Horror story: the gap under door 203 at a goshitel in Incheon

I wasn't going to post this but here we go.

Summer 2021. A college student, let's call him Park, moves into a goshitel in Gyesan-dong, Incheon. Room 203. Last room on the second floor of an old building.

He sends one message before going completely silent: "Every night... I can see an eye through the gap under the door. It doesn't look like a real person's."

Then nothing.

I was covering urban horror cases in the Incheon area at the time and heard about this place. The building manager told me 203 had a reputation. Nobody stayed longer than a month. "They all stop sleeping," she said. "They hear things. The door opens and closes by itself."

So I went to check it out.

The room looked normal. But the second I stepped inside I felt this weird... pressure. Like the air was wrong. Window was sealed shut, ceiling was low, old fire door on the entrance. Standard goshitel stuff.

Except the gap under the door was wider than it should've been.

I decided to stay overnight. First few hours, nothing. Then 2am hits.

Something moved in the gap under the door.

Like someone crouching outside. Peering in.

An eye. Blinking. Through the gap.

I was ALONE in the room. Checked the CCTV footage the next morning. Nobody in the hallway. Nobody.

I left at checkout the next day, basically speed-walking out. Kept asking the manager questions until she finally told me.

Somebody died in 203. Previous tenant. Took three days for anyone to notice.

They only found out because blood started seeping through the gap under the door.

That gap. The only thing connecting that room to the rest of the world.

The manager said it casually, like she'd said it a hundred times: "The weird part is... the body was found with both eyes closed."

both eyes.

closed.

The goshitel is still open. Room 203 is officially a storage room now. Nobody rents it.

But people say if you stand in front of that door at night, you can still see it.

One eye. Blinking. In the gap.
