"Haunted hotel" (FR. "L'auberge ensorcelée") is a silent short film by Georges méliès, filmed in 1897.

The film lasts two minutes. It is in the public domain, so it is easy to find online:

This is the first known film of méliès, which represents inanimate objects that come alive to make fun of their masters. To create the effect of movement of objects used cords. Other special effects were created using fireworks and by stopping the recording (the technique known as "Substitution splice").

The man is going to stay in a hotel, but it begin to happen strange things: objects disappear and appear, explode, propel themselves. He long resists the impure forces, but does not stand up and runs out of the room.
