    This was my family's motel, and this story is ridiculous. I believe in ghosts and spirits, have seen my grandpa's ghost and had an interaction with my dad after he passed, but to say there are evil spirits who want to possess and/or kill you there is made up. There might be a ghost there, a woman who presented as a man lived in one of our motel rooms and died in her sleep when I was a child, but she was definitely not evil or demonic.
