Xenodochy. This word means hospitality. But in a scary story, it could be a warped version of it. There's a house in the woods that offers 'xenodochy' but it's really a trap. Travelers who enter seeking shelter are never seen again. The owners of the house have a dark and sinister purpose for luring people in.
