If you've ever watched the movie "Four Rooms" you'll get why I'm afraid of hotels.

I knew I should have buried that...

^

Doesn't anyone change the sheets in this motel? How about the huge bump made by a body? I wouldn't be tipping the maids, that's for sure. And how couldn't the man feel that something was under his mattress? It's not The Princess and the Pea we're talking about here!

eww!

thats spookly

Actually Jeenuh, this article says 'motel.' I'd rather trust a hotel more than a cheap motel place.

*shivers* eww...

Is this true??

I've seen lots of variations on this.Sometimes they find a man AND a womans body, and at other times the body is under bed, not the mattress.I doubt it's real

It seems like an urban legend to me...One inspired by the movie mentioned, Four Rooms. There is a scene that takes place that is very similar to the story.
BTW, if ya never seen it, go rent it, buy it or whatever. That flik is very funny.

I am pretty sure this story is just an urban legend no more than that.
PS: I am hoping!!!!

Yeah the one i heard was that a guy found a man and womans body. That story is gross

Several movies are based on urban ledgends, although I can't think of any right now. If you had bothered to read the link, Snopes.com says that it is real, and provides several other instances.



The body is under the mattress IN the boxspring, thus the bed has no bump and most people don't move the mattress to change sheets, they just tuck the edges under the mattress.

Don't misbehave....

LOL

Their is a guy killed in one of the nightmare on elm street, i think it's the fourth, when is mom come to wake him up, he's inside his waterbed... maybe it has roots in your legend.

hmm how nice lol

this is a great time for will smiths cheesy ass line

a chew ::im just allergic to bullshit ::

This story I am going to tell was told to me by a guy I went to college with. He wasn't known as being a liar, and he claimed that he was telling the truth. I'll let you all decided.

He told me of a time he and his high school class went to Kansas City for a senior trip. In one of the motel rooms there was a bad smell coming from under the bed. It turned out to be a dead prostitute. The police were called and the class was given another room. He said it wasn't his room, but it still weirded him and everyone else out.

I gotta agree.....

Hmmm, what a pleasent surprise to find in your hotel room. I would much rather those chocolate mint thingys they leave on your pillow.

Agreed.

Everybody, learn the lesson here: when there is a foul odor in a hotel room, refuse to stay in that room (or at least have it checked out).

lovely

i wonder how he can handle that foul odor...

guy: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

*falls through hole in bed*

guy: hey! theres a corpse in here!

wife: *faints*

Imagine if the body had been there for a month or 2. tht would smell awful.

What if it was there for 10 years!It would be dust or bits

coldheartedmonkey thats discusting.

Thats pretty sick.

Very. I hope it's not true...


Wow. I thought I was the only one who had problems with that. It's nice to know someone else is experiencing what you are going through...




I don't really hide bodies etc

RoFL, I've heard of this.. very funny. Personally, I thinks its quite possible for it to happen, and probably has, but you've got nothing to worry about. ..


*chuckles*.. Urban legends are just so funny...

but wouldnt the notice when the lifted the cover*, dived on** or almost died of smell***?



*= lifts cover to reaveal hole in bed and mark around in bed clothes
**= self explanitary
***= the consious one would be able to smell the corpse from the bed. and the hallway. and stairs. and main foyer. and car. and......

And the whole story started as a dead mouse under the bed. as the whisper is carried on and on it turned to be a dead man...then a dead man and women.....then a call girl....next month it will be a dead horse under the bed......even the Lock Ness monster.............wait the dinosaurs they were extinct cuz they got trapped under the bed. But still it could be true.

That's gross

It's probably not true though.

Someone probably wrote the story to scare people

How horrible. I bet he had about 15 showers after finding that out.

this makes me relativley uneasy, especialy becuase snopes calims it as true.

I've got a book on Urban Legends (Fat book too) so I've heard many of the variations of these stories. The most common one, though, involves a newlywed couple that goes into a hotel, and the body they find is that of a prostitute.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but seriously, this is my biggest fear haha. I won't stay in a hotel by myself, and I ALWAYS lift the matress and check the bed. I was just staying in North Bergen, NJ (where Richard Kuklinski hid a body under a mattress in the 80's) and I was freaked out the entire trip (but then I found out that it wasn't the same hotel, thank god. But North Bergen isn't that big so until someone told me I wasn't sure).

that story is hilarious!How gullible do the people who make this stuff up think the rest of the population are!

well snopes (a site aimed at debunking urban legends) claims it to be true. This is one urban legend I could actually see happening.

Actually this has happened quite a few times... there are lots of articles about it, but again, the most famous is the Richard Kuklinski case. It's pretty scary.

Do you have a link to the Richard Kuklinski case?

This incident is real. It is recorded in a book known as 'Tabloid Tokyo 101 Tales of Sex, Crime and the Bizarre from Japan's Wild Weeklies', inside contaning some of Japan’s wildest tabloid and weekly magazine articles.

In Tabloid's tale 12, successive women sleep in a love hotel bed under which lies a body. Not one notices the lumps in the mattress.
