to get the guests to take another room.

One night, a young couple checked into the hotel, and the receptionist assigned them to Room No. 611. The couple didn't think anything of it. They were just excited to have a room with an ocean view on their honeymoon. They were finally about to start their new life together.

As they entered the room, they felt a strange energy in the air. It was the feeling of something foreboding. Nonetheless, the couple tried to shake off the uneasy feeling thinking it was probably just due to the long day of travelling.

The couple started to unpack, and as the husband was putting his luggage under the bed, his hand brushed something cold and metallic. Puzzled, he reached down to pick up the object. It was a small, rust-covered box with faded engravings on it.

At first, they could not decipher the engravings. Then, it hit them. They had seen similar engravings in a history museum. It was the engraving of a symbol that had been used by a notorious cult that had wreaked havoc in the area hundreds of years ago.

The couple had to leave the room. It was clear that things were not as they seemed, and they feared the worst.

The husband opened the door, expecting to find the receptionist waiting to hear their complaints about the room, but instead, he found darkness. The hallway was silent, and the illumination from the sconces looked dull and weak. The couple tried to ignore the foreboding atmosphere and headed downstairs to find some help.

The receptionist at the check-in desk was a young girl named Lisa. Her eyes flickered with panic when they approached. The couple told Lisa about the box they had found, and she went pale. She said that there had been strange occurrences in that room in the past. People would often report hearing unexplainable sounds and seeing apparitions. The staff had tried to do everything possible to keep people from checking into that room, but sometimes, under duress, they couldn't do anything to stop it.

Feeling uneasy and out of their depths, the couple decided to stay in a different room. Unfortunately, there were no other rooms available, and they had to return to Room No. 611.

They went back to the room with much trepidation, wondering what they would find. To their surprise, the room appeared to be just like any other hotel room - nothing unusual - the furniture, the bathroom, everything was where they had left it. However, in the center of the room, the small rust-covered box had now been replaced with a beautiful, ornate wooden box.

The husband made the mistake of opening the box, inside he found instructions on how to summon an evil spirit that could grant him anything he desires but at a considerable cost. Fearing the repercussions, he quickly closed the box and put it back where he found it.

As the night wore on, the couple could hear strange sounds coming from the walls. They could hear whispers and footsteps that seemed to come from nowhere. The room grew colder, and the air became thick with an eerie atmosphere.

Suddenly, they were plunged into a darkness so deep that they could not see anything. They could hear doors opening and closing, but it seemed as if they were far away. The couple tried in vain to turn on the lights, but the switches would not work.

The husband tried to use his phone to light up the room, but even that would not work.

Then, as if from nowhere, a cold hand reached out from the darkness and grabbed the wife by the neck. She started screaming, but the hand tightened its grip, and she fell silent. The husband was trying to figure out what was happening, and then he felt something dragging him. He felt the urge to follow it.

The couple found themselves in a small room. It was dark and cold, and they could hear something breathing heavily. As their eyes adjusted to the darkness, they could make out the outline of a figure in the corner. The figure was tall and gaunt, and its eyes were glowing with malice.

The couple could see its sharp claws reaching out for them, and they knew that they had to leave that room immediately, or suffer a fate worse than death.

As they tried to escape, the couple stumbled upon a secret passageway...
