FunTranscript
00:00Mike Anson's reputation as a famous ghostwriter was rising.
00:04His hobby was investigating places or hotels notorious for hauntings.
00:08Places people were too afraid to even visit.
00:11But fear wasn't in Mike's dictionary.
00:13He only believed in what he saw with his own eyes.
00:15He would spend a night in any so-called haunted place,
00:18and then write about his experiences in his book.
00:21He had already written three horror tour guidebooks.
00:24Ten haunted mansions, ten haunted graveyards, and ten haunted lighthouses.
00:28All of them became very popular.
00:31After that, many hotel owners started calling Mike,
00:34claiming their hotels were haunted as well.
00:36They wanted Mike to feature their hotels in his books.
00:39But all those claims turned out to be fake.
00:41They only made such claims to promote their hotels.
00:44One day, while taking time off from work, Mike went to the beach to surf.
00:49Seeing people riding the high waves, he grabbed his surfboard and swam out to join them.
00:54While in the water, he noticed an airplane flying overhead with an insurance company advertisement.
00:58He stopped and began reading it.
01:00Suddenly, a strong wave struck his surfboard, knocking it against his head.
01:05Mike lost consciousness and began to drown.
01:07The wave eventually pushed him back onto the shore, unconscious.
01:11Just then, a man ran over to help him.
01:14At that exact moment, Mike suddenly regained consciousness, unharmed.
01:18The next day, Mike got back to work.
01:20He went to the post office, collected his mail, and then sat down at a cafe to read it.
01:25Most of the letters were advertisements for haunted hotels.
01:29But then, he found a postcard with a photo of the Dolphin Hotel in New York.
01:33On the back of the postcard, it said,
01:35Do not enter room 1408.
01:37Right then, Mike decided he had to go to room 1408 at the Dolphin Hotel.
01:42He called the hotel and asked for a reservation.
01:44But the receptionist refused to book him that room, saying he could have any other room except
01:481408.
01:49This seemed strange to Mike.
01:52He immediately began digging through old newspapers about the Dolphin Hotel.
01:56He discovered that in 1938, a factory owner had committed suicide by jumping out of room
02:011408.
02:02Not only that, more than a dozen people had died in that same room since then.
02:07After reading this, Mike's curiosity grew even stronger.
02:11He immediately called his publisher, Sam, who was in New York, and asked for help in booking
02:15the room.
02:16After consulting a lawyer, Sam told Mike that legally, if a hotel room is vacant, but the
02:21hotel refuses to provide it despite a guest's request, the guest can take legal action.
02:26Sam assured Mike that his lawyer would book room 1408 at the Dolphin Hotel.
02:31Sam then asked if Mike really wanted to return to New York, since that's where he was originally
02:36from.
02:36Mike had once been married, but after a falling out with his wife Lily, he left her and moved
02:41to Los Angeles a few years ago.
02:43His father had always advised him to reconcile with Lily.
02:45But Mike had ignored him, creating distance with his father too.
02:49Now, Mike only cared about his work, so he left for New York the very next night.
02:54Upon arriving at the Dolphin Hotel, Mike told the receptionist that he had booked room 1408
02:59for tonight.
03:00The receptionist asked him to wait, and then called the hotel manager, Gerald Olin.
03:05Olin invited Mike into his office and handed him an expensive bottle of wine, saying,
03:09Mr. Anson, this $800 bottle of wine will be my gift to you, if you choose another room
03:14instead of 1408.
03:16Mike replied, your gift is certainly valuable, Mr. Olin, but it won't stop me from staying
03:21in room 1408.
03:23Olin sighed and said, you know how many deaths have occurred in that room.
03:27No one has ever lasted more than an hour in there.
03:29I can't risk another death in this hotel.
03:31Please, it's best if you don't stay in room 1408.
03:36But Mike just smiled and said, nice try, but you can't scare me.
03:40I'll stay in that room no matter what.
03:42I've been to other hotels where similar things happened, and nothing ever touched me.
03:46Olin gave a small smile and said, you must have read in the papers that there were 22 deaths,
03:52right?
03:52But those were only the ones reported as natural deaths.
03:55In truth, there have been 56 deaths in room 1408, and all in very strange ways.
04:02He then showed Mike a file filled with photographs and details of all the people who had died in
04:06the room.
04:07Olin continued, in 1912, a sewing machine salesman named Kevin was the first to die in that room.
04:14He slid his own throat and, before dying, was actually sewing his severed neck with a needle
04:18and thread, and another woman drowned in her own bowl of chicken soup while staying there.
04:23Mike was stunned.
04:24Olin handed him the file and said, this has everything about the deaths in room 1408.
04:29You can sit here in my office and ask me anything for your book, but please, give up this idea
04:34of staying in that room.
04:35Mike paused for a moment in thought.
04:37Then he asked Olin for a glass of the expensive wine.
04:40Olin poured him one, but after taking a sip, Mike set down the glass and said, now give me
04:45the key to room 1408.
04:47Finally, Olin gave in to Mike's insistence and handed him the key to room 1408.
04:52Mike took the elevator to the 14th floor, where the room was located.
04:57Mike asked, if no one goes into that room, then it must have been closed for years.
05:01The bedsheets must be covered in dust.
05:03Olin replied, the hotel staff clean that room once a month, but always under my supervision.
05:09We never stay in there for more than 10 minutes, and I make sure all the doors are kept open
05:13during cleaning.
05:13But even with these precautions, a few years ago, one of the maids got locked in the bathroom.
05:19She was trapped for only a few moments.
05:21When we pulled her out, we found she had gouged out both her eyes with scissors and was laughing
05:26hysterically.
05:27Mike burst out laughing at Olin's words.
05:29He said, so, you're saying there's a ghost or a devil in that room?
05:33Olin replied, no, there's no ghost or devil in there.
05:37The room itself is the devil.
05:39When they reached the 14th floor, Olin said, I can only go this far with you.
05:44I'm telling you one last time, don't go into that room.
05:47But Mike just smiled and said, see you tomorrow morning, Mr. Olin.
05:51With that, Mike walked toward room 1408, while Olin returned to the elevator.
05:57As Mike read more about the strange deaths in that room, even he began to feel a little
06:01uneasy.
06:02Standing in front of the door, he saw a woman with her child entering room 1410, right next
06:08to 1408.
06:09Then, gathering courage, he unlocked the door and stepped inside.
06:14It was pitch dark.
06:15As soon as he turned on the lights, his expression changed.
06:19The room was surprisingly clean and luxurious.
06:22Relaxed, Mike closed the door behind him without worry.
06:25He went into the bathroom, wiped the sweat from his face with toilet paper, and then took
06:29out his tape recorder, something he always used to record his experiences in haunted places.
06:35Mike spoke into the recorder saying, I have to admit,
06:37At Olin, the manager did manage to scare me a little.
06:41But this is just an ordinary hotel room.
06:43There's a Bible in the drawer, a refrigerator in the living area filled with wine bottles
06:47and snacks, and a thermostat for the temperature.
06:50But it's stuck at a high level, making the room too hot.
06:53The carpet is stained, and there's an antique wardrobe that looks very old.
06:57Apart from a few simple items and some paintings, I don't see anything unusual here.
07:02Mike lay down on the bed, continuing his recording.
07:04Then he got up, went to the window, and commented that the view wasn't impressive either.
07:10Just buildings in front, and the noise of traffic disturbing the peace.
07:14As he was recording, a song suddenly started playing.
07:18Shocked, Mike turned and saw the music coming from a radio on the bedside table next to a clock.
07:23Then he noticed two packets of chocolates placed neatly on the bedpost.
07:27This startled him, because he had just gotten up from that same bed earlier, and there had been no chocolates.
07:33Suspicious, Mike thought this must be Olin's trick.
07:37Maybe one of his men was hiding in the room to scare him.
07:39He began searching, opening doors one after another, but found no one.
07:44When he reached the bathroom, he was shocked.
07:46The toilet paper he had torn earlier to wipe his sweat was now back in place, perfectly folded.
07:52That was impossible, because Mike had only gone to the window for a short while.
07:55How could someone sneak in, leave chocolates, fix the toilet paper, and then disappear so quickly?
08:01Mike searched the entire room again, but found no trace of anyone.
08:05Feeling unsettled, he suddenly noticed a shadow inside a ventilation compartment on the ceiling.
08:09He shouted angrily,
08:11Try harder, you idiot!
08:12These are useless pranks.
08:14Meanwhile, the room grew unbearably hot.
08:17Mike called the reception, but before he could say anything, the receptionist asked calmly,
08:22Mr. Anson, would you like to check out now?
08:25Annoyed, Mike replied,
08:26Why would I check out?
08:28I called because I need someone to fix the thermostat.
08:31The receptionist answered,
08:32We'll send an engineer to your room right away.
08:35Relieved, Mike sat back.
08:37He now suspected the room had a hidden chamber where someone might be hiding to scare him.
08:42At the same time, he couldn't shake the terrifying thought that countless people had died here in gruesome ways,
08:48and maybe their presence still lingered.
08:50He quickly turned off the lights and took out his ultraviolet lamp, scanning the room.
08:54Though the room looked clean, the UV light revealed bloodstains on the bed and the walls.
08:59Seeing this, Mike could imagine the horrific deaths that had happened there.
09:04Turning the lights back on, he sat on the sofa, continuing to record everything.
09:08Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
09:11Mike jumped in fear, but quickly composed himself and opened it.
09:14A man was standing outside.
09:16The engineer sent to fix the thermostat.
09:18Mike tried to let him in, but the door seemed stuck.
09:21He pulled with all his strength until it suddenly swung open, almost knocking him backward.
09:26The engineer asked if the thermostat was overheating or overcooling.
09:29Mike replied,
09:30Why don't you come in and see for yourself?
09:32But the engineer flatly refused, saying he would explain how to fix it from the doorway.
09:37Mike had no choice but to follow his instructions.
09:40With the engineer's guidance, he managed to fix the thermostat.
09:43When Mike turned back to thank him, the engineer was already gone.
09:47Mike closed the door, went back inside, and picked up the bottle of wine the manager had given him.
09:52Sitting down on the bed, he began drinking.
09:55Suddenly, the radio next to him started playing the same song again.
09:59Startled, Mike dropped his glass.
10:01He angrily turned off the radio, but it switched itself back on.
10:05This time, setting a one-hour timer.
10:08Mike backed away in fear.
10:09At that moment, he remembered what Olin had told him.
10:12No one should stay in that room for more than an hour.
10:15Although Mike still thought this was an all-in trick and cursed them under his breath,
10:20everything suddenly went silent.
10:22Confused, he went to the window and tried to listen to the traffic outside, but there was no sound.
10:27Frustrated, Mike turned to walk away from the window when the glass shattered, crushing his hand.
10:32Crying out in pain, he managed to pull his hand free and stumbled into the bathroom to rinse the blood off with cold water.
10:38But instead of cold water, scalding hot water gushed from the tap, burning his wound.
10:44Writhing in pain, Mike crouched in the corner and angrily kicked the tap shut.
10:49He came out of the bathroom and wrapped his handkerchief around his injured hand.
10:53Suddenly, the same song started playing on the radio again.
10:57Fed up, Mike quickly unplugged it, but the timer on the radio clock didn't stop.
11:02He was stunned.
11:03Just then, the phone rang.
11:05Mike picked it up, and the receptionist said,
11:08Mr. Anson, the sandwich you ordered will take another 10 minutes.
11:11We apologize for the inconvenience Mike was shocked.
11:14He hadn't ordered any sandwich.
11:16He replied,
11:17Okay, I've lost.
11:18Stop this trickery.
11:20I need to check out right now because I'm injured.
11:22Book me a taxi.
11:23I need to go to the hospital.
11:25But the receptionist, ignoring what he said, began reciting the kitchen menu.
11:29Furious.
11:30Mike cursed at her and hung up.
11:31Now completely fed up, he decided he didn't want to stay there even for another moment.
11:36He grabbed his bag, went to the door, and tried to open it, but it was jammed again.
11:41Despite his best efforts, it wouldn't open.
11:43Thinking it might be locked, Mike tried using his key.
11:47But as he turned it, the key broke like a twig and got stuck inside the lock.
11:51Mike then stuck a knife into the keyhole and somehow managed to unlock the door.
11:56When he tried to open it by grabbing the doorknob, the knob broke off in his hand.
12:00Fed up, Mike kicked the door, trying to break it open, and began calling for help.
12:05But the door didn't budge, and his voice didn't carry outside.
12:09Then, when he looked through the peephole, he saw his own eyes staring back at him.
12:13Terrified, Mike backed away from the door.
12:16He ran to the window and started shouting for help, but the noise of the traffic drowned his voice.
12:21Suddenly he noticed a man sitting near the window in the building opposite.
12:24Mike shouted for help.
12:25Luckily, the man saw him, stood up, and came to the window.
12:30Mike signaled him to call the police, but instead of helping, the man began imitating him.
12:35Everything Mike did, the man copied, like a mirror image.
12:39Mike was shocked.
12:40Because of the darkness, he couldn't clearly see the man's face.
12:43He picked up a lamp and shone at his face.
12:46At the same moment, the man also shone a lamp at his own face.
12:50What Mike saw stunned him.
12:51The man was his exact double.
12:53Suddenly, someone appeared behind the duplicate Mike and struck him on the head with a hammer.
12:58When Mike turned around in fear, he saw the same person standing behind him with the hammer.
13:03The man swung it at him again, but Mike dodged and backed into a corner, closing his eyes.
13:08When he opened them, the man had vanished.
13:11Relieved, Mike got up, went back to the window, picked up the lamp, and threw it down,
13:16hoping someone below would notice and call the police.
13:19But to his shock, the lamp disappeared halfway through the air.
13:23Mike was bewildered.
13:24He couldn't understand what was happening.
13:27Then he remembered the expensive bottle of wine Olin had given him, and the chocolates he had eaten.
13:32Mike became convinced that the wine or the chocolates must have been laced with some kind of drug,
13:37causing him to hallucinate.
13:38Mike tried to control his mind, but then he heard a voice from the living room.
13:43Daddy, I can see you.
13:44Hearing this, Mike completely lost his composure, because the voice belonged to his daughter, Katie,
13:50who had died a few years earlier.
13:52Mike ran to the living room, but no one was there.
13:54The next moment, Katie's voice echoed from every corner of the room.
13:57Frightened, Mike felt as if he was getting lost in his own thoughts.
14:01He curled up in one place and sat down.
14:03Then Mike's eyes drifted toward the window.
14:06He saw a man and a woman jumping out of the window one after the other.
14:09Immediately afterward, he heard a cracking sound in the living room.
14:12When Mike rushed there, he saw a large crack forming in the wall, and from it, a stream of blood was flowing out.
14:19All these events trapped Mike in a web of reality and illusion.
14:23He began to feel as if he was dreaming, because such bizarre things could only happen in a dream.
14:28Mike thought that if this really was a dream, he could do anything without dying.
14:33Thinking this, Mike decided to try escaping through the window to the next room.
14:36He looked at the floor map on the door and calculated that the other room's window was just 18 feet away on the outside.
14:43He climbed out of his window, carefully placing his feet on a narrow ledge, and began sliding toward the other room.
14:49The window was nine steps away.
14:51Risking his life, he somehow managed to crawl nine steps forward.
14:55But then he was horrified.
14:57There were no windows in any of the other rooms.
15:00For miles, the only visible window was room 1408.
15:05Panicked, Mike's steps faltered, and he nearly slipped to his death.
15:09Somehow, he gathered his courage, steadied himself, and carefully made his way back to his own window.
15:15Just as he was about to climb back in, an unknown woman suddenly attacked him from inside.
15:20Startled, Mike lost his balance and began to fall.
15:23But he luckily managed to cling to the building's wall.
15:25At that moment, the same woman jumped out of the window, and the window started closing.
15:31Using all his strength, Mike pulled himself back into the room before it shut completely.
15:35He barely survived.
15:37Now, Mike was convinced this wasn't a dream.
15:40Otherwise, with his strong will, he would have woken up long ago.
15:44When Mike looked at the floor map again, he saw that all the other hotel rooms had vanished,
15:48leaving only room 1408 in the middle of the hotel.
15:51Looking around, he noticed that even the window of his room had now been bricked up.
15:56Seeing this, Mike felt like his head was going to burst.
15:59At that moment, he remembered his phone.
16:01He quickly took it out of his bag, but there was no signal.
16:04Desperate, he opened his laptop, and fortunately, the internet was working.
16:09He immediately made a video call to his wife, Lily.
16:12Thankfully, she answered.
16:13But she was furious with Mike for abandoning her earlier.
16:16Mike apologized and begged for her help.
16:18He said, Lily, please call the police and tell them I'm trapped in room 1408 at the Dolphin Hotel.
16:25But Lily grew even angrier when she realized Mike was in New York and hadn't come to see her.
16:29Mike kept pleading for help, while Lily kept complaining.
16:33Suddenly, the fire alarm went off, activating the sprinkler system.
16:36Water sprayed heavily from above, drenching everything.
16:40It hit Mike's laptop, and the device shut down instantly.
16:43Furious, Mike threw a piece of wood at the sprinkler, managing to stop the water.
16:47Just then, Mike noticed a ventilation vent near the sprinkler.
16:51An idea struck him.
16:52Maybe he could escape through the vents.
16:54He pried it open with his knife and crawled inside.
16:57He reached the vent of another room and peeked down.
16:59Inside, he saw a woman sitting with a child on her lap.
17:03Mike desperately called out to her for help.
17:05But something strange happened.
17:07His own voice echoed from the room below.
17:09At that moment, the woman looked up at him.
17:11To his shock, the woman was none other than his wife, Lily, holding their daughter, Katie, in her lap.
17:17It was a scene straight from Mike's past.
17:20The sight left him completely stunned.
17:22He moved forward in fear and soon saw another ventilation grill.
17:25When he looked down, he once again witnessed a scene from his past.
17:28An argument between him and his father.
17:31These visions reminded Mike of his old mistakes.
17:33Years ago, Mike and his wife, Lily, were living happily with their daughter, Katie.
17:38But one day, they learned that Katie had a terminal illness and would only live for a few more days.
17:44This news brought devastation to their lives.
17:47Lily lost all hope.
17:49During Katie's final moments, she focused on teaching her religious beliefs.
17:53She would tell Katie,
17:55One day, everyone dies and goes to heaven.
17:57You too will go there, where you'll meet God and find eternal happiness.
18:01But Mike was an atheist.
18:02He wanted Lily to stop filling Katie's mind with religious teachings and instead, give her hope and courage.
18:08He believed that boosting Katie's morale could help her fight the illness.
18:12Then, one day, Katie passed away.
18:15Crushed by grief, Mike blamed Lily for their daughter's death.
18:19He argued with her, saying that if Lily had encouraged Katie instead of talking about God, Katie might have survived.
18:25The scene Mike was witnessing now showed his father telling him that he was wrong to blame Lily.
18:30But Mike had been angry at his father, too.
18:33He eventually left both Lily and his father behind and moved to Los Angeles.
18:37Since then, Lily had lived alone, and Mike's father had spent his old age in a nursing home.
18:42His father glared at him in the vision, and a frightened Mike crawled deeper into the vent.
18:46But there was still no way out.
18:48As he moved further, he came across a corpse covered in dust and cobwebs.
18:53It looked like the body had been there for many years.
18:55When Mike got closer, he noticed a needle and thread around the man's neck.
18:59He realized this was Kevin, the very first guest of room 1408, the man who had tried to sew his own throat shut.
19:06Suddenly, the corpse moved and came to life.
19:09Horrified, Mike froze, unable to breathe.
19:13The dead man lunged forward and grabbed Mike's legs.
19:16Struggling desperately, Mike kicked the corpse in the head, cracking its skull, and managed to escape.
19:21He ran through the ventilation shaft and jumped back into room 1408.
19:26Once inside, Mike gasped for breath, trying to calm himself.
19:30To ease his mind, he thought about drinking.
19:32But when he opened the refrigerator, he was shocked to see Olin, the hotel manager, standing inside.
19:38Olin said,
19:39Tell me, Mr. Enslin, do you believe in ghosts now, or are you still doubting them?
19:44But Mike still refused to believe.
19:46Angry, he shouted,
19:47I knew it, Olin!
19:48This is all your trick.
19:50What do you want from me?
19:51Olin calmly replied,
19:53You don't believe in ghosts or God, do you?
19:55You mock people and hurt their faith.
19:57Tell me, why do you think people believe in ghosts?
20:00For fun?
20:01For entertainment?
20:02That's not the truth.
20:03People believe because it gives them hope.
20:05That even after death, a soul lives on.
20:08Enraged, Mike yelled at Olin.
20:10But in reality, Olin wasn't there.
20:12He was shouting at the refrigerator.
20:14He slammed it shut, picked up the Bible lying nearby and muttered,
20:18Fine.
20:18I was wrong.
20:20Ghosts exist.
20:21And if ghosts exist, then God must exist too.
20:24Mike opened the Bible.
20:26But to his shock, all the pages were blank.
20:28Suddenly, he began seeing another scene from his past.
20:31His daughter Katie lay on her hospital bed in her final moments, while Lily reassured her,
20:37After death, you'll go to God, where you'll find good friends.
20:40Mike had been devastated hearing those words.
20:43He then saw the day when Katie was cremated, and he remembered angrily telling Lily that if she had given Katie hope, instead of talking about God, she might have been saved.
20:52But watching the scene again now, Mike realized the painful truth.
20:57He had been wrong all along.
20:59Nothing could have saved Katie.
21:00At that very moment, the cold in the room grew so intense, that ice began to form everywhere.
21:06Shivering, Mike wrapped himself in a blanket, sat in a corner, and started lighting whatever he could find in the room to create warmth.
21:14He began to feel as though he had entered hell itself, suffering the consequences of his past sins.
21:19Just then, Mike heard a voice from his laptop.
21:23It was his wife, Lily.
21:25Mike immediately opened it, and was relieved to see Lily on the video call.
21:28He quickly begged her to call the police and send help.
21:31Lily told him she had already called the police and sent them to room 1408, but when they got there, the room was empty.
21:38Hearing this, Mike was shocked.
21:40Lily reassured him,
21:41Don't worry. I'll be there to pick you up in 15 minutes.
21:44When Mike looked at his watch, he saw only two minutes remaining.
21:48He told Lily she had to hurry, or he would die.
21:51But then, Mike's own image on the laptop screen started speaking to Lily.
21:55It told her to come to the room in 15 minutes.
21:58Hearing this, Mike realized the room was now trying to lure Lily in as well.
22:03He desperately tried to stop her from coming to the hotel, but the call disconnected.
22:07Suddenly, the room began to collapse.
22:10A violent storm erupted, and rain poured down.
22:13At that moment, all the paintings on the walls seemed to come alive.
22:17Enraged, Mike struck a painting of the ocean with a stick, shattering it.
22:22Seawater gushed out of the painting, flooding the room until it was completely submerged.
22:27Mike was pulled under.
22:29The next instant, a shocking scene unfolded.
22:32Mike opened his eyes and found himself lying on a beach, wearing surfing gear.
22:37It was the same incident when he had once drowned while surfing, and the waves had thrown him ashore.
22:42A man who saw Mike's condition came to help and took him to the hospital.
22:46When Mike regained consciousness, he found himself on a hospital bed with Lily sitting by his side.
22:51Confused, Mike asked Lily if they were in New York.
22:55Lily told him they were in Los Angeles.
22:57She explained that while surfing, his board had hit his head, knocking him out, and he had been brought to the hospital.
23:03Mike was shocked.
23:04He told Lily that he had been trapped in room 1408 at the Dolphin Hotel and had called her from there.
23:09But Lily insisted she had received no call from him.
23:12Mike was stunned.
23:13After being discharged from the hospital, Mike went with Lily to a restaurant and told her everything that had happened in room 1408.
23:20Lily told him it was all just a bad dream.
23:23But then, Mike noticed a woman in the restaurant.
23:26She was the same woman he had seen jumping from the window in room 1408.
23:30In the blink of an eye though, a different woman appeared in her place.
23:34Mike realized it was just another hallucination.
23:36The next day, Mike went to the post office to collect his letters.
23:40He searched for the postcard from the Dolphin Hotel but couldn't find it.
23:44He then began investigating the hotel's history through newspapers.
23:48Previously, he had read about a factory owner who had committed suicide by jumping from room 1408 of the Dolphin Hotel.
23:55But now, the same newspaper reported a different cause of death.
23:59The man had jumped off a bridge instead.
24:00Reading this, Mike began to believe the entire incident had been a nightmare he'd experienced after fainting while surfing.
24:08However, that nightmare had forced him to face his misdeeds.
24:11Feeling ashamed for leaving Lily and his father, Mike went to them and apologized.
24:16But the dream stayed with him, burned into his memory like reality.
24:20To free himself from it, Mike wrote an entire book about the experience and named it 1408.
24:26He then went to the post office to send the book to his publisher, Sam, in New York.
24:31He told the clerk there that it needed to be sent urgently.
24:34As the employee turned to him, Mike was shocked.
24:37The man was a waiter from the Dolphin Hotel.
24:40Looking around, Mike saw that every employee in the post office was from the hotel.
24:45Suddenly, they all grabbed weapons and started demolishing the building.
24:49As the post office walls crumbled, the walls of room 1408 appeared on the other side.
24:54Mike's head started spinning.
24:55In the next moment, he was back in room 1408.
24:59This revealed the horrifying truth.
25:02The events of room 1408 had not been a dream.
25:05They were real.
25:06Mike still hadn't been able to get out of the hotel room.
25:09This time, the room was in ruins.
25:11Mike couldn't understand why all this was happening to him.
25:14Suddenly, he saw his daughter Katie standing there.
25:17Mike hugged his daughter and started crying.
25:19But then, the radio suddenly started playing again.
25:22And in that very moment, Mike's daughter turned to ashes.
25:26Distressed, he began throwing things around the room and finally, exhausted, collapsed on the floor.
25:31Just then, the one-hour timer on the radio clock ran out.
25:35Mike was back in his hotel room, where everything was once again clean and tidy.
25:39The one-hour timer had started ticking again.
25:42The room's phone rang.
25:44Mike picked it up and asked,
25:45Why don't you kill me?
25:46Why are you torturing me like this?
25:48The answer came,
25:49Mr. Enslin, we give each of our guests two choices.
25:53You can enjoy our service repeatedly every hour.
25:56Or you can check out using our express checkout service.
25:59Hearing this, Mike placed the phone receiver on the table and walked into the living room.
26:03There, he saw a noose, which meant the express checkout service was nothing but taking one's own life and leaving the room and the world forever.
26:12Now, Mike understood why every guest who stayed in the room ended up taking their own life.
26:17In reality, there were no ghosts or devils in that room.
26:21The room itself was the devil, torturing its guests by forcing them to relive their past mistakes and putting them in horrifying situations.
26:29People were pushed to the point of losing their sanity.
26:31Those who survived were given two choices.
26:34Either suffer the torment every single hour, or die in the room's prescribed way and escape the world.
26:40This was the reason no one had ever returned alive from that cursed room.
26:44At that very moment, Mike saw his body hanging from a noose in the mirror.
26:47He picked up the phone again and said,
26:49I'll check out, but in my own way.
26:51After saying this, Mike hung up, but the phone rang again.
26:54When he picked it up, he heard a voice say,
26:57Sorry, sir. I forgot to tell you.
26:59Your wife called a while ago.
27:00So, she'll be here in five minutes.
27:02Hearing this, Mike said,
27:03Do whatever you want with me, but please leave my wife alone.
27:06Suddenly, the phone melted in his hand.
27:09Mike thought for a moment, then picked up a liquor bottle and sat on the sofa.
27:12He tore his handkerchief, stuffed it inside the bottle, and made a makeshift bomb.
27:17Then Mike said,
27:17Saying this, he lit the bottle and threw it into the bedroom, setting the entire room ablaze.
27:32Mike sat calmly on the sofa, smoking a cigarette.
27:36Meanwhile, the fire spread through the hotel, causing chaos everywhere.
27:39At the same time, Lily arrived and, seeing the fire, begged the fire brigade to save her husband, Mike.
27:46Just then, a massive explosion occurred, and Mike was burned to death along with that cursed room.
27:52With that, the ink on the door of room number, 1,408 began to flow away like blood, signifying the end of the room forever.
27:59A few days later, Mike's funeral was held.
28:03His wife, Lily, buried his body near their daughter, Katie's grave.
28:06Afterward, as Lily was leaving, the hotel manager, Olin, came to meet her.
28:11Olin said,
28:12I'm sorry for Mike's death, but it wasn't in vain.
28:15By destroying room 1408, Mike helped us.
28:19Thanks to him, no one will ever die in that room again.
28:22He then handed Lily a box and said,
28:24This box contains some of Mike's belongings, which we found while cleaning the room.
28:28Heartbroken, Lily wasn't in the state to take it.
28:31She refused the box and left.
28:33Olin then returned to his car, carrying the box with him.
28:36He opened it, and found Mike's tape recorder inside.
28:39When he played it, he heard Mike's daughter Katie's voice, repeatedly calling out for her father.
28:44Startled, Olin looked into the rearview mirror and saw a little girl standing behind the car, calling for her father.
28:50Then, he suddenly saw Mike in the back seat, completely burned.
28:54Olin immediately turned around, but no one was there.
28:58Thinking it was just his imagination, Olin laughed nervously, started the car, and drove away.
29:03With this, the story returned to room number.
29:061,408.
29:07Mike was still there, standing near the window, puffing on a cigarette.
29:11Although the room had been burned down, he heard his daughter calling for him once again.
29:16Following her voice, Mike walked through the door.
29:19Mike was finally free from that cursed room, but only as a spirit.
