-->"It's like something out of Harry Potter!" warned Jeff Tamblyn, a writer and producer of corporate videos, when he checked in recently at Marriott's Griffin Gate Resort in Lexington, Kentucky, and was subsequently issued a small, white, plastic card which caused his hotel room door to unlock itself.
"I could tell demons were at work," says Tamblyn, who cited the appearance of an ominous green light next to the slot in which the card was thrust. "Next thing I knew, the lock was turning all on its own. It could've been part of an elaborate joke, but I wasn't going to stick around and find out. I ran to the elevator as fast as I could and went right back to the front desk to complain."
Tamblyn's surprise was compounded when he was told by Front Desk Clerk Krissy Stevens that all the rooms were opened the same way - using the mysterious key cards. Stevens was unable to explain the process by which the cards were given their power, but she demonstrated it, placing one inside a box on the counter. Although no noise emanated from the box, it reopened a moment later, its contents now charged with the frightening power to unlock a door.
Neither Stevens nor the hotel's front desk manager, Mark Holtzman, cared to speculate if the box was inhabited by tiny demons or other creatures of the dark world, but noted the disturbing fact that the cards have been in use "for a number of years now in hotels across the country."
Tamblyn said later, "That must've been when I started screaming. I don't recall the face of the security guard who escorted me out, but I do recall the small black device attached to his hip which was chattering with disembodied voices. I asked him if they came from the souls of people who had used the key cards. But he didn't answer."
