Klappentext zu „Horror Hotel “
Chrissy has always been able to see ghosts, and when her friend Chase realized it he turned her affliction into an internet sensation, with the help of Emmaline, the technology expert and Kiki, the presenter; now they are planning to film an episode in an infamously haunted hotel in Los Angeles, but they may be tackling something really dangerous because Chrissy is seeing the terrifying shadow man who started appearing to her when her mother was dying of cancer--and there is an internet troll who keeps sending death threats to the group.

Die, you pig-faced bitch !
Damn it, Kiki, we told you to never read the comments. Chase scolds Kiki without looking up from the video he s editing with intense focus.
Do I have a pig face? When Kiki looks up from her phone, she s near tears. She s the most sensitive soul on planet Earth. Also, somehow, the most lovable.
Emmaline sucks in a deep breath to suppress an eye roll, her fingers tightening on the EMF detector she s fiddling with. Emma is thick-skinned, with steel guts. She s smart as hell and will go to any school she wants next year. No doubt one of the Ivies.
This ghost detector is an Emma brainchild, just like a lot of our gear. Apparently, this one uses electromagnetic frequencies to spell out words. It mostly works.
Oh my God, no, Emma groans.
It s probably about me, I say. Kiki s pulsing with energy and I m already on the verge of a headache. I throw her a reassuring smile and squeeze her hand. It does the trick. Her nerves settle and the throbbing in my head lightens.
Kiki s gained a few pounds recently, and despite the fact that the weight looks good on her, she s letting it get to her. It s not something she says to me; it s something that pops into my head. A thought that doesn t belong to my own brain.
Other people s thoughts often drop into my head like pebbles in a stream. Feelings out of place and unfamiliar, a voice that isn t my own, knowledge I shouldn t have and can t explain.
I run a hand through my hair and realize the reason Kiki s in my head is because I ve taken my hat off to scratch my scalp. I throw the wool beanie back on and make a mental note to find a different, not-itchy hat for this weekend. Hats are my mind s protection from unwanted, intrusive thoughts and feelings, from both the living and the dead.
Cue that famous line whispered by the little kid in the movie The Sixth Sense:
I see dead people.
Wah-wah-waaah.
A blessing and a curse, right? Scares you shitless

when you re three years old and you wake up to a shadowy man standing in your bedroom doorway. You re unable to move, too scared to make a sound. After countless nights of terror, you get fed up and tell him to go away. Surprise, surprise, he doesn t budge.
Shortly after he appears, your mom starts taking special trips to the hospital with your dad while you play at the neighbors house. Eventually, she loses all her pretty hair and gets really skinny and sad, with hollows under her eyes. For two years, the shadow man appears in your doorway, faceless and silent. It s not until you re five years old that you finally ask him what he wants. This time he starts to move, to shiver, like you re looking at him through a glass of water. One second, he s in the doorway, the next he s right in front of you. No eyes, no mouth, no nose. A shadow where his head should be. You scream until you black out, and when you wake up in the morning, your mother is dead.
Everyone you try to tell pats you on the back with poor- little-girl-just-lost-her-mommy eyes. What a horrible dream. That must have really scared you, huh?
But what they don t know is that now the spirit world has got your number, so your childhood bedroom becomes a rest stop on the road to the great beyond. A holding cell for souls with unfinished business. Or those who die too soon. Sometimes violently.
Unfortunately spoiler alert there s no otherworldly psychiatrist to help you cope with all the dead people. You do eventually tell your dad and he shrugs it off as silly
