Episode 3: "Room for One More"

Seven floors. One hundred and twelve rooms. One person at the front desk after midnight.

In this episode we hear from Mara — a night shift hotel clerk who spent two years working the overnight at a mid-range hotel in the southeast. She knew that building the way you only know a place after hundreds of nights alone inside it.

Which is why she noticed when something changed.

It started with her own handwriting. Log entries she didn't remember writing. A room number that kept appearing. A room that didn't exist.

Room 714.

Then the calls started.
