I always liked that old story (I think there are multiple variations in different countries, it's a pretty basic cliche) about the haunted hotel room where nobody can stay the night. Naturally, some young guy wants to show off or win a bet and decides to do it, and his friends are to watch the door to make certain he stays in there the whole night and that no one else enters. In the middle of the night, there's a scream and the friends dash in too late, to find the young man dead, with a look of horror on his face
