Urban Legends from Motel Rooms

Each Room Has Its Own Story

Every motel room looks the same—until you stay the night.

Behind identical doors and faded curtains, certain rooms carry stories that never checked out. A television that turns on by itself at 2:17 a.m. A knock that comes only once. A room that feels occupied even when the vacancy sign is lit.

Urban Legends from Motel Rooms is a collection of short, atmospheric stories inspired by roadside motels, overnight stays, and places meant to be temporary—but never fully empty. Each chapter centers on a different room, revealing a strange encounter, unexplained event, or quiet horror tied to that space.

These legends are subtle rather than sensational. No jump scares. No overexplaining. Just the lingering discomfort of places where people pass through, leave something behind, and are never completely gone.

Perfect for fans of modern urban legends, psychological horror, and short stories that feel disturbingly possible, this book invites readers to step inside—one room at a time—and decide whether they would stay the night.

Just remember:

Some rooms don’t forget who slept there.
