In the dimly lit corridors of Hotel Villa Maria, whispers coil through the air like tendrils of fog, a disquieting echo of conversations long buried, urging guests to listen closely, to remember what should have been forgotten. Cold spots linger in the shadowy corners of the 19th-century rooms, as if the very walls exhale a chill that seeps into bones, feeding the uneasy feeling that they are not alone, but rather, surrounded by spectral figures forever trapped in their own despair. Those who brave the night often find themselves staring into the abyss of their own fear, pondering what unseen eyes watch from the darkness, what dread awaits at the turn of every creaking floorboard.

The Hotel Palazzo Caracciolo, a once-majestic relic of the 16th century, stands shrouded in the lingering scent of damp stone and despair, its cavernous hallways echoing with whispers of long-buried secrets. As guests settle in, the chill of unseen eyes pierces through the oppressive air, where the soft sound of footsteps dances just beyond the threshold of their rooms, leaving them to wonder who- or what- still roams these haunted corridors, eternally tethered to a past they can never escape. Each night draws the living deeper into a suffocating dread, as if the hotel itself is holding its breath, waiting for another soul to join its spectral host.
