THE WOMAN IN ROOM 17
Episode 1 — The New Room
When 27-year-old Amara arrived in Kumasi, she had only one thing on her mind—starting over.
After losing her job and falling out with her boyfriend, she desperately needed somewhere cheap to stay.
That was how she found Room 17.
The house was old, but the room was surprisingly beautiful. The landlord only gave her one warning.
“Whatever you do, don't open the small door inside the wardrobe.”
Amara laughed.
“Why?”
The old man became serious.
“Just don't.”
That night, Amara unpacked her bags, took a shower and went to bed.
At exactly 2:13 a.m., she heard three knocks.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
She sat up.
“Who is there?”
Silence.
Then another three knocks.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
This time, the sound came from inside her wardrobe.
Amara slowly got out of bed.
She walked towards it and remembered the landlord's warning.
Don't open the small door.
She was about to turn away when she heard something that made her blood run cold.
A woman's voice whispered from inside the wardrobe.
“Amara… please let me out.”
She froze.
Nobody in that house knew her name.
Then the small door began to shake.
And from behind it came a soft cry.
“He will come back for me.”
Amara stepped backwards.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
It was the landlord.
She answered with trembling hands.
The old man's voice was barely a whisper.
“Amara… leave Room 17 immediately.”
She swallowed hard.
“Why?”
There was a long silence.
Then he said:
“Because the woman you're hearing has been dead for seven years.”
The call ended.
Amara stared at the wardrobe.
The knocking started again.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
