What are some of the scariest things that can happen during hotel check in?

Meeting strange people. During a school trip to a city, if you come across some people who act in a really odd or menacing way. They might follow you or say strange things. It makes you feel very unsafe and ruins the whole school trip experience.

Getting attacked by wild animals is quite scary. If you're in a remote area doing land surveying, you might encounter bears, wolves or snakes. For example, a surveyor was once bitten by a venomous snake while working in a field. He had to be rushed to the hospital immediately.

Being alone in a large building can be quite frightening. There are so many dark corners and empty rooms. You might feel like you're not alone even though you know you are. I worked in an old office building on the night shift. The hallways were long and dimly lit. I always had the feeling that something was lurking in the shadows. It was so nerve - wracking that I could hardly focus on my work.

One funny thing is when the TV in the hotel room has a mind of its own. I was trying to change the channel and it just kept switching back to a soap opera no matter what I did. Another is when you open the mini - bar and find the strangest items like pickled eggs or some really old - fashioned candies.

Well, sometimes you can find really cool artworks on the walls. I once stayed in a hotel where each room had a different local artist's painting. It was like having a mini art gallery in my room.

One funny thing is when the TV remote has some really strange buttons or doesn't work properly. I was in a hotel room once and the volume button on the remote would only go up, not down. So I had to keep unplugging the TV to turn it off and on again to adjust the volume.

The scariest could be the sudden transformation of the peaceful festival into a nightmarish realm. For example, the words from the books start floating in the air and turn into sharp objects that attack people.

One really scary thing that can happen while babysitting is when the power goes out unexpectedly. It's dark, and the babysitter has to keep the children calm while also being worried about what might be lurking in the darkness. Another is if the babysitter finds some strange symbols drawn on the walls by the kids, but the kids claim they didn't do it. It gives a very eerie feeling. Moreover, if the phone lines go dead while babysitting and there's no way to call for help in case of an emergency, that's also quite terrifying. For instance, if there was a strange noise outside and the babysitter couldn't call anyone for assistance.

Getting stuck in a natural disaster like an earthquake or a flood while traveling is terrifying. I was in a coastal town when a tsunami warning was issued. Everyone was running for higher ground. The chaos and the fear in people's eyes were overwhelming.

Well, a lot of hotels have great art on display. You can walk around and admire the paintings or sculptures. For example, I once stayed at a hotel that had a collection of local artists' work. It was really fascinating to see the different styles and interpretations of the area's culture through art.
