Working in a hotel is bound to bring with it some quirks, whether that's demanding guests or curious requests.

However, even the most jaded of concierges may raise an eyebrow at some of these confessions.

In a new thread on Reddit user nicholaevna asked fellow members: 'Hotel staff of Reddit, what is the creepiest, weirdest, most unexplained event that you've experienced on the job?'

It wasn't long before members of the hospitality came forward with their bizarre and chilling stories.

The majority of the bizarre instances unsurprisingly happened during a hotel workers night shifts. 

One bizarre admission came from a man who was left bemused at the state of a room after a customer checked out.  

Many of the confessions included tales of the supernatural with several convinced that they worked in a haunted hotel.

In one spooky incident a receptionist would get complaints of a girl screaming in the pool area coinciding with an eerie back story. 

A receptionist revealed that he was left terrified after witnessing an apparition during a night shift.

An employee was left feeling shaken after an unexplained occurrence in the hotel staff room. 

Many employees were left unsettled by the disturbing and unexplained behaviour of a guest. 

Some guests themselves also came forward with their unusual experiences such as one frequent traveler who felt unsettled in his room. 

In one confession it was the guest who admitted to acting strangely but revealed that the hotel soon got used to him. 

Other employees experiences very real horrors such as one maid who discovered a snake while cleaning a room.

For other Reddit users it was the staff members themselves that they found the most odd.
