Woman smelled something ‘weird’ in hotel room — what she found traumatized her for life

Ukrainian vlogger Natalisi Taksisi shared a horrifying experience she had after taking a solo trip to Tokyo.

The hotel she booked seemed legit and she was looking forward to a trip to remember. However, little did she know that her dream gateway would turn into a nightmare.

Taking to TikTok, she explained that once at the hotel, she required a key card to access her floor and her room. After a day of exploring the city, she returned to her room and smelled something “weird.”

“I came back around 7.30 p.m, unlocked my room like usual, took off my clothes, and lay down on the bed,” she said. “And then I noticed a weird smell. At first I thought it was coming from my hair or the bed sheets, but then I realised it was coming from under the bed.”

Curious, she looked under the bed and was met with a pair of eyes staring right back at her.

She froze in fear before jumping up and screaming.

The man climbed out from under the bed and stared at her for a few seconds.

“Those seconds felt like my life was over,” Taksisi said.

The intruder then screamed and ran out of the room.

Scared and disturbed, Taksisi alerted the hotel staff who then called the police.

Upon investigation, they found a power bank and a USB cable under the bed.

“I kept asking the hotel, ‘How did it happen?’ and they didn’t have any answer for me.” 

The officers told her they were probably not going to be able to track down the intruder, which scared Taksisi even more. She decided to leave the hotel spend the rest of the days into another one.

@natalisi_ I found a man under my bed in a hotel room in Japan. This was supposed to be a safe solo trip. What happened changed everything. If you’re a solo traveler, please share this.

“I’m afraid he just wanted to wait until I switched off the lights, fall asleep and then climb from under the bed and choke me or do whatever,” she explained.

“It’s like my nightmare.”

Since then, she has experienced intense anxiety whenever she stays in a hotel.

While she doesn’t want to scare other girls who travel solo, Natalisi Taksisi warns them to be cautious and “check everything.”
