The Body Under Your Freaking Bed

There’s always that moment of dread when you stick one foot out from under your covers; as you envisage a Paranormal Activity style death being dragged down the stairs. You have an instinctive worry with what’s under your bed from a young age, even though nothing hasever been under there. If that’s the case, you’re one of the lucky ones.

Dead bodies have popped up in hotel beds all over America: Florida, California, Las Vegas, Atlantic City, NJ… it seems there isn’t a state that’s gone without a corpse not checking out. One particularly disturbing case was in 2003, when a guest noticed a foul smell in his room at the Capri Motel, Kansas City, and complained to staff. After three nights of opening windows and no doubt gallons of Febreze, the stench would not leave, causing the poor guest to vomit in the room.

When cleaning crew began shifting furniture to clean the puke, they found the decomposing corpse of a man, wearing only a nun’s wimple and fishnet stockings. To repeat, he slept in that bed for THREE NIGHTS. Shudder.
