This abandoned 1970s motel and roller rink has a chilling past. YouTube channel “This Is Dan Bell” filmed an exploration of this so-called “murder motel,” where a heinous crime was allegedly committed over 30 years ago. Read about this fascinating location, and then watch as the footage takes you through the empty rink and to the very spot that locals say was the scene of a grisly homicide.
This motel was built in the 1970s. It was meant to cater to travelers along a nearby major road.

The motel was actually connected to a roller rink. The rink is also abandoned, and its cavernous interior is filled with everything from molted snake skin to ancient jars of dill pickles.

He says that one night in the 1980s, a strange man and a female hitchhiker checked into room 515 together.

Of course, it’s possible that the local man was just spinning a tall tale for the camera. The abandoned motel is definitely creepy though, with or without a bloody murder.
