In the dim light of the Hotel Otavalo, where centuries of whispered secrets cling to the walls like cobwebs, the air thrummed with an unsettling silence, punctuated only by the soft shuffle of unseen feet echoing in the empty hallways. Shadows flickered at the periphery of vision, coalescing into indistinct forms that seemed to watch, to linger just beyond the threshold of the rooms, as if waiting for the unwitting guests to invite them back into the world of the living. Those who dared to stay the night spoke of restless whispers curling around their ears, an eerie chorus of voices that beckoned them closer to a truth better left untouched, turning the sanctuary of slumber into a malevolent playground of the forgotten

La Casa Verde loomed in the heavy mist of Banos, its peeling green paint whispering secrets to the wind, where shadows danced in every flickering light and cold spots gnawed at the skin like icy fingers tracing the walls. Guests spoke in hushed tones of spectral figures drifting through the narrow halls, their sorrowful eyes glinting with stories of the past, while unseen presences wrapped around them like a shroud, leaving only the echo of a breath behind. It wasn't just the legends that lingered, but an insidious awareness that something watched, waiting for the right moment to slip into the waking world once more.
