Hotels are meant to be temporary places — a bed for the night, a door you lock, a room meant to forget you the moment you leave.

But some rooms remember.

Some rooms hold on.

Some rooms check you out long before you reach the lobby.

In the spring of 1991, a traveling insurance auditor checked into a historic hotel in Savannah, Georgia.

He signed his name in the old-fashioned guestbook.

He took the brass key the clerk handed him.

He rode the elevator up to the fourth floor.

At 7:14 p.m., he called the front desk and said someone was in his room.

At 7:17, he said something else:

“He looks like me.”

Security rushed to the room.

The man was gone.

The window was locked from the inside.

And the guestbook showed something impossible:

He had already checked out — two hours before he arrived.

This is the story they call The Man Who Checked Out Twice.
