During their first night, they went out to eat and returned to find their rooms connected by a narrow hallway, allowing for privacy. However, the speaker was disturbed multiple times during the night when Eileen went out for cigarettes, despite initially recognizing and not reacting to her presence in the dark. The repeated interruptions left the speaker feeling annoyed and unable to fully rest before the event.

A terrifying night encounter leaves the speaker feeling uneasy and anxious: Despite skepticism towards religious beliefs, visualizing a protective light helped the speaker feel safe during a mysterious encounter, but she kept the experience a secret due to fear of skepticism and the anxiety it caused.

The next morning, she decided not to share her experience with her friends due to their likely skepticism, but was shocked when one of them mentioned that she had seen the speaker in their room during the night. The speaker continued to feel anxious and kept her experience a secret from her husband as well. The incident left her feeling robbed of a good night's sleep and ruined her anticipation for the upcoming pride parade.

The speaker's paranormal experience in the hotel room may be influenced by her beliefs and the hotel's past.: The speaker's encounter with the paranormal in a historic hotel raises questions about unexplored realms beyond the human world.
The speaker's experience with the paranormal in the hotel room was likely influenced by her upbringing and beliefs about the spiritual world. The hotel, previously known as Hotel Gordon in the 1940s, had a questionable past and may have been a place where strange occurrences were not uncommon. The lack of concrete information about the hotel's history and the death of a woman connected to a clairvoyant only adds to the mystery. Ultimately, the truth about the paranormal experiences at the hotel may never be fully explained, but the speaker's encounter serves as a reminder of the unexplored realms beyond the human world.
