In the dimly lit corridors of The Old Town Chambers, whispers of the 15th century linger like an uninvited guest, curling around the flickering lights that tremble as if flinching from unseen eyes.

Some say that once you settle into your room, you can feel the weight of history pressing down, and those who dare to close their eyes may find themselves caught in a waking nightmare, where the shadows dance and the air grows thick with dread.

Those who have retired to their rooms often awaken in the dead of night, their breaths coming in shudders, as inexplicable shadows flit just beyond the periphery, reminding them that some tales never truly end
