Owners, servants, hosts, waiters, bellhops, doormen, and guests alike tend to hang around longer than expected in the world's hotels. Deaths by accident and intent have occurred in most of them, it seems. Parties resume in dusty ballrooms, cigar smoke wafts from nowhere, elevators whisk into operation for no one. Footsteps sound through empty hallways. It's like something out of a Stephen King novel... But is it real?
