Among the hustle and bustle of Main Street USA, stands a once grand yet ominous Gothic Victorian building with ornate domed towers, bored up windows and arabesque architecture. The Main Street Grand Hotel was once a thriving tourist destination for it's extended stays, now in a state of disrepair and neglect. Yet somehow we seem to be drawn to this building. Yet dissipate it's decrepit appearance, we seem to be drawn to it, like a siren's allure.
We pass through a plaque that inscribes Main Street Grand Hotel, which is now written over with a paint like substance titled "Hotel Ghostly under new management".
We make our way through the courtyard, with overgrown vegetation and crumbling statues.
We then enter a small hallway and into a lobby of the hotel. While we are waiting, we may notice a few intresting details around the room. Such as luggage that seem to be forgotten, names written down guest in the register book. The doors to the elevator are then finally opened by a castmeber in bellhop uniform that escorts us to the lift that will carry at least 13 or 15 guests.
Inside, the elevator is lavish and orate with light fixtures, wallpaper, and some seated cushions for guests to sit on.
Once guests have assembled inside, the bellhop closes the grated doors and pushes a button that will takes us directly to the upper level of the hotel. The floor starts to shake and light flicker on and off. The elevator comes to a complete stop, yet we have not reached our destination. The bellhop attempts to bring the elevator back in motion. Suddenly, without warning the entire lift is consumed in total darkness then plunges into 10 feet below with a rush and comes to a complete stop.
The bellhop escorts us to a hallway adorned with candle lit sconces and portraits on both sides of the wall.
Turing to the right, we come across a ornate staircase covered with enormous cobwebs that attach from the walls to the furniture. Here we find ourselves waiting to board one of the long line of buggy shaped vehicles, moving ponderously through the dark, forbidden hallways that lay ahead. Once we have seated on our buggy, we an unseen force lowers our safety bar.
We pass under a curtained archway and come across a gallery with four portraits that morph into macabre images of demons and skeletons.
Moving on we find ourselves in the hotel lounge or sitting room. Where invisible spirits are engaged in activities, such as a game of chess, reading a book, sharing a cup of tea or relaxing. An large arm chair rocks back and forth under it's unseen occupant's weight. A group of invisible players can be seen playing a game of poker, the whiff of cigar smokes seem to be coming from within the darkness.
We then find ourselves in the hotel kitchen where it seems to take a live of it's own. Pots and pans clang on the ceiling as poltergeist activity prepares a meal, such as stirring an enormous soup pot on the stove.
We ascended a few flights of stairs to the upper floor of the hotel.
Upon a entering the second floor, we come across a hallway lined with doors on both sides that seems to stretch into infinity. A candelabra hovers in mid air.
Coming up is a grand music salon, furnished with musical instruments, antique sitting furniture and caged raven cawing menacingly at the guests. A shadowy phantom can be seen on the rays of the moon from the large bay window, play the piano, accompanied by a harpist and cellist.
We then journey past through a series of doors lined on both sides,as their knockings and banging can be heard upon the wooden doors. It seem we must have disturbed someone enteral slumber.
Near the end of the corridor, we come across an archway that leads to a hallway lined with doors on both sides that seems to stretch into infinity. A candelabra hovers in mid air.
