Okay, since I’m bored in the office now reading up all your eerie stories. I would like to share my personal experience happened not long ago, say about 2 months back at Cameron Highlands.
I was offered a free 1 night stay at Equ*torial Hotel Cameron’s by a bank after my credit card was approved. So, I planned out to go with my gf and stay there for the weekend. The drive was awesome as it was a low peak season, the place was less dense, and not many cars on the way up.
So, there we were reaching at the peak of the highland, arriving at the hotel. It was kinda odd, when we arrived, there were no other customers checking in except us at that time. I mean, think about hotels normal check-in times at 2pm, defiantly there’s at least a few people queuing up at the counter. Anyway, that not part of the story.
Moving on, we got checked in, the bell boy offered to carry our luggage up to the room, so we took the privilege to take our time to go up. Then arriving at the 8th floor since I requested for higher floor, the bell boy was already waiting at our door Room 825. Then I passed him my room keys to open the door. Now, I usually have this customs of ringing the bell and knocking the door to request permission to the ‘beings’ to stay in the night at any hotels I’ve stayed so far, so we have this mutual understanding of I don’t disturb you, you don’t disturb me kinda thing. This time, the bell boy being there at the door to service us, I got distracted and it totally slipped off my mind to do my ritual before entering.
Then once the bell boy left, we got excited as the room was huge, with a private balcony, we went wild, running all over the place, checking the bathroom, turning on the TV, jumping on the bed, checking the place out bla bla bla. We spent the whole day in the hotel, until it was time for dinner.
Well, just before dinner we were watching some TV, my gf was lying on the bed, and I was sitting on those single seat sofa (you know what I mean). It was close enough to the bed so I could hold her hands while watching TV. Then it was about 7pm, the show we were watching ended and we decided to go grab something to eat. We left, and when we returned, my gf opened the door and walked in front of me, as I was just behind her taking off my shoes, she stopped dead at her step and just stood there... I took off my shoes and saw her standing there half way asked her what’s wrong? It took her awhile... She said... did you move that chair before we left? Then it hit me, the chair I was sitting is now sticking side by side with the bed! It was literally too close than I last remembered... but I didn’t want to freak her out, I said ‘yea, I moved it just now’. She relieved from her freak state and calmed down. And we went on and watch some more TV and enjoyed the cold weather, and that incident totally slipped off my mind. I then, went out to the balcony to take a smoke, I was just looking into the night view then looked at the connecting block next to us, then i felt even more odd, as there was only one room light that was on on our floor, And two more on the lower floors. There were only 4 occupancy that night at the hotel.
It was about 2am already, and we were still watching TV, I was darn sleepy already as my gf continued to watch some more, I dozed off without even realising. Then she too turned off the light and went to sleep. It was approximately 4am, at that time I was feeling a bit uncomfortable with the bed as it was new to me, I kept rolling and was sleeping light. I felt like someone was walking in the room, then I opened my eyes and see my gf was walking up and down on my side of the bed, she was having a real bad hair day as her hair was all messed up and serabut. And then when she walked back, I saw her eyes were bloody red. I kid you not, I can’t see any other colour of her eye pupil, it was just bloody red. I didn’t say anything at first, I turned around and see who was lying beside me... it was my gf too!! Facing the other way... I was like WTF! Then I realised that the person that was walking up and down wasn’t really who I think it was. I couldn’t say a word, I just started to mumble, I couldn’t make up any words, then all I did was shout ‘DON’T DISTURB!’. Then my gf woke up and shouted back at me “SHUT UP”!! I looked up, and it was not there anymore...
Then I just said, ‘nothing, go to sleep, just talking in my dream’. I couldn’t sleep from there on... after awhile, I dozed off again, and then I felt the same sensation of someone is back in the room walking, this time I didn’t open my eyes at all, I just turned around felt my gf, checked weather if she’s human, touched the head first to see if the hair was right and just hugged her to sleep. Didn’t say another word, then it stopped disturbing by morning.
Next mornings, woke up, act like nothing happened, went for breakfast, packed up and check out of hotel. On the way driving back, as soon as I was on the highway then I was brave enough to tell my gf what happened the night before, and she too told me, she felt like someone was staring at her when she was sleeping, and me shouting all of a sudden freaked her out even further, but she had to hold it in and went to sleep. The only thing I still wonder is, why did it took over my gf’s image... hmm
So, ladies and gentlemen... From my experience, I’ve learned that always respect their territory. If some places are left unoccupied for a long time, they will settle in, so always knock and ring the bell and ask for permission to stay in.
END.
p/s: sorry for the long story... just a bit too expressive.. :)
