The Francis Hotel
287
The Francis Hotel loomed like a brooding specter, its Georgian facade weathered by centuries of forgotten whispers and long-ago laughter that had curdled into an unsettling silence. Within its dimly lit corridors, shadow figures flitted just beyond the edge of your vision, and inexplicable chills settled in the corners where the air seemed to conspire against the living. Guests have reported the unsettling sensation of unseen hands rearranging their belongings, leaving them to wonder if they were ever truly alone-each night a new invitation to tread lightly among the remnants of those who had long since departed.
