Welcome to Haunted Road, a production of I Heart Radio and Grim and Mild from Aaron

Just before midnight on May 19, 2007, police were called to the Alaskan Hotel to respond

to a disturbance in Room 315.

The room's only guest, a sailor from the USS Bunker Hill, was heard screaming through

the door, help, stop, he shouted, get me out of here.

He appeared to be trapped in the room.

Responding officers said they heard more than one person inside.

Later, a guest in the room directly underneath gave her account of the events.

I remember hearing yelling, but kind of just assumed that it was coming from the bar downstairs,

she said.

We hear glass shatter from above and within moments, our window within our hotel room

just shatters.

For anyone to get inside, the sailor jumped out the third floor window.

When the police broke down the door, officer Chris Gilford was met with a horrible scene.

The walls were covered in bloodgilford, said.

There was, it looked like something very bad had happened in there, and I didn't know

what it was, but it didn't look normal.

The sailor survived, but hotel owner Betty Adams said that when she entered the room,

From the wall, the sailor had written one word, help.
