Guest "I'm afraid of an incident"

A man in his 50s, who was staying on the first floor of a simple lodging facility at the site, said, "I started to hear voices and sounds of going up and down stairs from around 6 am, and then an ambulance came. About two months. I had heard arguing voices before, so I thought it was the same trouble again. I'm scared that such an incident happened in the place where I was sleeping. "
