Hotel El Indio loomed at the edge of Otavalo like a forgotten relic, its weathered stone walls echoing with the whispers of ancestral voices, their mournful cries intertwining with the haunting strains of distant panpipes that seemed to seep from the very bowels of the earth. Guests often stumbled upon shadowy figures clad in tattered woven garments, their vacant eyes locking onto souls as if to beckon them to join the endless dance of the dead; those who lingered too long found themselves trapped in a twilight realm, where time twisted and the air thickened with a sense of impending doom. Leaving the hotel was not always a choice, for sometimes, it was the hotel that decided who would remain.

In the heart of Guayaquil, Hotel Boutique Casa de Romero stands like a mausoleum dressed in faded elegance, its peeling walls whispering the secrets of long-gone residents who never truly left. Guests have reported echoes of laughter mingling with the creaking floorboards, shadows slipping just out of sight, and the chilling sensation of cold air spiraling from nowhere as objects-glasses, books, even furniture-shift unnaturally in the dim light, as if orchestrated by unseen hands. Those who dare to stay find themselves haunted not just by the hotels history, but by a primal dread that gnaws at their sanity, leaving them questioning whether they are the occupants, or merely the latest offerings to a restless past.
