A lot of hotels are
claimed to be haunted one way or other. Ghost stories
from hotels are usually nothing scary with some of
the victims claimed they saw shadows or figures while
others claimed to dream of them or heard ghost cries.
Nevertheless, some ghost stories happening in hotels
are very scary and terrifying.
The is this story
told to me by a friend, Yeang. According to
him, it happened to a security guard of a 3-star
hotel somewhere in Southeast Asia. I will not
disclose the hotel's name as this may prove harmful
to its business!
The security guard
(let's call him James) was relatively a new staff at
the hotel. That night, he came in to work as usual at
about 10pm. He went on his usual rounds at about 12am
and nobody had seen him since then -- at least not
until he came in next day to resign.
The manager when
asked James why he wanted to resign in such a hush
and he told her what happened:
I was on my usual
rounds at midnight yesterday. As I was approaching
the hotel laundry, I started having this cold shiver
down my spine. I thought the air-conditioning must
have malfunctioned. I did not think much of it until
I heard noises coming from the laundry.
At first, it sounded
like someone trying to break something. There were
sounds of 'tong, tong, tong' and then there was a
sudden loud cry. It was not any usual cry of a
person. It was so high pitch and broke the silence in
the basement of the hotel. Someone must be in trouble
and great fear. I rushed to the laundry entrance and
peeped inside. There were neither sign of anyone
inside nor the lights were switched on. I decided to
unlock the door and go inside to check it out.
As I stepped into the
laundry, I could feel the air inside was even colder
than outside. All my hair stood up and I could feel
the fear in me. I shone my torch around the laundry
and found no one there. I wanted to double check just
in case anyone was hiding behind the machines. I
gathered all the courage I had and walked further in.
I had my torchlight on my left hand and a stick on my
right.
I walked carefully
and slowly as I shone my torch around. I still found
no one and I decided to turn back and forget all
about it. However, as I turned around, I saw
something I swear I would not forget for the rest of
my life.
There was this lady,
wearing a long white night gown. The horrifying part
is that she was headless! I was stunned and I wanted
to run but my feet just froze there. This is not
really the worst part yet. I took another look at the
ghost and I saw her holding her own head by her side.
The eyes were staring straight at me! I was in such
great fright that I just fainted there.
I woke up a few hours
later and I went straight home. I was still horrified
by fear and I think it would be of my best interest
to resign.
