Room 7 is never a popular room choice here at Copthorne hotel, most nights it is left in cold darkness, unocupied. And i suppose the main reason that is, would be because of the unsettling myth that that goes around here, 2 years aibgo a tall, slim, pretty looking woman with long dark hair checked in here at copthorne hotel, one night was all she planned on staying for. She never said much when she was checking in, i just gave her the room key for room 7 and off she went, hours went by and not a single sound came from room 7, untill the next morning when i heard a loud frightening scream coming from the room! I rushed in the direction of the scream and was confronted by our hotel cleaner, mary. She was very shook up and she screamed "THERES A BODY IN ROOM 7" so i enterd the room and right enough, there infront of my very own eyes was the body of the tall, beautifull woman who had checked in yesterday just hanging by a rope tied to a hook on the ceiling! Her eyes were still wide open and looking directly into my eyes! I felt sadness and pain,
Miniutes later the police arrived for the body. No one knows why the woman decided to take her life, and this was the first time such an event has ever occured here at the copthorne hotel, all the residents were shocked by the news. Over the next few nights severall residents had been making complaints about noise coming from room 7, which i thought was impossible seeing as the room was out of use after the catastraphy that took place in there a few days ago. One night i was working late and was just about to leave the hotel when i heard loud thumping noises coming from upstairs, where room 7 is located... I nervously went to check out what was going on up there and once i got to the hallway where the rooms are i noticed that the door to room 7 was open!! I felt fear but had no choice other than to walk into the room and see what was goung on in there! I reached my hand in first to turn on the light and as i enterd the room i was in shock to see the same body of the woman still hanging by a rope attached to the ceiling, her body was swaying back and forth thumping against the wall! I was in total shock and couldnt believe what i was seeing here! I ran out of the room to call the police and they arrived soon after, the news they were about to tell me would haunt me forever...
"we have just checked out the room" said one of the officers.
"and there is NO body in there" he said.
"THATS IMPOSSIBLE" i said, and the officers waked with me back to the room, and i'll be damned, they were right! The room was empty!!! No body! No nothing! I couldnt believe it!
" your looking tired " said the officer to me, " you should go home and rest "
To this day i tell myself what i saw that night must have been my imagination.
Room 7 is never used anymore, and i still get the odd complaint by residents about noise coming from room 7, which leads me to the question... Is room 7 REALLY UNOCUPIED?

very good. You should continue it, like with another incident that happens with Room 7. Like maybe someone gets checked into the hotel and they don'tknow about what happened in Room 7, so they go in there and check it out when somethings happens???
