As Billy is being checked in and shown his room there are some strange situations. There are no people in the bed and breakfast but the room is prepared as if she was waiting for him, the old lady is very weird, the guest book only had two names and they sounded familiar to Billy and the last guest had been there two years before. All these situations are very strange and it foreshadows that there is something odd about the old lady and that Billy is in danger. However, we really understand how bad the situation is when she explains that the two guests on the guest book have actually "never left": "But my dear boy, he never left. He's still here. Mr. Temple is also here. They're on the fourth floor, both of them together".
