So I was listening to Mark & Brian on the radio on my way into work today. One of the two was in Las Vegas over the weekend. He stayed at some hotel (he refused to mention the name on air) and swears it was haunted or something.
Basically, he gets to his room Friday night at like 12:30 AM dead tired and so he hits the hay. Next thing he knows, he is awoken by a strange scratching sound, right at 3:00 AM (a caller later informed them that 3:00 is used in movies and stuff as being the time when spirits/devils do their thing, to mock the Trinity). He immediately sits up in bed and listens, wondering what it is. It appears to be coming from one of the walls, and he figures it might be a mouse or something. He gets up and goes over to it and puts his ear against the wall. As soon as he does that, there is a loud knock from the other side of the wall right where his ear is pressed up against it. Of course this freaks him out so he runs downstairs and asks the receptionist about it. She informs him that no one has been in that adjacent room for two months and he must be delusional.
Sure, he's freaking out right now, but he manages to go back to sleep. The next night, he is again waken by the same scratching noises at the same time: 3:00. This time he doesn't get out of bed. He waits a little bit, and again there is the loud knock on the wall. He's scared out of his mind so he gets in his car and drives home that very night.
Now, if that isn't enough, after telling this story on air, they got a caller who said he thinks he knows what hotel it was at since he claimed the same thing happened to him about two years ago at a Vegas hotel. So he tells them the name of the hotel off air and sure enough, it is the same one.
Another caller of course proposed that it was all a hoax. The hotel knew the guy was a radio host and thus staged it all to get free publicity on air (which wouldn't have worked anyway since the name of the place was never mentioned). While kind of far-fetched, it's still possible, but that certainly doesn't explain the other caller expierencing the same thing two years prior.
So anyway, I'm interested in hearing your theories or if you have any similar experiences.
