The Vanishing Hotel Room (also known as The Vanishing Lady) is an urban legend which claims that during an international exposition in Paris, a daughter left her mother in a hotel room and when she came back her mother was gone and the hotel staff claimed to have no knowledge of the missing woman.
LEGEND
According to the legend, a woman was taken ill while traveling in a foreign country with her daughter. While she lay down in her hotel bed, the daughter made a trip across town to pick up a needed prescription. When she returned, she found that both her mother and the hotel room that they stayed in had disappeared. No one remembered having seen either her or her mother.
ORIGIN
According to the Quote Investigator website and Bonnie Taylor-Blake, the author of the earliest known instance of the legend was Nancy Vincent McClelland who wrote a version in an article titled "A Mystery of the Paris Exposition" in The Philadelphia Inquirer dated November 14, 1897—in this version, at the end the daughter is told the truth by a french policeman about her mother's death from disease. The QI and Taylor-Blake also found a version of the legend in the Detroit Free Press in 1898 titled "Porch Tales: The Disappearance of Mrs. Kneeb", which designated Kenneth Herford as the author. It is theorised that "Kenneth Herford" was a pen name for Karl Harriman.
