Signs that Bed and Breakfast is not a place you should stay

In the short story Landlady by Roald Dahl, the main character Billy is looking for a place to stay. He see Bed and Breakfast and thinks that it would be a nice place to stay because of its cozy aura. When he rings the door bell, something strange happens. A lady appears and comes to open the door the second Billy puts his finger on the doorbell. He thinks this is strange, but he puts his thoughts aside because it is really cheap to stay there. A room is already perfectly set up for him, so he goes downstairs to sign in. He notices that there are only two names on the book, which he feels are familiar. Both names are also from two or three years ago. When he brings this topic up, the lady tries to steer the conversation away so Billy does not find out who they are. The lady also stuffs her pets! She also says that the last two people who came here to stay are still there. Billy may think that all the strange things that happen are no big deal, but I think otherwise.

I don’t think that the lady is trustworthy. She has unusual habits that seem dangerous. Plus, her neighbors seemed to have all left, or stayed in their homes for a long period of time. She also mentions that the two people are still living there. This brings me to think that they are actually dead and stuffed.
