I may have a tendency to trivalize certain matters and laugh it off but the supernatural is definitely not one of them.
I received the below from a friend but as for whether it works or not, I can't be 100% sure.
Better to be safe than sorry! You don't really want to have an uninvited guest snuggle in bed with you when you are asleep.
Here goes:
*Every single hotel, there shall be at least a permanent room which should be left vacant at all times. No matter how full the hotel is, they are not to sell that room(s) to any guest. It was said that special rooms are "reserved" for those "special visitors".
So, if you plan to stay in some hotel, always book in advance. Try to avoid walk in. If the receptionist told you there are no more rooms available, do not insist one anymore or try to bribe them to give you a room. If you do that, most of the time the room you have will be that "special room".
Sometimes those "special visitors" might go to other rooms also (surprise! horrors of horrors), so here's some tips on how to protect yourself:
- Before entering your room, always knock on the door first, even if you know the room is vacant.
Maybe its a good thing my parents brought me up to be courteous?
- After you enter the room, if you felt very cold suddenly and have "chicken spores", leave the room quietly immediately and go to reception to request to change room. Most of the time the receptionist will understand what's happening.
If not, lock the receptionist inside the room?
Of course, one should have the presence of mind to check that the air conditioning is not set to freeze your buns off in the first place.
- After you enter the room, immediately switch on all of the lights, and open the curtain to let the sun light in.
This sounds somewhat like in the Blade movies where sunlight dispenses all the undead... call me Daywalker afterwards?
- Before you go to bed, arrange your shoes so that one of them is upside down. Some say this is representing yin & yang to protect you while you're asleep.
My personal opinion is to leave the shoes as they are so that in the event that you need to evacuate the room suddenly, you need not waste precious seconds turning the shoes over. A sudden fire doesn't care about your "yin & yang" anyway.
- Always leave at least a lamp on while you're sleeping, preferably the toilet lamp.
But in horror movies, the assailant normally strikes when you are having a shower, no?
- If you're staying alone and they have given you a twin bed, do not sleep with the other bed vacant, try to put your things like luggage on the other bed before you sleep.
So you have to turn one luggage upside down too? Well I would try to join the two beds together... or simply request for a room with a queen bed. But no queens in my bed please...
Okay, it seems I am trivalising this as well ;P
