The keyhole
A man went to a hotel and walked to the front desk to check in. The woman on the desk told him that on his way to his room he'll find a door with no number which is also locke, he should not open it. The man agreed went to his room

His curiosity didn't let him sleep that night and after a lot of thinking he went to the room. He tried to open the door but it was locked. He looked through the keyhole and saw a girl facing towards the window. She was all white. He was just going to knock but didn't.

The next day, he before giving the room key to the woman on the desk. He saw that everything was red and nothing else but red was seen. He thought in his mind that the hotel assistants covered it in red so no one can see.

He went and told this to the woman on the desk. She sighed and asked " did you look through the keyhole ?" The man said he had. Do the woman replied " ok then...I'll tell you the story about that room. A husband murdered his wife there. She was all white except of her eyes which was red.
