US Travel Blogger Recounts Horror Story About Being Stalked, Harassed and Trapped in Delhi OYO Room

'It's like I was in a horror movie. I couldn't relax in my bed at night because this was the place where I was supposed to feel safe.'

India is not a safe country for women. While people will claim we've progressed in terms of mentality, India still continues to be the most unsafe country in the world for women. That is not debatable. That is a fact.

This fact remains true of the women also visiting India - as tourists, or as people here for work. A US travel blogger was not exempt from the treatment an everyday woman faces in India.

Jordan Taylor, who is a US-based travel blogger known for Travellight and has a Youtube channel, which documents her adventures. At the beginning of 2016, Jordan left her life in Miami behind to travel the world with no particular destination or end date. Her most recent stop was India, where she faced a harrowing experience.

In a vlog, she opens up about an experience she says is still difficult for her to talk about, and was the result of what is still a "traumatizing experience" for her.


Taylor states how at the end of her trip which had otherwise been great, some really negative things started happening. "Men, who randomly passed by would reach out and start touching me, groping me." She specifies one instance, where a man "leaned into my face and said 'I want to **** you.'"

She also shares how she stayed in a 5-star hotel which gave her full name, room number and other personal details out to a stalker.

Then she shares the scariest bit about her trip. She says she checked into a hotel room, which was a property under OYO in Delhi's Paharganj.

She states how after her boyfriend left the hotel four days before she did, the hotel staff instantly started acting differently to her. "At one point one person even followed me up the stairs." She began to get menacing phone calls on the hotel room phone, and mentions how "this phone was only accessible by the hotel and it's employees so I knew it was one of them calling."

The phone calls contained things like, a long stretched out, "Heyyyyy baby" and "sexual noises and heavy breathing into the phone," with lewd noises and obscene included.

Two days before she was set to leave, someone came to her room, asked her to open the door, and at her refusal, came back with something heavy and banged it on the door. Then, she heard the main switch for her AC being switched off, which was located outside her door. After they switched it off, they demanded loudly that "the AC was broken, and we need to come inside to fix it." Obviously aware of what had happened, Jordan didn't answer her door. The hotel staff left and telephoned stating the same thing. This same gesture was then repeated by turning the Wifi off.

After this, she could see shadows under the door, as the person would move and come back. Soon, she could see the shadows of multiple people outside the door. While they repeatedly kept asking Taylor to open the door, she didn't respond, "Because I felt that if I opened the door, something bad would happen."

Recalling the experiences in the video, Taylor started choking up and stopped talking for a moment.

She said that the shadows were constant outside her door and "this went on for two days." While this incident unfolded, Taylor was stuck inside with no water or food. "It was like I was being hunted," she states. "It's like I was in a horror movie. I couldn't relax in my bed at night because this was the place where I was supposed to feel safe."

She also shares a video of the shadows that were present under her door.

Realizing that she couldn't leave, she noticed a small period in the early hours of the morning when the shadows would disappear, so she took that opportunity and left for the airport at 3 AM in the morning.

While she stayed brave through the ordeal at the hotel, she says that she lost her composure after leaving - and was crying in airports all over the world. Taylor also talks about being angry and annoyed at the situation, and wondering what she could have done differently.

She ends the video stating how she has had a good time in India before this - but the experience ruined it for her. She continues on how she was going to be part of what was "her dream project" in India with a company, but she couldn't take that project on anymore. She says it did not make sense for her to release the current video she was in, and then at the same time release other videos of adventure and fun with the company that she was supposed to be working with. She says that while she would like to visit India again, it wouldn't be for a while.

Reddit India in a tweet shared Taylor's experience, and OYO Rooms responded, stating that they were looking into the issue.

A comment by an Indian on her YouTube video.

Sincerely speaking as an Indian, please don't come to India ever alone if you are a girl. It is even more dangerous if you happen to have White skin and are attractive or just attractive (to understand why I wrote 'White' specifically, look up on the Internet about the obsession with fair skin in India). Forget all that nonsense of spirituality and Moksha, all that is pure BS. If you really want to see how miserable a third world country can be, please, please come in a group of 5 to 10 people, with equal men-partners who look strong enough to overcome some simple physical attack. I will get a lot of flack for deteriorating my country image but that's how it is. Sure, you will find a lot of good, beautiful, honest and intelligent people, but that is just pure statistics. It will be a miracle if in a country of 1300 million people you don't find one. It has nothing to do with any culture or some great heritage.

If you are a man, it is 20 times safer for you but again, stay in major cities. It is a miracle that how we are functioning after all the chaos and misery people face here. I went to Europe 2-3 months back and believe me, it is not distantly possible for anyone from a developed country to even fathom what a mess we are. Stay safe, don't be fooled by any advertising you see or hear. If you are really interested in knowing this ancient culture, try to find someone in your country who comes from India ( you will find there are a lot) and interact with them. They will be probably a hundred times more civilized and helpful than any local guide you can find. Stay safe. Sorry, it will take some more time (maybe decades) before we reach the same level of public-behavior and life-standards that you people enjoy. Again, for people coming after me, yes I understand that some white people are responsible for part of this problem, but we can't really do anything about it now except making it better ourselves.

Edit: People who seem to be disgusted by indecent and lewd comments made by Indian people here, ignore them. They are paid - IT cell workers of the current ruling party (BJP) and this is their daytime job. It is unclear to me what purpose they serve though.

LMao I guess both of you have been raped by cops in your respective countries.

Male rape is quite prevalent in Pakistan it seems.

I went there with my girlfriend and she was still groped and sexually harassed, groups of men would surround us and pass comments in their shitty language and laugh, almost smashed a few ugly, disgusting Indian faces in but since there were lots of men surrounding us I decided not to take a chance.

It is not just about foreigners and or it is about fetish for white skin, it's is about being perverts, sex deprived maniacs, P*orn addiction and experiencing it, India ranks two in the world in making P*orn videos, and they think every white women visiting India as a backpacker is a slut...

hi. I am from India and I am a travel photographer. I have faced the same situation in many places of India. once in Gaya , Bihar infront of police station just below Dominos, one man tried to grope me on the road while my boyfriend was like 5meters ahead of me. Literally India is the most unsafe country. It doesnt matter what skin color u have. I have seen african girls being groped on street in Delhi. Here even if you raise voice, everyone passing by will just ignore you.
