"There's a Basement in my Hotel Room I'm on the 15th Floor" Creepypasta

my work requires that I often go on business trips I like the job I like meeting new people I like visiting new cities but for this story that's neither here nor there I had just arrived in Chicago and settled down in a place you probably would call high-class I personally never shell out the exorbitant funds required for these sorts of things but if the company's paying then hey I'm not complaining one night I had come back to my hotel room drunk as hell after a night out with some clients at some point during the early morning hours I went into the bathroom and slipped on some water I fell back into the wall space between the toilet and the shower I stuck out my arm but then my arm actually went straight through the wall I wasn't sure why such a fancy place used such fragile materials for their rooms but this oddity really didn't seem right the fall really wasn't all that hard I couldn't understand how the wall broke so easily I stepped it back staring at the gaping newly formed hole now I wasn't exactly sure how hotels were designed in relation to how much space there is between the rooms but I was under the assumption that they were built side by side if that was the case then there must have now been a hole in my neighbour's closet or something which was rather concerning it was late as hell so I decided to wait until morning to tell him about it so they didn't freak out and think I was some weird creep making holes in their walls the morning came and I knocked on their door they opened up and were mostly understanding about what had happened they then took me around showing me each of their rooms but there was no hole to be found all right I thought to myself don't have to worry about anything there but I still have to tell the front desk or something I wasn't really prepared to pay for the damages to be honest it's not my fault you're so damn cheap with your building you know however I decided to put it off until after all my work was done I came back the following night and took a look at the whole again it was quite large out of curiosity I took my phone flashlight and shine it through the hole if this didn't lead to a room then what was it just random empty space in between the first thing I saw was an old looking notebook lying on the ground interesting I reached in straining my fingertips about managing to pick it up after wiping a thin layer of dust off of it inspected it further it wasn't really distinctive looking just a plain red notebook you could probably buy anywhere but it was the contents inside that were disconcerting it was just page after page of messily scribbled nonsense at least that's what I thought it was at first there was definitely a pattern in the haphazard symbols on the pages though another language maybe I wasn't sure though occasionally there would also be diagrams on some of the pages these were easier to understand but still rather cryptic they looked alike detailed blueprints of a building after a few seconds of looking through it I came to the definitive conclusion that it was the hotel what caught my eye was the 15th floor which was labeled and more clearly than the others there was what looked to be a staircase descending down from one of the rooms cutting through the floors below didn't really show or describe where was supposed to lead the only word at the end of the staircase was Zone C kx9 now I'm not sure how many nope situations you've been in but this probably fits the bill despite that I kept looking through that hole just in case there was anything else and there certainly was with mostly melted candles scattered all around it there was what appeared to be a trapdoor in the center of the floor I felt my blood freeze in my veins was I supposed to deduce that it contained a staircase on the 15th floor eventually I just forced myself to laugh at the absurdity I mean there was no way it was possible right I made a decision right then and there I began tearing down the wall some more just so that I had enough space to crawl through into the hidden room it really wasn't much bigger than a walk-in closet unfurnished wooden floors walls and a ceiling with that weird trapdoor in the middle I took a moment of hesitation before opening it I mean if it really did contain a staircase there was no chance in hell I was going down there I reached down and grabbed the metal handle feeling around for any kind of padlock there wasn't any so I finally lifted the handle now really knowing what to expect there was only blackness at first and then I shined in my light into it stairs there were actually stairs inside of this trapdoor it shocked me so much that I instinctively closed it I said there for a moment astounded I started believing that it was just some weird illusion with that in mind I opened it up again and carefully stuck my hand down past the threshold they really were stairs I spent the next few hours trying to figure out what could have been underneath my room I asked around did the research and even went down a floor to see for myself but everything yielded the same conclusion it was just supposed to be another room I knocked on the door of the person that I had mapped out to be right below me but nobody answered defeated I went back to my room to do some research online however I could find no similar experiences posted in this situation I did the one thing I thought was appropriate I went to my coworker Jacobs room and told him about it at first he was a bit bothered that I was knocking on his door at 1:00 a.m. but I knew he'd be interested in this he was one of those brash paranormal aficionado guys a bit annoying at times but I'd say we were friendly enough after I had explained the situation to him he let out a sceptical and somewhat obnoxious groan he's still elected to come check it out though during the walk up I was slightly concerned that it was going to be one of those situations where the whole room disappears or something but when we got to my bathroom it was still there still weird as ever when I opened it up and revealed the stairs I could see a look of shock spread across Jacobs face I doubt he ever actually experienced anything paranormal before despite all the stories he always tells this was uncharted territory for the both of us we mused for a few hours deliberating on whether or not to go down well it was actually just Jacob trying to convince me to go down with him come on I remember him telling me what a story this would make for whatever reason he was adamant about going through with this insane stunt eventually I agreed to go down ten steps and then right back up just to see what was going on and to put a stop to his begging we turned on our flashlights and he went first as soon as my body descended into whatever the hell this place was I could feel the atmosphere shift around me hard to explain but it wasn't like when your ears pop at high altitudes it was similar yet different I went down the 10 steps that I had promised before stopping and analysed my surroundings it wasn't like I could see much anyways though it was just dark incomprehensible II dark I watched as Jacob continued further and further down are you sure this is a good idea I said to him none of this makes any sense he had gone probably eight steps further than I before turning to reply to me dude this is crazy you coming screw that I told him what is this place as I said this his expression changed from amusement to concern what is it I asked him did you hear that he replied I strained my ears trying to figure out what he was referring to it was faint but their water I couldn't really tell if it sounded more like somebody was sloshing around in ankle-deep water or if they were actually swimming down there but it was extremely far down causing me to wonder how deep this place actually was and then Jacob did the stupidest thing anybody could have done in that scenario he yelled out who's down there on there and in the near utter silence of this apparently massive room the echo seemed to carry it endlessly it was quiet after that extremely quiet no more movement whatever was down there had reacted what happened next nearly gave me a heart attack heavy what footsteps began sprinting up the stairs they were still faint at first but they increased at an inhuman pace Jacob and I followed suit scrambling the hell back of the staircase ourselves in the commotion I had dropped the notebook on the steps as I panicked we crashed back into the room closing the trap door behind us as soon as we did this the footsteps ceased but we didn't have peace of mind yet there was no lock on the trapdoor and the door itself wasn't very heavy Jacob quickly lugged the coffee table through the washroom back into the hidden room and then placed it upside down pinning the trapdoor shut after that we just stood there breathless we glanced at each other both of our minds probably on the same page we still had three more days left on this business trip I didn't really get much sleep that night even after I barricaded the bathroom door with the dresser I kind of wish that I hadn't dropped that book back there maybe I could have analyzed it further uncovering any possible answers to what we had experienced but for obvious reasons I don't think going back down there is the best idea right now [Music]
