The Girl On The Second Floor

Welcome to The Atlantic Hotel in Berlin, Maryland-a grand 1895 Victorian landmark where the history is rich, the ghosts are restless, and the rules don't quite apply after midnight.

For generations, guests and locals have whispered about the little girl who haunts the second-floor hallway, her phantom red rubber ball echoing through the wooden corridors. Most people check out in a panic or try to scold her into silence. But Leo Vance, a cynical corporate manager hired to modernize the fading hotel, refuses to buy into the local folklore. He's here to fix a failing business, not coddle a ghost.

Enter Clara, a sharp-tongued local historian whose family ties to the hotel run deeper-and darker-than Leo could ever imagine. Forced to work together to unearth the building's secrets and quiet the supernatural disturbances, the friction between them quickly turns into an electric, slow-burn tension.

The ghost isn't just trying to scare them. She's trying to send a message. And as the line between the past and present blurs, Leo and Clara will discover that some secrets refuse to stay buried beneath the floorboards.

Will they survive the night, or will they become part of the hotel's permanent history?
