Read: "The Ghostly Inn"
Three friends were driving to the south coast for a holiday, looking forward to
their trip.
As dusk settled, it started getting dark, so they decided to find a place to stay
for the night.
They stumbled upon a small, quaint inn by the side of the road, seemingly out
of nowhere.
Inside, they were surprised to see a policeman and several people dressed in
unusual, old-fashioned clothes.
They spent the night comfortably. When they received the bill, they noticed it
was incredibly cheap.
A week later, on their way back, they tried to find the inn again but couldn't. It
seemed to have vanished.
Later, when their holiday photos were developed, they saw only their friends in
the pictures, along with a strange, small white creature in the background of
one.
