1408 Page #2

Synopsis: The cynical and skeptical writer Mike Enslin writes books evaluating supernatural phenomena in hotels, graveyards and other haunted places, usually debunking the mystery. While writing his latest book, he travels from Los Angeles to New York to spend one night in the Dolphin Hotel's posessed room 1408, which is permanently unavailable for guests. The reluctant manager Mr. Gerald Olin objects to his request and offers an upgrade, expensive booze and finally relates the death of more than fifty guests over decades in the cursed room. However Mike threatens Mr. Olin, promising to sue the hotel, and is finally allowed to check into the room. Later in the night, he finds that guests of room 1408, once they have checked in, might never leave the room alive.

Died without any god,

- Then I won't convince him.

- I think we are understanding each other.

Very well, it comes with me.

- I never used the ghost word.

- I feel a lot, spirits, spectra.

- He/she understood me badly.

What is that he/she has

What then?

It is a damned room. Please.

He/she thought that there were only

closed the room.

The main concern

it is of protecting the personnel.

As he/she didn't say

that there is a 13rd floor.

The room should be dirty, the sheets

they are not changed there are years.

No, we are very professional.

I supervise the cleaning.

And if he/she works in couple, it is treated as

if it went a poisonous gas chamber.

Only for 10 minutes and I insist that the

door is open.

And that is everything.

There are some years ago an employed youth

he/she was arrested in the bathroom.

It was only there during some minutes

It is only a room.

So much for anything.

This room is...

...the hotel is full of histories

on creatures, it is a good lie.

But I ask myself if it exists

something of truth like this. He/she sounds something family.

Yes, I am in the walk...

...and it is safe.

There is a closet of old style.

Good wallpaper, the

rugs are with stains.

It is as if they were wet,

and to I square was restored...

It is a lost ship in the sea.

This form decoration

impeccable and even foolish.

The second painting is an old one

While other boy if
