Blast From The Past?

Back in 2006, I went for a island trip with my ex-gf at Pulau Redang. It was a trip organise quite suddenly as I was working overseas during that time and my holidays are not very long. We went for our romantic trip during March and stayed at one of the beautiful resorts on the island (I shall not reveal the name but the resort does have SPA facilities).

Although I have not heard of anything spooky about the resort before we went there, but the big room that we had checked in does make me feel a bit uneasy. Furthermore, the balcony of the room overlooks the rainforest trees which cast a spooky shadow over the gloomy room. Anyway, we did not spend much time in the room and we had a great time outdoors snorkeling and island hopping. Due to lots of activity during the day, after dinner I was already asleep once my head touches the pillow.

IT wasn't until the final day of the trip when we are had already checked out and waiting for our boat back to mainland that my ex-gf told me about what happened in the room. Our package trip was a 3D2N package and on the 1st night, my ex-gf had apparently saw a dark silhoutte of a woman sitting at the edge of the bed. The woman was dress in an old style grey dress and has long hair. She sat quietly with her back facing us gently stroking her hair with a downcast expression. Scared, my ex-gf dare not scream nor cry out instead she just shut her eyes and mumble some prayers to sleep.

On the 2nd night something more dramatic occured as the spirit of the woman re-appear stroking her hair on the bed while I was fast asleep. Suddenly, my ex-gf witness another spirit of a man coming in through the door. The man had an angry look with unshaven beard. My ex-gf disclosed that as the spirit of the woman sat on the edge of the bed, the man came in through the door and started a commotion with the woman (my ex could not make out of what they were saying) and in a fit of rage the man brutally grabbed the woman by dragging her hair and started attacking her brutally.

That was when my ex-gf screamed out and the spirits vanished in an instant. Poor girl could not sleep for the whole night and as for me, I thought I heard my ex-gf scream out that night, but I virtually slept through the whole night. Coincidentally, the next day I had a high fever and was on medication for 1 week without seeing any 'bomoh', so that was probably due to the heaty, sumptous buffet dinner that I had at the resort, or is it caused by the spirits?

Was there a murder that had happened in that room before? Who is the man & who is the woman; are they jilted lovers? Or was it just the tired mind playing tricks?
