Urban Legends

Under The Bed

Under The Bed is a scary urban legend about a family who goes on holiday and checks into a 

cheap hotel, only to find a horrible surprise.

A family went on vacation together and checked into a suite at a cheap old hotel. They booked two double rooms, one room for the husband and wife and one for their children.

When they got to their room, they both detected a horrible odor. The husband called down to the front desk and asked to speak to the manager. He explained that the room smelled disgusting and they would like another suite. The manager apologized and told the man that they were all booked because of a convention. But he said he was sending a maid up to their 

room to clean and try and get rid of the odor.

After lunch, the family went back to their rooms. When the kids walked into their room, they could both still smell the same odor. Again the father called the front desk and told the manager that the room still smelled really bad. The manager told the man that there was nothing he 

could do.

So the kids had to spend the night in the room. The girl and the boy held their noses, trying not to breathe in the stink. Eventually, they got to sleep, and in the morning, their parents were 

knocking at the door to wake them up.

When they opened the door, their father smelled the stink and decided he had to get to the bottom of what was causing this horrible smell. So he started searching the entire room for the source of the bad odor. He sniffed the towels, took down the curtains, and checked the carpet. The kids helped out too, checking the bed-clothes and the mattress. As he pulled the top mattress off the bed, the young boy saw a big hole in the box spring base underneath. He looked down into the base of the bed and came face to face with a horrible sight.

There, lying curled up inside the base was the dead body was a woman. The boy realized that he had slept all night just a few inches away from a rotting corpse.
