My Hotel Room

I'm Jasmine, an 18 year old girl who booked a hotel room for my media course since no one wanted to pair with me.

I arrived at the hotel after college and went to my room to unpack and then I picked up my camera and started hearing really faint noises. I brushed it off thinking it was likely staff or guests outside my room, I filmed all the scenes I needed for my project successfully and was getting ready for bed when I started to hear faint noises again...

So faint that my audio equipment wasn't picking it up and then I heard foot steps so I walked over to the door.. I looked through the peek hole thinking it must be coming from outside of my room but no one was there and then the foot steps got louder and louder like they were coming towards me as I was looking through the peek hole. 

I started to panic while taking several steps back.. I picked up the camera and begun aiming it  at the four corners of the room.. then the bathroom.. I was expecting someone to jump out or at least hoping this would be a really bad prank pulled by someone from the hotel.

Then I saw it! But for some reason the camera didn't capture her, I was so scared that I could feel my blood ran cold; my hairs stood up on their ends and I could not move or as much as scream while I stare at the horror before me.

" Am I going insane? Sleep paralysis? She cannot be real!!" I thought.

She had the face of death, her eyes were lifeless with the look of resentment staring right at me, she slowly approached me and got closer and closer but I couldn't move.. I was frozen in fear.. 

Then suddenly she rushed at me screaming "WHERE IS MY CHILD?!".

After that I remember nothing more and I was more than happy to leave that room in the morning, no one at home is going to believe me.
