I have a rather creepy story to tell you, something that actually happened to me last year. /x/ doesnt nearly get enough OC these days so let me share

>Driving cross country from California to Minnesota alone
>I want to see some family in North Dakota on the way so my trip takes me through Montana
>On the 94 highway heading east
>Its getting late and i decide to find a place for me to stay; nearest town in Glendive, Montana
>I start calling some motels but none of them have vacancies. fuck i might have to sleep in my car...
>I call the Best Western Hotel
>"Best Western at Glendive" answers a man on the other end.
>Ask if they have a room available.
>they do. YES!
>30min later arrive at Glendive. Already getting dark
>Small town, almost picturesque. Lot of train depos, and appeared to be an agricultural/freight town
>Use my GPS to navigate and arrive at the best western
>what the fuck? The hotel is boarded up
>the only way i knew it was the best western was because there was a sign still attached to the building
>must have made a mistake. redial number
> "We're sorry, but the number you have dialed has been disconnected"
>starting to worry at this point
>try again. no luck
> the place looks like its been abandoned for at least a year
>nope right out of that town
>buy some food and spend the night at a rest stop in my car

To this day i havnt figured out who i talked to over the phone or what exactly happened. All i know is that i was pretty terrified.

Pic related. its the hotel on google maps, apparently the map hasnt been updated yet. however if you search for the best western at glendive on google maps it will no longer give you a hit; which is how i found it in the first place

anyone else have some scary road trip stories? Or any stories for that matter...
