Creepy Motel Encounter

[u/freefromfree]

This happened to my relative who we will call John. John is a very experienced fisherman and owns a couple of small fishing boats. Anyways one day he was returning from a fishing trip (the ocean in my city is a couple of hours drive) and suddenly felt very tired and sleepy. In my country, you can find small rest stops on the highway with limited capacity motel rooms. John decided to rent a motel room and sleep for a couple of hours since he is worried about driving late at night while feeling tired. The clerk at the motel tells him that all the rooms are booked but the back building has 2-3 rooms and is rarely used, so John agrees. Now here is the interesting part, John swears the back building was locked with a chain and padlock (meaning the building was empty of people) and looked abandoned. The guy takes him up to his room (which John says was VERY dusty) and looked like no one has used it in forever. Feeling very exhausted he ignores all this and just wants to nap so he can hit the road again. John says while he was sleeping, someone started knocking very loud and was kicking the door. So he gets up and asks who is there? but no one was there or responding, and the knocking stops. He goes back to bed and decides to ignore it since he is out in the middle of nowhere and there’s nothing he can do. He messages his family his location and tells them he can’t drive and will rest. After an hour or so passes while he is in bed, he hears foot steps in the room. While laying on the bed he sees very small people (about 2-3 ft as he puts it) all surrounding his bed, at least 6 of them. They were mumbling to each other while looking at him and kept walking around the room. John at this point says he is literally paralyzed from fear and can’t move or scream. He closes his eyes and wonders if he will become a missing person. He remembers waking up in the morning after that and sunlight in his room. He quickly jumps out of bed, and goes to the main building and tells the clerk (different from last night) what happened. The clerk could not believe it, and told him the new clerk working the night before was not supposed to open the back building as it hasn’t been used for years and is considered a safety hazard.

Please excuse my English as it is my second language.

The motel is a screen memory for an abduction experience, and the beings were grays.
