If you're heading to Chicago for an overnight stay and you happen to see some Air India crew members lingering in the lobby, be warned, your hotel could well be haunted.

The paranormal activity reportedly has the crew of Air India so freaked out they've been forced to share rooms because they are afraid of sleeping alone.

The matter has allegedly driven the deputy chief of cabin to write to Air India asking the airline to look into the matter immediately, according to ANI News. (h/t India Today). Further, wrote the letter's author, "I would also request you 'Do Not' assign me any Chicago flights till the hotel is changed, as it's very uncomfortable in the hotel."

While India Today could not verify whether the letter was a hoax or not, they did reach out to an airline spokesperson, Dhananjay Kumar, who said the matter is "under investigation" and that Air India is "in contact with our Chicago station."

The full, unedited letter, which was first published at ANI, reads:

Majority of the crew are facing negative energies through paranormal activities in the hotel, most of us share rooms and sleep as we feel scared sleeping alone which is very unpleasant, after operating an ULH we are not able to get proper rest as these things keep playing in our mind.

Even online there is a complete description about incidents of paranormal activities about this hotel still the contract with this hotel was signed.

I have been coming to this hotel since November'16 and every time something unpleasant has been happening. I would request you to look into the matter and change this hotel on urgent basis as most of us don't feel comfortable staying here.

I would also request you to please 'Do Not' assign me any Chicago flights till the hotel is changed as it's very uncomfortable in the hotel.

Let's not wait for any miss happening to happen. Waiting for the necessary action."
