Haunted Hotel for the unwary

Article from Ms. Ching

In Asia countries, many ghostly sightings have been reported regarding hotel rooms. The people in Asia are very particular about choosing a hotel room. Genting Highland Pahang in Malaysia, an entertainment resort is regard as one of the most haunted place in Asia. Several people have committed suicide here either by hanging in their room or jumping down from the window of their room. Some rooms are not for rent no matter how much you willing to pay for. Another phenomenon is that a lot of hotels does not have the 13th floor, they will replace with it with the 14th floor. The 13th floor is considered to be the portal to the underworld. Spiritual entities could gain access into our world thru the 13th floor. I will avoid both floors because I knew that the 14th floor is actually the 13th floor in disguise. These phenomenons are not just across Asia but also in hotels in Las Vegas. According to my friends in Singapore, Singapore Polytechnics, a tertiary campus had their block 13 removed as it was rumor that many strange occurrences had happened in this block in the past. Below is some guidelines and taboos I have compile, it serve to educate the unwary.

Taboo 1
Avoid the room on the extreme corner or room near an exit. This is because unwanted entities like to lurk in these areas

Taboo 2
Avoid room with number 13 with it or the compounding number that added up to number 4. Eg room 1012 as 1+0+1+2=’4’

Taboo 3
Always knock on the door before entry to the room. This serve as a friendly gesture to the ‘occupant’ in the room in inform that you are taking the room.

Taboo 4
When entry into the room, flush the toilet immediately. This is to flush always all the bad things.



Taboo 5
If you feel a sudden of cold draft of air when entry to the room, immediately change for a new room.

Taboo 6
Avoid a tall tree blocking when views from the windows. This will cause eerie hallucinations in the night. In Asia culture, the older a tree is, the spirit residing inside will be more powerful.

Taboo 7
Look for some signs, it could be a charm, talismans, bible or any religious symbolic items. Do not pick up any of these items for souvenirs. It is best to change the room immediately.

Taboo 8
Cover the mirrors in the bedroom, this is to avoid ‘something’ staring at you from the other side. Some room decors have their mirror place in from of your bed. Imagine the first thing you see when wake up is a distressed view of yourself. It would probably freak your own self out.

Taboo 9
Place your shoes in facing in opposite directions.

Taboo 10
Pad on your pillows three times each and flip over for a good night sleep.

Taboo 11
Don’t leave any beds unattended if you are sleeping alone with two beds in the room by placing items all around to claim ownership.

Taboo 12
Leave the bathroom light on all the time and don’t close the door when not in use. Spiritual entities like damp and dark places. I also leave the TV console on as well as it create a livelier environment.
