      You know, even the westerners practise the habit of knocking on the door of an empty hotel room before entering. I once experienced it overseas when the porter brought us to the room, knocked on the door, and waited for a few seconds before opening the door for us. He cheekily commented to us saying, \"Just in case...\"

      [quote=\"KingRascal\"]Is it true that we should avoid rooms right at the end of the corridor? meaning not the last room... was told such rooms are more prone to be haunted.

      After what happened in my trip to Penang last week, I have to say this may be true.

      We were given a room at the end of the corridor, a room which the receptionist did not release to us initially. But we had insisted on having a room on the same floor as the other family we were travelling with so they acceded to our request.

      That night, I was awakened in the night by \"someone\" slapping my feet continuously and so hard. After that I couldn't get back to sleep. Maybe there's a reason why the room was withheld.

      May be your family people trying to joke with you. πŸ˜‰

      Someone was saying most Hotel would have a bible and if they keep the bible open, one should not go and close it but leave it as it is. ..[/quote]

        I finally dared to read this thread after a few months… but still scared even in broad daylight!


        Just to add to the hotel β€˜pratices’. We also check UNDER THE BED. But for practical reasons lah. Years ago, my friend’s colleage was in New York on business. He arrived late in the night and zoomed straight to bed. The next morning, the police arrived at his office and invited him to the station for a chat because housekeeping FOUND A BODY under the bed. Apparently it had been already there before he checked into the room. Imagine his horror (and the trouble he was in)!

        Oh, just remembered. We check under the bedspreads as well. This advice came from a friend who likes to visit South America. He once found a scorpion (or something like that) nestled in his bed, right where he would have put his feet.

          Interesting. I thought all hotel beds are divan beds. So it never occurred to me to check under the bed.

                Hehe, definitely must check if you have a four-poster bed, or something like this:

                    Wow, so many horror stories, I :faint: and :!: :shock: every time! I don't really believe in superstitions, but I tend not to open umbrellas in the house, or step on cracks. I'm not superstitious, but prefer to stay away from things like stepping under ladders, or stepping on cracks... I guess they have a certain sense of logic to it, if you step under a ladder, and the paint bucket falls on you, that would be bad luck. If you step on a crack and fall down, it is bad luck...


                    P.S. Why don't people call out other people's full names at night? If there is a story, please care to tell, as I would like to hear it... TIA. πŸ˜„
