Nakuba abaningi bevame ukuza e-Nevada bezofuna izinga elithile lokujabula e-Las Vegas, izivakashi zingase zithole ukugijima kwangempela kwe-adrenaline emotela etholakala cishe amahora amathathu ukusuka eSin City, edolobheni elincane laseTonopah.
Itholakala ngaphesheya kwe-Old Tonopah Cemetery, i I-Clown Motel yaziwa ngokuthi i-America’s Scariest Motel. Ngokuvumelana ne ILASI, U-Bob Perchetti wasungula lesi sikhungo ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yawo-1990 ngemuva kokuthatha umhlalaphansi emsebenzini wezokuvakasha kahulumeni futhi ngemuva kwalokho waba umnikazi wale motel iminyaka engaphezu kwengama-20. Phakathi naleyo minyaka engamashumi amabili, yena nozakwabo ebhizinisini bahlobise yonke indawo ngabahlengi bomndeni.
Wayenendlu egcwele ama-clowns, futhi wanquma ukuletha ama-clowns awasebenzise, uPerchetti utshele isiteshi ngo-2017.
Ngawo lowo nyaka, i-motel, eyayidayiswa, yadonsa ukunaka kuka-Hame Anand, owayenesithakazelo esifanayo kuma-clowns. Engxoxweni no I-Thrilllist, Umnikazi wemotel uveze ukuthi umfowabo ubemanqikanqika ngokuthenga le ndawo ikakhulukazi ngoba iseduze kwamathuna. Kodwa u-Anand, owayenolwazi oluthile kwezokukhangisa, wabona indawo ye-motel njengethuba.
Impilo yami yonke bengisebenza kwezokukhangisa, esho. Ngakho-ke ngiyazi ukuthi noma ngabe ubunezigidi eziyi-10 zamaRandi ngeke uthole lolu hlobo lokukhangisa. Ngatshela umfowethu, ‘Uyabona, le motel idume kakhulu futhi indawo yamathuna — yilokho okubanjiwe.’
Nakuba uPerchetti kungenzeka ukuthi uye wabeka isisekelo sodumo lwale motel, u-Anand wasebenzisa imali enkulu ngakho ngokwengeza imifanekiso yakhe engama-clow engama-200 kwezingu-800 ezazivele zize nale ndawo. Iqoqo elikhulu eligcinwe ngaphakathi kwezindonga zalo lenze nje indawo yokuhlala ixake kakhulu.
Ngangesaba kancane, u-Anand etshela i-Thrillist. Ngangingakwazi ukulala ekamelweni lami. Kodwa, ngolunye usuku, ngacabanga, ‘Kungani ngize lapha? Kumele kube namandla athile angcwele. Bafuna ngibe lapha ngizoqhuba le motela. Ngakho-ke, ngeke baxabane nami.'
Ngokuka-Anand, uzwe imisindo engachazeki emakamelweni angahlali muntu, kusukela emazwini kuye ezinyathelweni. Izihambeli kubikwa ukuthi zizwe noma zibone izinto ezingajwayelekile emagumbini 108, 109, 210, 215, kanye no-217 ikakhulukazi. Kwesinye isigameko iqeqebana labesifazane laze lathi libone isipoki esithe sizolungisa indlu yangasese.
Kepha ngaphandle kwemisebenzi ejwayelekile, u-Anand, owathi unezivakashi ezivela emhlabeni wonke ezichitha ubusuku emotela yakhe, wagomela ngokuthi uthola induduzo ngokuhlala nezithombe zakhe ezingama-2,000-plus.
Ngazi ngale ndlela ukuthi babengitshela ukuthi, ‘Sikhona, kodwa ungakhathazeki ngalokho,’ esho.
Futhi ngokufanelekile, i-motel, manje enamagumbi athile anikezelwe kumafilimu athile asabekayo afana ne-It, ngoLwesihlanu 13th kanye ne-Halloween, ithole ukubuyekezwa okuhloniphekile I-Tripadvisor.
UNGAHLULELI incwadi ngekhava yayo, kwabhala isivakashi esisodwa sase-Indiana. Ingaphandle libukeka lingabaza (ngoba uyazi ... abahlengi) kodwa amagumbi asanda kulungiswa nakanjani azokumangaza! Ihlanzekile kakhulu futhi ibukeka kahle.
Ngijabule ngale motel, kwengezwe enye. Nakanjani ukuzizwisa inoveli. Ngaphandle kokwesabeka okusobala, indawo igcwele amakati amnyama kanti indoda ehlanzayo igqoka amabhulukwe e-clown!
Uma uyijabulele le ndaba, ungahle uthande ukufunda ngayo leli qembu lomdanso lesikole samabanga aphezulu eliphefumulelwe yi-Pennywise.
