Tips for Haunted Hotel Rooms

They say, when you walk into a hotel room, there are a few things that you should do before you relax. The objective? To ease the spirit that happens to be occupying the room that you are about to spend for that few nights. The question remains if it’s really to ease the spirits there or is the truth really about easing our own minds from unnecessary thoughts?

Here are some guidelines that I’ve collected from various people about what you should do before you even claim the room as yours.

Rule No. 1 – Knock the door before you enter the room

You can even ring the room bell if you want. This is said to “inform” the spirits that you are about to enter the room. Its a polite gesture so the spirits might not feel offended if you just barge into their room

Rule No.2 -Flush the toilet as soon as you enter the room

This is say to flush away all bad things

Rule No.3 – Cover the mirrors in the bedroom

Remember to cover the mirrors. This is to ensure that they are not staring back at you from the other end

Rule No.4 – Make sure your shoes are both in opposite faces. E.g., one half of the shoe faces up, the other half faces down

This is to have the yin and yang effect. A natural balance in the room

Rule No.5 - Don’t leave the bed unattended (Double bed rooms)

This only applies if you are not occupying the other bed. Make sure you put things on the bed. This is to ensure you are not inviting any invisible vistors to spend the night in your room. In fact, I have a friend that finds any of his stuff to put around at even the chairs.

Rule No. 6 – Leave the bathroom lights on at all times

Spirits like to hang around at damp and dark places and your bathroom would seem inviting if the rest of the room has lights on. By switching the lights on, spirits might probably find your room inhabitable

Rule No.7 – Always request for double bedroom

This only applies to those traveling alone. Its said that by ordering another bed, you would not face a situation where the spirit might just be sleeping next to you as you can’t even occupy the whole queen sized bed by yourself.

Rule No.8 – Say “NO” to rooms near exits

They say that rooms that are next to exit (emergency) areas usually attract more spirits than other rooms. Why? Its because of the lonely and deserted stairway that attracts these spirits. And because they travel easily (through walls), they tend to linger at the next room just to disturb the unfortunate inhabitant.
