Haunted Hotel Room

This just happened last week to my colleague while we were in Johor Bahru (South of Malaysia). This was related to me by one of my colleague, KP.

Our job scope normally requires us to travel to Johor Bahru (JB) on a monthly basis to carry out audits. We would normally put up in a particular 4-star hotel close to the city for 2 nights to carry out our job. For the past 1 year of travelling together, nothing particularly strange or eerie happened while we stayed there and this comfortable hotel was NOT known to be haunted as well. However, it was not meant to be for my colleague that ill-fated night.

Normally, there are 4 of us travelling to JB each month, but coincidentally one of my colleagues could not make it for this trip due to personal matters, so that left the 3 of us travelling to JB. We checked in the hotel on the 1st day around 6pm after a tiring day’s work and I shared a room with my regular colleague while KP stayed alone in the adjoining hotel room. Both our hotel rooms were located next to each other and can be accessed through a door in the middle. I still remember the room number clearly: KP was staying alone in 607 and we were in 609.

After the 2nd day’s work and a yummy dinner, we went back to the hotel to rest and watch TV. Soon everyone was tired and decided to call it a day. KP, staying in the other room, closed the connecting door to our room and switched off his room’s lights to sleep. Halfway through his sleep, in a state of semi-consciousness, KP felt a cool wind blowing across his face, he did not move and after a few minutes it happened again. KP describe the wind as something similar to the air breeze felt when a passing car cruise pass you while you are waiting to cross the road.

KP at once knew that something is not right as he had shut the air condition down to ‘Low’ and all the windows in the hotel rooms are shut tight. There is no way a chilly wind can enter the room from outside. Wide awake by now, KP suddenly heard the sound of something flapping and once again the cool wind was felt right across his face. The flapping sound stopped somewhere near the coffee table close to the window and ended with a sudden ‘Thump!’. That was enough to scare the wits out of KP, he turn on the lights immediately and glance towards the coffee table, but there is nothing on the floor and no sign of anything that had fallen.

KP knocked on the adjoining door to our room immediately, I was still awake at that time and he requested to sleep in our room for the night. I can sense in his pale and shocked face that something was not right and we joined both the beds to make it a queen size bed so that KP can sleep. Nothing happened after that in our room for the rest of the night.

The next morning when KP awoke and went back to his room, he was shocked to see the bed sheet and blanket of the bed next to his (which was left vacant since he was occupying only one bed) was being pulled down and messed up as if someone had been sleeping on it the whole night. My roommate and I also saw the condition of the bed and without saying a word; we packed up immediately and left the room..... Was there an existing tenant already staying in the room? Did the hotel gave us a haunted room? I shiver when I think about the incident now...
