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

Oops! Now I really have to leave some lights on ... if I was going to be alone in the resort....
A true story happened to my friend in one of the more established hotels. She did a walk-in and although the receptionist told her the hotel was full, she waited for a room. Half an hour later, she got the room. Seemed that the hotel staff specially opened up a room for her.
When she went into the room, she felt eerie but took it as jetlag. She put her phone on top of the chest of drawers (quite in, not at the corner, or so she claims), then turned on the TV. The TV went off on its own. She thought it was the electricity problem since its a rather old hotel, so she tried again but the TV went off again. She tried a few times but the TV went off a few times.
So she gave up and went to shower. The shower turned off on its own. She tried a few times, the water went off on its own a few times. So she stepped out of the shower, only to see her phone moving across the chest of drawers and dropping on the floor when her vibration mode wasn't on, as if someone moved it and flung it on the floor.
She got out of there immediately and checked out. Luckily she managed to get a normal room in another hotel nearby. After that she did some research and turned out she was in a room that was in a "haunted" wing of the hotel, and normally the room would not be open to any guests unless absolutely necessary. My goose bumps came when she was relating the story!
