Hotel zur Alten Stadt
345
In the dim glow of flickering gas lamps, Hotel zur Alten Stadt stands like a reluctant sentinel of Hamburgs past, its creaking floorboards whispering secrets best left unspoken. Shadows writhe in the corners of the narrow hallways, where the mournful figure of a woman in white drifts silently, her sorrow echoing through the air like a forgotten lullaby. Guests, drawn by curiosity, often find their belongings mysteriously rearranged by unseen hands, or are abruptly jolted awake by the sound of phantom footsteps, as if the very walls themselves conspire to keep the dead company.
