Chapter 9: A Frightening Experience in a Hotel Room

Some people I know think the hotel rooms in the Genting Highlands are haunted. My friend, Jamie, who used to work in the Genting De Casino, heard numerous ghost stories concerning hotel rooms in Genting. His friends and acquaintances working in the various hotels in Genting told him these ghost stories.

One of the most bizarre stories my friend Jamie ever heard concerned a particular room in one of the hotels. A close friend working as a housekeeper in that hotel swore to Jamie that it was a true story. She said one of her guests told her the story, and he shared it with me:

A boy named Ken and three of his good buddies decided to spend their junior college holidays at Genting Highlands. They had planned the trip for some time. There were many attractions in Genting Highlands at that time (back in 2003) but the casino was definitely at the top of the list for these four youngsters. The group of seventeen-year-old boys hoped they would get a chance to sneak into the casino for the first time in their lives.

Everyone reckoned Ken would have no problem getting in since he was tall and looked mature. “The guards will think he is twenty-one,” cheered Han, Ken’s close buddy. “He will be our representative for this casino trip”. Ken and Han, the oldest boys in their group, made all the necessary arrangements for the trip – including the coach transfer, hotel accommodation, and so forth. To save money, the four boys booked one deluxe hotel room. It would be crowded but the guys reckoned it would also be fun to spend a night together in the same room.

On the departure day, everyone was on time to catch the coach except Billy, who was ten minutes late. Billy, the best-looking but shortest boy in the group, was also the most superstitious. Before he left home, his mum (Mrs Kim) gave him four yellow-colored amulets. Each amulet was supposed to ward off evil spirits and protect the wearer.

On the coach, Billy passed each of the boys an amulet. Ken and Han readily took theirs. However, the most scientific of the group, Tony, simply refused to accept the amulet from Billy, saying, “Please! I don’t believe in this sort of thing. Take it away.”

The boys arrived in Genting Highlands eight hours later and joyfully checked into one of the hotels. They joked with and poked fun at each other as they made their way up to their room. Outside the room, Ken reached into his pocket for the key and was about to open the door when Billy stepped in front of him. “Wait,” Billy exclaimed, giving the door two knocks and chanting softly at the same time.

Ken gave Billy a curious look, but he knew what Billy was up to, given his superstitious nature. It is said that one must knock first before entering a hotel room. Knocking is supposed to be a sign of respect for the ghosts, which might or might not reside in the room.
