The Hilton Cardiff
283
The Hilton Cardiff looms in the heart of the city like a haggard monument to forgotten revelries, its grand ballroom echoing with whispers of an era long past. Guests, lured by the elegance of its chandeliers, often find themselves unnerved by the flickering lights that dance in concert with the inexplicable sounds of laughter, a mirthless dirge that belies the ghostly figure in period clothing gliding through the shadows, her eyes hollow and searching. And as the clock strikes midnight, those who linger too long in the stillness report a shiver creeping down their spines, a knowing that something, or someone, watches from the corners of the darkened room.
