Haunted Ria Apartment, Genting Highlands
What was supposed to be a happy holiday turned out to be a nightmare to a friend of mine, Sheryn, when something unexpected happened to she and another 2 girlfriend of hers. Planning to enjoy the cool breezy hilltop resort, they planned out to travel with a group of friends. What they didn’t know was their choice of accomodation, Ria Apartment, Genting Highlands was haunted.
It started out when a group of them planned for a stumptuous dinner at thier rented apartment. So it turned out that a group of them went out to enjoy the breeze, another group of males planned to checkout the whole resort and as for Sheryn and another 2 of her girlfriends, they decided to be the chefs and stayed back to cook the dinner.
All was fun at the kitchen when she and her friends gathered to prepare the ingrediants when suddenly they hear noises from the living room. The noises were really loud and sounded like people enjoying themselves with a game of mahjong. Sheryn could hear people talking loudly and calling out the game’s card and thought that her group of friends were back from their short walk. She then get a glimpse of the living room to see who was back and asked them to help out instead.
As soon as she stepped out of the kitchen, the noises mysteriously stopped. To her astonishment, there wasn’t a single soul. Curious that she might hear things wrongly (although she was positively sure she heard the noises), she walked back into the kitchen wondering. Again, the noises started as mysteriously as it stopped. Her 2 girlfriends looked as frightened as she was when they realized that the apartment was haunted
Quickly, she and her girlfriends decided to stop cooking and hang out at the living room instead. All the 3 girls were still very much afraid when the walked into the living room. Because they were so scared of hearing the mysterious noises again, one of her friends suggested to turn the radio on.
The 3 of them walked towards the radio when all of a sudden Sheryn heard someone from behind calling her “Wui!”. Automatically, Sheryn turned her head to have a look at who was that and yet, there was no one except her 2 other friends who were too busy meddling with the radio’s switches.
Author’s Note : Sheryn never told me what really happened after that but I personally stayed in the apartment before and there’s always a creepie feeling about the whole location

My brother and his families went there in Dec 2005 and many of them experience the same thing….
In the bath room while bathing, the women would feel someone touching their back. Some of the men saw something in the house. It is really haunted.

i once worked at genting for few months. our hostel is at Ria apartment, can’t say much about the haunting or anything unusual in the place. althought it felt very spooky especially at night.
During my employment there(for a short period of 4 months) i have witness one suicide and another one(according to my colleague) at genting.
According to old timer- it’s a common occurence there.

Then suddenly her daughter cried “don’t take my toys, its mine”. Her mother immediately show angry, and shouted “don’t play my kids!”. After a few minutes, her daughter play happily. But during night time, my aunt friend cried for help..cause “someone” cekik her. She can’t breath and turn to pale. Then her family help and keep say sorry! After that, only that aunt been release from that “someone”.

back to the couple yrs ago during my earliest college time, we used to stay at Ria few times thru agent booking. The package was so attractive in which RM78 include theme park fare, breakfast, go and return fare for bus and cable car transfer from Gombak. that’s the best deal u never ever can get during tat time.Prior to the trips, we never heard bout spooky story b4, we jz feel so cold in the apartment every 9 and 1 of my spooky fren dare not sleep alone with his gf,instead he got all of us (around 7 ppl) sleep together in his room. The trips were safe n smooth all the time, jz a bit spooky and cold all the time. We enjoy staying that hotel until we watched a local made movie….where the movie’s primary contents were concerned bout 3sexy girl exploring the local (west msia) most famous haunted places, know wat, Ria is one of them!!!We were jz realised tat Ria apartment was well-known with fierce ghosts, not tame ghosts hur!!!!One experience by my frens who have 4 in the trip stay at Ria. 4 of them were playing Big2, when somebody said hungry n wan to cook somethin at kitchen for filling stomache. They distributed the playing cards equally to every1, n every1 had read their cards b4 they went into kitchen. After 4 of them came out from kitchen, know wat???all cards had been changed!!!! my god, i never dare to stay there anymore!!! For those who dun believe, u can try to explore floors like 18 or 19, (we faintly saw in the movie where the director asked the sexy girls to knock d door to challenge the spirits), there are lots ‘jimat’ or in chinese ‘fu’ on the door which are haunted seriously.

It wasn’t rumours about all spooky tales. I believe that there’s always an opposition in whatever u do & wherever it is. We have beggers, we have millionaires. We have positive & negative. We have gods & also ghosts. So, I do believe that Genting is one a very spooky mountain not only Ria Apartmts, but all resorts. I had a bad experienced of staying at Genting View back in my 20’s twice & during a broad day light. Was taking a nap while parents & aunts were playing mahjong outside the living hall. As it was quite stuffy in the room, I did not closed the door & left it juz open like tat. I took a nap. During the nap, I suddenly felt there’s a heavy thing on top of me & can’t breathe. My subconscious mind to get up or scream for help. I actually struggled in my ‘dream’ but I know I’m awake. By screaming out voicelessly & nobody could hear me, I mumbled a few chinese prayers. Within minutes, I was ’set’ free. That really scares me & came out from the room told my parents abt it. All they said was ‘aiya, when u sleep, ur soul will go wandering one. Ur soul wasn’t back yet when u want to wake up mah’.
October 21st, 2007 at 7:31 pm
Sometimes these tales are true even if not many will beleive….and some people will try to summon the dead just to see if they exist.I experienced a frightening experience when i was 13 during camp.Our teacher told us not to shine the torchlights on the trees and call our friends names out loudly but we could care less…one of my friend did the opposite of what the teacher said.We had a restles night,we heard strange noises from outside our tent,but we tried to sleep.The following day , my friend who did not listen to our teacher had black spots on her back…and we were scared to death when we saw blood stains on her bed…
October 21st, 2007 at 7:51 pm
maybe during the holidays i want to stay at genting…..but not alone with my other friends……….hopefully nothing will happen……..

I did make a booking for 3 Bedroom at Ria Apartment and enjoy cheap prices rates for SAF Regular last year October 2006 from Monday to Wednesday.This Ria apartment unit was for SAF staff since they got 2 & 3 bedrooms of two units.Me went there wih my family,auntie and cousin of total eight people.Since that week was consider Off-Peak,it was really really quite and we feel strange once we enter the apartment.We stay for a while and went to First World Hotel to enjoy the amusment ride and having dinner there.
We went back to our apartment around 10pm and all of us was very tired since we never take a rest since we reach here from singapore.Around 3a:m,I was awake by a lady laugh very loud and asking help outside the master bedroom window.I still remember that we staying at high-rise floor and who will do these.I was shocked and returned to sleep thought I was dreaming,wow lucky man.
The next morning,as we having hot drinks at the living room,I asked them if they have hear the strange noise around 3a:m,my auntie and my cousin heard it since they were sleeping at the living room.And they also can hear somebody was talking outside the main door before this incident happened.Immediately,we know this was not good,we left the place and proceed to Kuala Lumpur to stay the remainder nights since I have already apply my leave for this trip.But now,if I not mistaken the RIA Apartment has been closed.Is it closed temporarly or permanetly????
December 9th, 2007 at 6:33 pm
I juz came back from genting. Stayed der from sat, 2pm till sun, 10am at room 16419. Total there are 6 of us including my gf(the only female). Luckily ,thers nothing hapen only the kitchen door keep on swinging in and out. And all of us think its cause by the wind. But when u came out from the lift, u turn left and saw a hole shaped bullet on the glass door. Thats all. And by the way, all of us slept at the living room by moving out the two matress out. Haha! Overall we did enjoy genting but not to the maximum cause we juz stay der for 1 day. And for the apartment, our main motive is juz for sleeping overnight before we rode back home. To me, if anywhere u go overseas, always stick together especially at night. For those who are going there, enjoy yourself.

I am in awe. Ria apartment is a dreamboat from the Seventies! Everything is sooo retro here, and looks as if nothing has been changed, replaced or even cleaned since the Seventies! The corridors dingy and moist, the lights yellow and flickering, the atmosphere dank and moldy. Tres Chic! The 2nd floor convenience store – wow, words fail, its like HEAVEN to a cockroach like me. Soooo caked with the dirt of ages, sagging with disrepair and disrepute, sticky with the grease of aeons, its amazing. Make sure you visit the 2nd floor convenience store, you hear? It has more than 30 delicious varieties of Instant Mee, like LakSa, Ayam and Tomyam! Hurrah!! And the canteen at 7th floor, makes truck stops seem like Shangri La Hotel. The beautiful pictures you see on most booking sites do not do this place justice – this Ria Apartment is so so much more wonderful!!! Visit and stay at Ria Apartment TODAY! Its a priceless experience.

I would like to share a funny incident which happened to me many years back in the Ria apartments.
It was way back in 2001, sometime in July to August. During that time I was working in a small IT distribution company in Mid Valley, KL. Since all the colleagues were predominantly Chinese and very close to each other, we always plan trips together either for lunch or dinner right down to overnight trips to Genting Highlands, which we enjoy very much because of the cool breeze and relaxing atmosphere.
On one particular weekend, we decided to go up to Genting Highlands for an apartment stay. There were around 8 of us, 5 guys and 3 gals. We drove up in separate cars and met at Ria Apartments. There were a lot of agents downstairs ready to rent out rooms for guests around so we got hold of one and got a unit. It was a high floor (can’t remember which floor it was) selangor side.
That evening we had a good dinner and all went back early to the apartment to enjoy the company of each other and play cards. As the 2 blocks face each other, we decided to play a game, we wanted to see which block looked creepier than others. So we started looking randomly at the individual units there.
All of a sudden, we saw a unit about 2-3 floors above us on the Pahang side with only a lamp on (warm yellow light illuminating the whole unit (I’m not sure if it’s the hall or bedroom) so it looks quite bright. The curtain was open quite wide so we could clearly see what was going on inside. There was a young couple inside the unit playing catch with each other. The girl would run around in the room and the guy would try to catch her. The girl runs to the window sill and the eerie part is, she would look directly at us and wave frantically. Then finally the guy catches the girl and they would fall down on a sofa or a bed and the girl could be seen struggling with the guy a bit and within a few seconds, the scene repeats itself again in exactly the same manner.
This went on for a good 1-2 hours or so, all of us guys were in the hall in our unit witnessing the whole incident. We were excited at first, as we got to see some ‘action’ for the night, since we were with colleagues and wouldn’t be getting any and the girls were chatting with each other in the room. Getting bored of the incident happening opposite our unit, we decided to watch some tv, have some drinks and play cards, occasionally we would catch a glimpse of the unit above us and like a youtube recording, it keeps replaying itself.
The next day we woke up and went to the window sill to see if the couple was still playing catch with each other and guess what we saw? We saw that the unit looked like it had been abandoned for years, the windows were all boarded in and there was no way anyone could look inside from the opposite direction.
I will never forget that incident.

to be frank, i am spooked up by some of the stories told. Thanks.

We stayed at Ria Apartments in Oct 2005 for 2 nites, total 2 gals n 2 guys.
Our unit is on the 17th floor and there’s 2 rooms and a living room. So we left our bags in the rooms and headed for the amusement park.
When we came back in the evening, 1 of the room door when closed. But I remembered I left it opened when we left the unit, so we just thought it’s the wind that caused it. My bf tried to opened it, but it was locked from inside, no matter how hard he tried just couldn’t open it. Then the other guy came to help, suddenly the door just swing opened by itself and stopped b4 it slam onto the wall behind. As if “someone” was opening the door from inside. Accordingly to the guys, their hands were bearly on the door knob!!! …. it just opened by itself. The guys knew something was wrong, so we moved the bed to another room… all of us sleep together.
The corridor of the hotel seems to be very errie…. exactly like those haunted buildings in those hong kong dramas…..

By the way, why is Ria Apartment no longer available to the public?
I got experience before in Ria, all my cousins were in the room while our parents in the hall when suddenly one of my cousin climb out of the window and walk towards the hall window. she could have fell to her death but fortunately our parents saw it when she was walking outside and grab hold of her. Until now she dont know why she did that.
so anyone knows why ria is closed now????
January 9th, 2008 at 3:11 am
oh ya, and that night.. we could hear the lift sound every now and then.
That night, my cousin’s friend got sit by something.

Many, many years ago…perhaps about 18 years ago, my family would stay in a unit on the 10th floor of the Ria apartments that my aunt owned. I remember it to be an overcast, foggy day when I was standing in the living room. In fact, I still remember the old straw furniture, the tv, and even the sheer white curtains. I’m sure everyone who has been to Genting can picture the view I was getting looking outside the window at the foggy, dense forest…cable cars in the distance. I was very young then…perhaps 6 or 7 years old…and I saw something that fascinated me. I saw a woman floating just 10 feet from the window. I can’t remember if she was looking at me…but I was certainly looking at her. I vaguely remember the white gown and her long, black hair that fluttered quietly in the wind. She floated slowly upwards…and then downwards…and then upwards…and then downwards… I simply didn’t know to be afraid. I tugged on my mom’s arm and pointed at her, “Ma! Look! She can fly!!” I heard her gasp a little and replied “Choi!!” and pulled me away. I think she took me to the indoor theme park afterwards…perhaps just to be surrounded by people and get away from that window for a while. I disagree with the saying “seeing is believing” because I still question if it was all a figment of my overactive imagination as a child.
Perhaps about 6 years ago, a family friend stayed at my aunt’s unit during her stay in Genting. She swore to never stay there again. Interestingly, she was relucta

Perhaps about 6 years ago, a family friend stayed at my aunt’s unit at Ria during her stay in Genting. She swore to never stay there again. Interestingly, she was reluctant to explain herself beyond “it’s a dirty place”. After some pestering from me, she said that she could have sworn she saw a woman in a white dress floating outside the window. And she was moving left…to right….left…to right… I was so shocked to hear this. But more than anything, I felt that years of my self-distrust have finally been laid to rest.

During my childhood, our hobby is too neighbor’s doors and run like hell. Its because our Uncle and Aunts are busy Gambling at the casino, and the young ones are left in the RIA apartment just to chill.
Years passed and me and my schoolmates are grown up and we rent RIA apartment by ourselves. i remembered it was around 6-7 of us and man, our hobby is still challenging haunted places like the Well known RIA apartment (my Aunt works in Genting for 30 years told me it was haunted).
One the same night, me and 3 of our friends went to visit floor by floor using the lift too look for any sign of ghosts. we purposely challenge the 12.00am moment to do it. HERE IT HOW IT STARTS.
we were going to the 4th floor..and guess what…maybe during Chinese New Year the 4th floor were unoccupied and when the lift opened at the 4th floor. there were no lights at all! air condition is still centralize and its cold and dark . We regret in our hearts to do the challenge….But our ego insisted…
holding hands we entered 4th floor walkway around the rooms.. and told everyone that never call names and keep to themselves if they see anything. the walk took 5 minutes and we went back to our rooms and laugh about it.UNTIL 3.00AM ARRIVED….
theres a knock at our door, and we went to open it assuming 5 of my other friends are back from grogeries…Nobody. nah..scientifically must be wind too strong with loose door shaking creating something like a knock.
few minutes later, Another louder one. KNOCK KNOCK!. folk tales always believed if someone knock on the door twice (knock knock) it is highly not appropriate to open it as the spirit might enter the body of the one answering. i went to open it and nobody was there.
still in disbelief that it is anything related to ghosts we assume that it must be some naughty kids doing the same thing when we were young.(or its just my friends faking it) knocked and run like hell.
Me and my friend (theres only 2 guys left in the apartment) decided to hide outside the firedoor peeping in too catch the kids off guard when they come back to knock again..
we waited for few minutes when there’s a sudden chill that gave us both goosebumps followed by loud knock on our door. while we are looking from OUTSIDE! both of us were caught deaf where it is really a knock by something..not kids.not our friends..but..something. nobody was inside nobody were outside. but a definate knock on our door. We ran down the fire Exit.
We told our friends what happened and none of them believed. until we got on a car and the car gear box suddenly broke…(makes no sense) and both of us were having high fever the next morning.
we went down to the security guard and asked him is our room haunted. the security guard did not answer, he just kept quiet.

i was shocked when i was told by my cousin that Ria Aprtmnt is hounted . I didn’t believe it at the first time but when i read all those responds here, i felt a lil bit spooky. Now i remembered a couple of incidents tht happened to me and my other family (my autie,uncles n cuzin).
This is the story…We rented at Pahang Apartment for 2 days and 1 nite.And guess where was our room?it was on the top af the apartment which is 22 floor! We’ve been there before but nothing weird ,spooky happened or maybe we didn’t realize it.
It has 3 rooms a big living hall.But because there are too many of us (more than 10 persons) we decide to sleep together at the living hall.We were too tired because tht evening we had spend times played in the theme park. around 12a.m, all of us started to sleep and suddendly i couldnt sleep and when i looked at my watch, it was 1.30am! i cant believe that it still early cuz i thought i had enough sleep.
Then, at 2a.m, all my family members awoke and they also cant believe it was only at 2am! then they had some hot tea bcuz it was too cold. but I decided not to join them and just keep trying to sleep.
Then, after all of them get sleep back, it sound so quiet and suddenly i could hear some steps in the hse. i thougth it might be my uncle who just want to check us out but the steps getting weird as “it” keep walking in the hse for a quite long time. then my cuzins also claimed tht someone has “intai2″ us bcuz all of us were covered with blankets due to the coldness!
next in the morning, i asked my uncle if he was walking to check out us last nite, surprisingly he didn’t.he said he also could hear a child screamed more than 5 times tht make him awoke.but when he checked his baby, the baby is sleeping and it makes him goosebump. the screamed was too loud tht as if the baby is next to him.
then, another incidents happened when we get the lift and pressed 22 button, all the passengers looked us with weird face and this uncle maybe 1 of the workers said to us..”Waa,manyak belani ar lu?” We thought he said so because it is too high.but now i know why. we also faced an incident tht the lift suddenly open at 16th floor. but no one was there. and it keep opened everytime we entered the lift to get back to our room…

i do belive in ghost stories, to me, where ever there is human, there is ghost around. sometimes i wonder why some people saw all of these, so i went and ask my friend (who practise buddhism), he said it is either you are too unlucky (si wan dai) or that “thing” chooses you for reason. to me, i’ve never encountered such things (and i do not wish to!)
March 28th, 2008 at 1:43 pm
yes. me too. i heard many stories in genting. almost all the genting hotel are haunted, not only ria apartment. whoever went to casino and loses money, they killed themselves, what i know usually in genting hotels, they will kill themselves in the room. as for the ria apartment, they will jumped out of the window most probably, in the room as well. Well, it is their fault to lose their money and go to the casino. And I also don’t get it why do Genting have Casino? It is always because of the casino part.
And also, the theme park is another haunted place especially outdoor theme park. Space shot, so called the worst thing happened, there is some pole or whatsoever on top of the space shot. Her hair was like start on top and when it is the time to go down, her hair got ripped off, her head came out. That’s so creepy! And the cockscrew as well, years ago, one girl fell off of the rollercoaster.
I dont get it why Genting is haunted!
March 31st, 2008 at 9:29 pm
I strongly believe ghost do exist. But i dare not stay overnite in genting even with a group of friends & family members. Haha … i never encountered any in genting but in Fraser Hills.Yes! It was back in 1987.also like many others, heard footsteps all night long & water running from bathtub during midnight even no one is using ….Later the next morning before we checked out, a friend of my uncle suddenly came visited us (he was an ex-army) & said that there are some story behind our strange encounter. A woman was said to have commited suicide in the last room.No wonder the mirror in the last room were cracked the first day we reached there. Luckily “she”did’t disturb us or show her “real appearance”.Or else i would have fainted.

nothing happen while staying at ria apartment with my whole family for 1 night stay.we had a family gathering.17 of us.
April 5th, 2008 at 6:29 pm
This happened last year 7th September when me and my gal friend stayed there. Everything started after we came back from dinner at 10 pm.
We hit the bed at 11 p.m since we are exhausted after the activities in Theme Park. I closed the room door while my gal fren was doing the prayers with her bible.Once she is done with the prayers we started to talk stories when we suddenly heard something . The sound of a door closing and opening on its own.
The first thing came to my mind is wind. I went out to the living room to check out.It was the kitchen room. I guess those who went to ria Aparment knows how the kitchens door look like . There is no door knob on the door. So i get the Star newspaper which i bought earlier from the 3rd floor minimart to be used as door stopper. I fold the paper and stuff it under the door to make it stop moving.
It was a success . The door stopped moving and i feel relieved.
I went back to room and closed the door. I told my gal fren that nothing to be worried as its only the wind .We continued to chat for sometime before we heard the same sound again. This time i really got the goosebumps outta my body.
My gal fren took back her bible and started to pray loudly. I went back to check what happened actually before i found the newspaper was moved from the door and relocated few metres away from where i located it.And it was in a proper condition. If it was blewn by the wind there is no chances for the paper to be in proper condition.
I knew something was really wrong in the house but we dont have an option but to spend the night there in fear. The next day we moved early morning as 8 am and we checked in at Resort Hotel.
Few weeks back ,me , my brother and cousins went to Ria Apartment again . Nothing happened there .A week after that one of my cousin showed symptoms like being possesed. I dont want to talk about it much because he is my best cousin ever.
People out there !! Watch out !! I hope you people wont go tru the same shit i went tru….

I got a story about genting as well. but this time it is about the first world hotel. me, a guy fren, and two girls stayed in a suiet at the top floor for a few nights. it was 14-16/oct/2005, after our pmr exams. during the second night we chatted and played cards until around 1 am and fell asleep with the tv on to a jet li movie(forgotten which wan). me and my guy fren shared one queen bed while the girls took the another. ours was just beside the window which we kept shut since it was a cold night. at about 3 am, me and my fren next to me woke up. we heard noises. eery noises. it sounded like an old cantonese man singing. singing a sad sad tune. it was like a lament. and the worse thing was that the sound came from above us. and yet we were staying at the top floor. wat was up there?
we dare not tell the girls because we were supposedly not suppose to tell about ghosts when they come in case they disturb us. but on the way home the next day we told them and they confirmed it when they said that they heard strange noises in the bathroom as well.
genting is really haunted. wat with all the suicides and other deaths, i’m not surprised. i bet that sooner or later, sightings of a headless woman walking around will be reported. this is because one woman was killed not too long ago when her hair got stuck at the top of the solero shot. her whole body came down without her head.
i had a similiar experience as mamarock. when i was sleeping(not in genting) i could feel a weight on me. i couldnt breathe properly. and i tought i could see movements around me. but i cannot move a single muscle. when i try to shout, no sound came. it will go away a short while later. this happened a few times and everytime it was the same, restricted movement, no sound, but blurred sight. it may just be a recurring nightmare, but it happen to many of the ppl i’ve met.
June 6th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
i was at genting permai resort if im correct.. with my friends at 2006 if im correct.. we jus had our mid term exam..well.. we were drinking liquor at late mid nite.. well 1st night i was pissed drunk..woke up in the morning, my fren was asking “did you guys heard any funny sound like baby crying or dog barking?” well of cause i din hear it was to drunk XD.after that my fren came out from the toilet asking”eh who bleeded, why toilet got blood” but none of us bleeded,coz most of us were drunk. on the second night jus after dinner we were drinking again..well on of my friend was tipsy, so we ask him to go to the balcony to get some fresh air, out of a sudden he shouted “eh down there got ppl” which was in another block of apartment.. i was like” huh where got wor”.. i basically saw nothing, but he was still like”got la down there” after 1 few seconds he said “no more d la” out of a sudden he felt cold..extreamly cold as i can see from his face.. we put him in the room 4 him 2 chill but it din’nt seem 2 work, and we were also afraid that something might have gotten in to him, so we ask him 2 sit at the living room. all he did was he keep laughing for no reason, and he kicked my fren. after that next thing i knew he was sticking his tounge like a snake shaking it up n down, i scold him on his face, and he laugh again.. well then i was pissed, i shouted at him, then i ask them to call the guys thats in charge of the group. well they make him vomit and did a few more stuff, which i was’nt seeing XD.. after dat incident total up 2 10person was sleeping in the same room =.= well i could’nt even lies down, i must sit n sleep.. around 4plus in the morning my fren called me, and ask me if i can hear anything.. i said no.. he said concentrate abit! then there starting i keep on hearing door slamming.. i could’nt sleep till 5plus coz of the door slamming..

few experiences of ria apartment before it became a private own apartment:
1. elevator mysteriously go up to 15th floor, open-close-open-close, and down to 13th floor, up to 15th floor again, and finally back to my 17th floor.
2. toillet light mysteriously switch on (can be assume that it is lack of repair)
3. weeping voice from penthouse 22nd floor.
4. eerie feeling that some1 is following you everytime you’re in kayangan or ria. (assume because we are overimaginative).
oh and endnote: there’s an abonden room in kayangan apartment first floor. everything inside is totally emptied. it is cool, given that you like to challenge yourself to meet the unknowns ^^

I worked part-time at Genting for about 4 years from 2001-2005. Ria apartment was my hostel and I had stayed in different units (4th floor, 12th floor, 13 floor, 11 floor, you tell me) in the Selangor tower. Honestly, the place does look spooky. But I did not encounter anything except a few incidences where minor things happened like water tap turned on by itself, the window next to my bunk bed opened by itself.. but never saw ‘anything’. However, many of my collegues told me stuffs that they experienced but Im skeptical about them. Mind could do the tricks you know. When u are afraid, it will get to you even more easily because you are a ‘easy target’. So, try stay calm and not think about it. I had morning shifts and guess what, I had to walk to another apartment early in the morning through the hallway (in between the elevators) to my collegues’ apartment so that we could go to work together. Nothing happened although it was spooky. But i survived for many years, as well as some others who have worked there for many years (i know a few and they told me they did not experience anything major) and even some still working in Genting.
Try not to be too paranoid about staying in Ria. It will help if you are calm. Good luck all!
June 24th, 2008 at 1:55 pm
wow!!this is some stories…well, i dont know whether its true or not..as my fren always mentioned, good place to bring a chick..;)..i bet seeing is believing after all..nice comments, should go there and experience ownself
June 24th, 2008 at 2:22 pm
anyway, ghost is everywhere..no doubt a man is the devil himself..:p, well, talking bout ghost, its everywhere i bet, just a matter whether its visible or invisible to human sight. anyway, staying at Ria apartment might be the best place for party..;) perhaps the ghost can join the crowd huh…hehehehehe..try to bring video cam to know the truth if we can catch the ghost shadow..I might be organizing a merdeka party there..i will let u guys know if i find anything..till now…GHOST BUSTER!!!!

Genting IS haunted. I’ve heard so much about Ria Apartments and probably the stories you’ve heard explains why the lobby is quiet most of the time.Almost once in every 1 month or twice in 3 months, suicides are likely to happen (mostly gamblers who’ve lost their luck). Plus,it’s pretty cold up there. Only ppl with tough guts would most likely stay there and not experience anything but the weak hearted will. From babies cry,hearing ppl playing mahjong,someone calling out your name,something cold touched the back of your neck,main door opens and closes by itself,to witnessing an activity in an abandoned floor etc,seeing a figure in the mirror,I say I don’t really suggest staying there if you want to have the time of your life in the ‘city of entertainment’. Let’s not spoil the fun now alright!
July 7th, 2008 at 11:24 pm
Please enjoying the good place without frigntening each other. the world do have ghost.., just like we do have a god. treat “they are normal” if you r real buddish, you know… well.. this is nothing to be scare.
July 10th, 2008 at 3:25 pm
if you see a woman ghost just fuck her in the ass dont worry…..Genting is haunted.I stayed there last 3 years in Ria apart.I saw a woman in white dress flying with a long hair and dont have legs,maybe her legs been decapitated I guess.So it was early in the morning around 3am,I saw her flying left and right on the 22 floor window from my room.i was really pissed off,the reason i go there to bring back home some spirits which is normally done by the BLACK METAL.So I manage to catch a kid spirit.Untill now i still have the kid spirit…..normally I will bring it with me when I have Ritual to be done.RIA APARTMENT IS REALLY FOR BLACK METAL throne……..take care.
August 19th, 2008 at 2:24 am
i cant believe that so many spooky story at Genting..damn scary ah..haha
August 20th, 2008 at 9:52 pm
Well…
i’ve never actualy see ghose in genting ria appartment before…(but i do belive in them)
but i do have a friend who told me that when she came back from genting on a bus, the bus driver(which is a fierce woman) suddenly shouted foul words and say if you wanna take a ride on my bus you better dont disturb my pessenger in cantonese…
i assume that she’s either making jokes or realy scolding the ghost(if they realy existed)
for those people who never seen anything during their stay does’nt mean they dont exist rite?
September 28th, 2008 at 8:07 pm
wow…didnt know before genting is surrounded by ghosts @ haunted until i read all the above stories…i stayed in Ria Apartments around 10years ago with a friend.we chose that hotel cuz the rate vv good n the only available.the apartment is so damn big n has good facilities too..it has 3 rooms but we end up share the same room cuz it was very scary at nite.very quiet place cuz its quite isolated from other hotels (which is good for honeymooners)but thank god we were not disturbed by the ghost or encountered any spooky incidents,instead we were disturbed by the staff there…cuz we were 2 unaccompanied hot chicks ..hehehe..(or maybe the ghosts got scared after they saw us)…heheh…anyway,intend to go to genting again with family but will think 100 times wether to overnite or not….
November 9th, 2008 at 11:05 pm
plan to stay there this month end. now i’m thinking twice.
November 14th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
hi guys, after looking thro’ what you guys type i m not going there as i have planned to. No point spending money and get scared and worse if you bump into any of those.. When i was a kid, i visited genting quite often. At that time. the amusement park still didn’t have stuffs like the Corkscrew. I remember my grandma told me her encounter in the Genting hotel’s bath. She was then sleeping and sharing room with 2 other relatives. She woke up in the middle of the night to pee. Toilet door was opened. She saw one of our relative sitting on the toiletbowl as if she was also doing business. So she talked to her and ask her to take her time. But the lady in the toilet supposed to be one of my relatives sharing room with her didn’t answer. My grandma didn’t want to disturb her do business so walked back to the bed. To her shock, she counted the number of pple sleeping on the bed. Everyone was there sleeping soundly. So who was in the bath? She went back to check the lady had already disappeared… Faintszzzz .. Lucky for me i haven’t encounter such stuffs. But I wouldn’t want to try it anyway. Tho genting is a cheap getaway but I don’t wan to put my gf and myself at risk man!..Only the two of us is going .. These things usually strikes when there are less pple.. they love to pick times when u r alone.. If u r all in a group they can’t hurt u.
good luck man.. please remember to knock the door three times n say excuse me before entering a hotel room man!The best is don’t go la.. lol.. i wonder how can anyone still be normal feel ok after witnessing the amusement park ride that ripped pple’s head off.. imagine if u r sitting next to the victim then… have a nice day! thanks for sharing all those stories…
November 18th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
Wow…Spooky website and spooky Ria Apartment…
Here’s something my dad have experienced…
One night my whole family including me….stayed in Ria Apartment after watching the performance…Then we went back to the room at about 12am++….started sleeping at about 1pm++…I took a fast bath as i noe that Ria Apartment is haunted…so i never looked into the mirror…but i felt cold although i took a hot bath…and i never looked into the mirror…At late night….my whole family slept together….6 of us…i cant sleep at night and realize tat my dad cant sleep too…Next morning…i asked my dad why cant he sleep….he said something was touching his back….he never turn behind…and prayed whole night….i only got to sleep for 4-5 hours that night….so the next morning…realize i have panda eyes =D!
Until now…Whenever I go to any hotels…i dont look in the mirror too often unless im styling my hair…hehehe!
Here’s something u guys could use to make “them” stay away from you whenever u stay in a hotel…
- Try telling “them” that u are just staying in the hotel juz for few nights and u will be going off…tell them not to disturb u and your family….Juz say “Da gao sai , da gao sai, stay few nights then go off le” in Cantonese , Chinese , English or any other languages u noe…- it is pretty useful…
One more thing… – Pray more in your house – - Go to temple more often –
Nothing to worry about…

November 25th, 2008 at 6:14 pm
wow man!!!! all those experince above really freak me out…….
December 1st, 2008 at 10:19 am
For everyone’s information, Ria & Kayangan Apartments are NOT part of Genting, these are private properties, private apartments sold off to individual buyers. Since June 2006, all bookings with Genting for these apartments had stopped and the respective Management Corporations and Joint Management Body under the Strata Titles Act 1985 and Building & Common Property Act 2007.
HOWEVER, there are private parties renting out these apartments on their own. Which means they own the apartments and are making a profit out of renting them out, very much like in Cameron Highlands. Having said that, the apartment is only as good as the owner.
Now for these spooky stories, I do not doubt some of it, I know some myself, BUT there are some really ridiculous encounters stated here. Most of us had heard it from someone whom had known someone whom had encountered it themselves, BUT I doubt it, it just doesn’t make sense.
The all time favourite dead body under the bed is one of the most ridiculous one. Anyone with a divan and mattress will know that you can’t put anything in between them without it bulging out, what more a dead body?? And the stench from a dead body, who could have missed that for few days?? Simple example, leave a dead fish/chicken out and see how it smells.
Then someone up here said “centralized air conditioning” in Ria Apartments. LOL there’s no air cond in Ria Apartments.
Then another favourite, closed/abandoned floor in Ria, stuck all over with talismans and fu etc. Mind you all the floors are occupied, AND it’s not even easy to buy an apartment in Ria, anytime someone sells, it is grabbed almost immediately. YES it is that much in value. Over RM200 psqf and it’s a 22years old apartments.
And someone up here even said there’s an abandoned “room” in Kayangan. Kayangan are all apartments, and they go for even higher price than Ria. Much more in demand. The are empty apartments there, just because they could not transfer the ownership due to technicalities as most are Singaporean owners.
NOW for all that matter, I would be more afraid of human. What human could do to another is far worse. Like chinese say, the scariest ghost is “Kung Guai” (poor man).
December 3rd, 2008 at 3:09 pm
however…i know ther was haunted at ria…AFTER i reserver the room!!!^^yeah!hurray~
December 12th, 2008 at 12:01 am
The story sure really a truth story.
Now, my friend and her families are staying at there for three days.
Will the same story happens to them?
I hope nothing bad will happen to them.
December 16th, 2008 at 11:41 am
Wow dudes and ladies, awesome stories up there! Everyone do have their own experiences like me myself. Never seen them before though. Never could and never would. Only can feel their presence and hearing them talking. One thing’s for sure, I never stayed in Ria Apartments before but my Dad did. Some ghost aren’t hostile or aggresive that’s for sure. Here’s a story from my Dad himself.
Just wanna share a tale with you peeps. Back in 2006, he had a Chinese National supplier who visited him and where else to go other than the reknown ‘City of Entertainment?’ They rented 2 single bedroom in the Ria Apartments. Nothing happened in the morning, went ahead with their plans. Enjoy the day, came back around 2am and decided to thit the sack. My dad woke up 1 hour later due to enter the toilet. To his surprised, thecloset was widely opened. Funny thing was, he was sure that he closed the closet before heading to bed. Well, he closed it again, then proceed to the toilet. Came back to the room and closed the door. Cuddle himself in the bed and a few minutes later, weird things begin to happen.
First, slight knocking can be heard from his bedroom door. He didn’t care much and he never had any thoughts on that. Then came harder knockings on the door. Still as it is, my dad didn’t hinder the knockings. Seconds later, he heard clearly 3 very loud knockings on the door and the door suddenly just opened by itself. My dad was facing the door. He assumed that it was the wind and went ahead and check the windows. No windows were opened and he could not feel any wind at all. He knocked on the door and the knocking sounds is similiar. He reliazed that it might not be the wind after all and it might be very well be someone else in the room with him. He assumed that there’s a ‘being’ who might be staying in the closet. The ‘being’ might had followed him out of the room and when my dad return to the room my dad closed the door and he could not get in. So that might explain the 3 different knockings on the door. First knocking was soft and polite then came slightly harder knockings than the first as if trying to get the person’s attention (assuming my Dad had not heard the first knocks). The last hard and loud knockings might represent an annoyed person. Dad quickly apologized for his rudeness. He continued to sleep in the room and if it was me, I did move out of the room already. Throughout the night, he could smell someone in the room and feel that there’s a prescense in the room. He did not worry though as the ‘being’ is a polite and harmless one.
The next morning he told the China guy whether he had any strange experiences and guess what he said? “No, not at all.” When my dad told him what happened last night he just went pale. That’s about it I guess. Whether anot the story is true or false, it all drops by to the very one person listening to it right? It depends whether the individual believes. Drop the seeing is believing. I am sure most of us out there wouldn’t want to see them at all. Either way, I am very interested in ghost stories and had been interviewing people for their fair share of tales a few years back. Thought it would be cool of you to email me some of your stories. Could ya guys?:P
talltales89@hotmail.com
Well then I take my leave here first:P Take care everyone!

I’ve stayed at Ria Apartment once very long time ago back in the 90s and I agree that it is somewhat creepy.
What spooks me the most is the eerie silence of it. You cannot really hear what’s going inside the unit when you’re standing outside. Even the hotels in genting are not as quiet as ria apartment. Another thing is the apartment units. some have iron doors bolted to them and some you can see is plastered with chinese talisman. The whistling sound made by the wind also adds a bit of spook to it.
Apart from that, I remember the elevator is very slow. When i stayed there I used the emergency staircase instead of the elevator because it was just too slow. But the emergency staircase wasn’t all impressive as well. Although well lit, it was somewhat foul smelling due to people peeing there.
January 13th, 2009 at 10:41 pm
My goodness, this is the first time I read so many spooky tales about Ria Apts. I have been to GH for umpteen times since 1980 and had “bad feelings” only for losing money and not otherwise. I had stayed in Genting Hotel, Highlands Hotel, Theme Park’s and Ria Apt B4, but no untoward incidents. In the late 90’s I even rented the penthouse (22nd floor?) from GH booking office in KL so just to entertain my client and family from Penang. That family comprised 2 adults and 6 children (5 girls and 1 boy aged between 5 and 16). They took 2 rooms while me and wife used the other. We were happy and enjoyed every bit of the moment from arrival till departure. The only scary thing we thought was the corridors and their doors between units bcos we were thinking would-be robbers would find it a good hiding place. Maybe, just maybe, my heavenly Teacher is always there to protect me.
January 15th, 2009 at 11:48 am
I always heard about the stories in Genting and I am a shock when I am able to read everyone experiences in this .. Goosh !!dam spooky!…. I will want to think another 100 times to stay in Genting again.. l never stay in Genting till the First World was built and thank god nothing happen, but now I even heard that’s story in the First World. I will never want to stay there again if possible…

Went to GH few days back. Noticed that 17th floor in ria apartment block selangor dun hv occupancy at all. all lights were closed. Me and 1 more guy went up to check but heard some weird old tune frm some radio. when i went there, I saw 3 doors (left, right and front) were all closed. I peek out from the lift but saw nothing. We finally went down without encountering any prob. Anyway, i fetched him back to my condo as his bike was parked there. On his way back, his bike broke down. I never stayed in ria apartment before. My question – the 3 doors outside the lift is always closed?

February 13th, 2009 at 4:28 pm
To watermelon, please do YOUR homework, i stayed at Ria for more than a year, and work in Genting for more 3 years. My portfolio includes Ria and Kayangan Apartments, and i walked ALL the floors numerous times, whether it was myself, with security and even during Bomba inspections. Now dont tell me what I know about these apartments.
No doubt there are creepiness about the apartment but some stories are just too much..
February 14th, 2009 at 9:50 am
Agreed with civic98, i just went there last week and stayed in selangor block 20th floor. The block are full of ppl and i feel comfortable and the convenience shop at 2nd floor is open daily until 3am. Nothing was happen during my holidays there.
February 17th, 2009 at 10:48 am
Hi civic98
Im not sure if u’ve had visit every single floors in RIA apartment, but i can tell u that there’s one particular floor, i think it was a lower floor (cant remember) is really chained and sticked fully with talisman…

Based from all inputs gathered here I think it’s safe to assume that probably the whole of Genting area are shall we say…”unclean”.From my own experience, it happened when I was on a fun trip with my gf at “1st W” hotel (shortened for obvious reasons ;p).Not on the 1st nite (not a sound,no visual no nothing) but on the 2nd nite.We just got back from late supper at about 1am-ish and was ready to “shutdown” till morning.Barely 30 minutes or so after lights out,I kinda noticed that my gf was gripping across to my left shoulder a bit tighter that she’d normally would as she prefers to sleep on my right side.I didn’t make a fuss about it when she suddenly made strange hissing sounds and knee’ed my right thigh.There and then alarm bells were ringing in my head and I quickly fumbled for the bedside light switch.She was WILD eyed with fear when I got the lights on and literally jumped at me for a hug which she did.After a brief pause,I managed to calm her down a bit and asked if she had any nightmares.She responded that things had gone wrong for her the minute I turned the lights off because she claimed that as her eyes were fixed on looking at my figure (as things gone dark) coming into bed, she noticed ANOTHER darker,taller and wider apparition making its way to stand just on her end of the bed.She tried to scream out to me but when the “thing” was fixed just off her toes, it seemed to had sucked out her voice so she explained that was why she turned and tried to shake me awake.Just to comfort her,I proceeded to double check the room’s lock and latch,blocked the door knob off by stacking the side tables, the bathroom and the room’s window complete with opening that up and looked outside.Made sure that I pulled the curtain close properly then I hopped on back to bed,left a bedlight on and kept my gf armlocked.Of course that little incident had rattled both of us a bit but I insisted that we should still turn the lights off,changed sides and assured her that I’ll stay awake until she sleeps.Since I wasn’t so affected by the whole deal, it didn’t took long for me to shut it….My gf didn’t move her arms off me all the way till my cellphone’s alarm rang that morning.Woke up with a bit sore on the lower back as I didn’t properly lay flat and was cursing it.On our way back, I teased her that maybe that “thing” was a male because as it happened the only fabrics that covered her was the blanket halfway and that lace Y-back undie underneath.Got a nasty bruising pinch due to my fast mouth lol ./.
Was quite a bummer thing to happen on our last nite for the trip too if y’all ask me.
Funny thing is, we made 2 other trips up after THAT with no incidents whatsoever but iirc I did for one of those trips (it was a 2 couple deal) had suggested Ria apartments.Now I know why when our friends would always either; strongly object or try to divert from the idea.
But honestly I still don’t buy into this wholly because it’s best to approach things with a “hey i just come here to have some fun and NOT to poke around with y’all supernatural things” attitude.But of course there will always be some buggers out there wanting to “tease” us now and then, so it’s a matter of simple vigilance and focusing on objectives that’s all.Am I a”skeptic”?Far from it this is coming from a guy who has seen and experienced these things all his life so far.What I’m saying is that when you already know that “it” is out there, you should also know when and where to draw the line and how much should you let “them” affect you or not.Like it or not we can actually co-exist…

hi Guys…. well i and my fiance went to stay in Genting for one nite…. we went straight to the Ria apartment as it was cheaper than the hotels. We wanted a single room and the agent was keep on asking us to take one apartment and he will give us for good price. We both were not interested because we dont need a apartment for just both of us. At last we decided to take one room and we did ask the agent whether there is anyone else staying in the apartment. He said there are a group of 6 ppl staying in the master bedroom. So we was ok with it and went to the apartment. The cleaner followed us as she said someone has just checked out from the room and she needs to clean it. There was another room opposite the room we stayed.That room was empty and the master bedroom ppl were also leaving the day we checked in. So basically we both were the only one in the apartment.
After keeping our bags in the room we went to the theme park and play the whole day and came back. Around 6 something in the evening we thought of napping forwhile. Of course before sleeping we was chit chatting and suddently our room door was oppened by itself. we heard someone hold the door knob and opening it. My fiance went to the door and checked because i and he remember that we had locked the door before lying down on the bed. He said it might be the wind and maybe we didnt close the door propelry. He just try to make it positive. After a while we could hear someone opening and closing the room door opposite. We was abit curious because there was no wan else in that apartment. We also heard the kitchen door slamming and even the toilet lights were closed eventhough we left it open. We couldnt continue sleeping and got ready and went to indoor theme park and had our dinner . We didnt want to go back to the apartment and bought tickets to watch “Casino Royal movie” at 1 am in the morning. I slept off in the theater while my fiance was enjoyed the movie. Around 5 am we walked back to the apartment and went to sleep. I slept off but my fiance couldnt sleep and he can feel something was wrong. He could feel someone scratching his legs . Immediately at 8 am in the morning we moved out from the apartment. It was a bad experience and we did not enjoy anything much because of the fear.
After that we did go and stay in Ria apartment few times with friends. It was good and nothing happen. We really enjoyed. I wont say that there is nothing bad in there but it just depends on certain apartments. Not all the apartments has the same feeling. Just be confident and calm …….

My gf’s dad and mum shared their experience with me once when they spent a couple of nights in Ria Apartment with their family. One night when they were fast asleep there, the mum woke up when she noticed that her husband was moving out of bed and walking to the window. She cried to the husband who did not answer her. Realising that something was not right and that he wanted to climb out the window…she ran to him and screamed loudly. At that instant, the husband woke up and turned back. She immediately grabbed his hand and pulled him back in.
Asking what he was doing, the dad was looking very confused and blur…and answered that there was a woman dressed in white pulling him to the window. He just din have any control over it and was just able to follow her. It was when he heard the mum scream that he woke up from this thing and realised that half his body was out the window. He was definitely shocked and explained that he remembered seeing a woman and it seemed that he was possessed by her.
That moment on, they did not dare sleep for the rest of the night and decided to check out the very next day.

Its been around 10 years since the last time i go to ria apartment, and i just it today, the trip is peaceful and i neither see those things nor feelings of it presence. Before entering the unit, remember knock the door 1st, and the shoe don’t arrange it nicely, those thing might wear it if u arrange it properly. The lift can access to 13th floor but i didnt wanna go there
April 12th, 2009 at 6:22 pm
hmm hard to believe. here is true story. just came back from ria last weekend. at night while at kitchen, noticed shadow of a women of the next apartment although no one was staying in that apartment. no light also. cannot be my refelection casuse I wear tudung, the women did not. next morning around 6.30am, heard the lift opened, and the door bell rang shortly. I could not see any shadow from at the bottom of the front door. no sound of anyone walking also. just door bell. I don’t dare to open. So, either the place is haunted, or someone is playing pranks… and very good at it. Anyway we chedckout the same morning although we plan for 2 night. holidays should be pleasant, not full of worries.
April 22nd, 2009 at 1:23 pm
is it true about the gurl ripped off her head?..
o.O
April 23rd, 2009 at 3:10 am
aiyoh… i read all these stories at 3am now getting goosebumps and couldn’t sleep…
anyway, i’m a heavy gambler and i go to genting once a month to gamble, alone most of the time.
i never stayed in that so-called ria apartment (nor will i ever, after reading all these), but i always stay at the hotels (first world and resort hotel mainly), and so far, i nv encounter such supernatural thingy (n hope i will not ever in my future trips because i always go alone most of the time).
May 3rd, 2009 at 1:05 pm

Thrs no such thing as those according to me. 5 times to ria last year. goin soon again.. have nvr ever experienced such things… I enjoyed the place fully. Y so scared? Thrs nothin there except mahluk halus such as ants and termites… relax people… go genting to enjoy…dun think anythin else… Cheers.
May 3rd, 2009 at 10:31 pm
stories sound too fake to be true
most looks like it came from imagination and creation
also the stories about a weight pressed on the body, there is a scientific explanation for that(i forgot it’s name though).
it’s a waste ria is closed now as i’d personally head there to proof to myself and all that there are no ghosts there
May 18th, 2009 at 4:25 pm
All bullshit! I have stayed in Ria Apartment for at least 50 times during 2001 to mid 2009. I stayed alone before, stayed with a friends before, stayed with my family before, and nothing unusual happened. Do not waste your time writing & creating ghost story at Ria Apartment. It is never exist in Ria Apartment. Ghost or spiritual things do exist in certain places and I bet you that you do not want to write about it if you have experience it before.
June 2nd, 2009 at 11:03 pm
I planned to read every story in this comment area, but it’ll take me daaaays!
all stories are interesting… & i’m sure they’ll be trouble wen i sleep tonyt…
I’ve stayed in Ria before & thnk GOD! nothing happened…. all i know is… Genting is haunted.. & tht’s a fact… & in a few years time… the whole genting will be fully haunted… it’ll make a good movie actually… >_<
June 6th, 2009 at 5:57 pm

June 16th, 2009 at 5:49 pm
Goodness me, my family and i were just back from our first Genting trip and we stayed in Ria Apartment (Selangor). it is ok and nothing went wrong for us. i guess if i have known all these things that had happened there, i won’t dare to stay in the apartment. lucky for us, we knocked on the door before we went in and called out loudly “Sorry to disturb for a few days” when we entered into the apartment. so, i guess with such courteous guests, they dun mind sharing the space with us for a few days.
July 1st, 2009 at 5:45 pm
Naturally human and animals will not disturb you if you do not disturb them…. This goes to the spiritual being everywhere… To not getting disturb, you must first respect them….
Myself have been staying in the in RIA for more than 20 times from 2005 – 2009, not counting Awana Genting and First World. There was once I went to Genting with my bro and cousin and we booked the penthouse in RIA since there is more than 8 of us… 3 of us went up earlier to check in and waiting for other relatives to reach as they are working till 10pm… Around 11pm we recieved a call from my cousin’s mom saying that her shop is on fire and she and other relatives will be only arriving the next morning… End up only 3 of us in the spacious apartment… 3 of us were actually scared at first because we too have heard about those spooky stories bout tat apartment… We are silly… We plan to sleep in different rooms since there is 3 rooms and we did not want to leave the rooms vacant… But there’s nothing happen and we slept well that nite… Nothing spooky… Nothing eery…
Tips:
Never leave the other bed empty if the room has 2 beds and you are only using one… make the other bed messy and put your luggage on the bed to make it looked occupied.
Do not ever leave your shoes in a proper manner.
Knock on the door and always say “sorry to disturb”
Close the toilet doors when you sleep cos it is believed that spiritual being normally from toilet.
These are the thing that I will always do whenever I stay in Hotel or Apartment (During Vacation)….
Dun worry guys. Always remember ” To gain respect is to respect others”. Have fun to those visiting Genting soon.

I am a regular at Genting (to gamble hehe). I always had some “experiences” though not serious ones, like there was once I walked into the casino upon arrival and won RM$2000 in 20 min (dun ask me how). Then I went back to my hotel room to take a nap cos was very tired after an overnight drive. I slept alone in the room and shortly after about 30 min, I heard a wild scream that woke me up. I dint bother to see if theres anything, just got dressed and went out to take a walk. I walked into the casino and lost RM$1000+ in just 10 mins. Then I suddenly “woke up” and thought wat the hell happened and why did I still walk into the casino again. So overall I believe thats how casinos work if u understand wat i meant.
On another trip with a gal fren, I returned to my room in Resort at about 2am after some winning games and she was sleeping soundly. The moment i walked into the room, she jumped out and asked me why did I bring 2 girls back? I turned on the lights and assured her there was nothing and she still described in detailed how the gals look like to me. After calming her down and putting her back to sleep I went out of the room to get some food. I asked the lobby where there was food at 2am+ they told me to take the lift to B5. At first I tot, wah wanna send me to hell is it? becos i remembered the basements are all carparks where did they have any food stalls? Anyway i just tried my luck and really there were some food stalls at B5 meant for those local taxi bus drivers. I chatted with the hawker and told him wat happened just now. He said he haven really heard of anything in Resort Hotel but he confirmed that in First World Hotel Tower 1 there was 1 whole floor that is closed and nobody is allowed to stay there. See if u guys have heard of this b4.

1. One Fengshui Master told me, when he went there, he heard someone calling his name in Hokkien. Not many people calls him by that name other than family and old friends.
2. He confirmed that there’s a particular floor of one of the hotels there that has been left vacant on purpose, for “them”.
3. sgporean32 is a normal case, when you win, the “them” will find ways to bring you back to the casino and to lose more.
4. There are tips to how to avoid this, but the Master is not revealing. But his advise: when you’ve won enough, go away.
I won’t cite names here, because of I’m not authorized to make a statement about this.
August 7th, 2009 at 6:07 pm
sgporean32 – do you know which floor is closed in First World Hotel Tower 1? I went there many times and there was nothing happened to each floor which is opened to all. The only one is Resort Hotel, there are no 13th and 14th floor lift to go up. Anyone knows?
August 8th, 2009 at 12:56 am
do you know which floor is closed at First Word Hotel Tower 1? I went there many times but nothing happened on each floor.
August 25th, 2009 at 2:36 pm
i heard the 13th floor… western’s believe , number 13 sites evil presents ….so building in america or other countrys replace number 13th to 12A or 14A …..not only in america , but if u travel around malaysia ..most of the hotels stopped using number 13 as in floor or room….even nowdays housing developers are restricting number 13 in the house numbering ….. ( wana know how creepy house number 13 can be ? , i suggest you guys to watch these hindi movie = ” 13 B “
September 17th, 2009 at 3:09 am
i planned to go there after hari raya with my girlfriends and boyfriends. planning to stay at ria apartment jugak. should i go or should i cancel the trip *after planning it for so long dy* as i read all the above comments saying all hotels and apartments in genting are really haunted ? humm
September 19th, 2009 at 11:50 am
to my believe , feeling creepy or creepy things around us decide the way we make things flow up with us ,….. so why wana think hard about a place is merlly haunted ? if god is around us all time ….then ghost are too ! so be brave all time since this kinda “thingy” alwayz underflow ppl who are weak in heart or trust …so build up ur trust and be enuff brave to face anything …i know its hard , but errr…we have 2 do it anyway
October 29th, 2009 at 10:09 pm
I just stayed overnight at First World Hotel Tower 2 Floor 13. Nothing “interesting” happened. Many years ago during school holidays I also stayed at Kayangan apartment with a group of other friends. Again nothing “interesting” happened. I have heard a lot of stories from others, but have yet to experience it myself so far.
November 11th, 2009 at 5:41 pm
went there few times but luckily nothing happened.
November 22nd, 2009 at 9:25 pm
Some interesting stories here.
Is the Ria Apartment the one with Pahang and Selangor Towers? Can’t remember as I haven’t been to Genting for over 15 years.
Anyway, the reason why I did a search on Genting was because of a chat I had with my PhD advisor a few days ago. Out of the blue, he asked me if I believed in ghosts. I told him I didn’t because I’ve never seen any yet. I’ve probably been pretty well placed to see any ghosts if they did exist because:
i. I’ve lived next to a cemetery for 2 years.
ii. I’m living right next to the city morgue now.
iii. I travel home from my lab past the morgue and a cemetery at all hours of the night on my bike or by walking
iv. When I was living in Malaysia, I always preferred to drive in the middle of the night because it was cooler and there’s less traffic, so I’ve traveled along many of the highways and roads in the middle of the night.
but I’ve never seen anything supernatural before. I asked him if he believed in ghosts and he just said that he drives at night a lot and have seen some strange things.
Today, I recalled an incident on my first visit to Genting over 20 years ago. I was about 8 or 9 and I was there with my family and relatives. The adults had spent the night gambling at the casino, if I remember correctly. Only the kids were at the apartment. As usual, I was the first one up. I went downstairs on my own. Think we were staying at the Pahang Tower. I walked across to the Selangor Tower and entered the lobby. I felt very strange as the lobby seemed to be totally empty except for a desk and some payphones. There was a surreal feeling while I was walking through it, exploring the place. The elevator seemed to broken and when I lifted the phone, I heard a strange mumbling/chanting sound on the other side. I was more easily scared as a kid, so I ran out of the lobby and back to my own apartment as soon as possible. I returned a half an hour later with a few of my cousins in tow and found the place to be fully lit. The layout of the whole place looked different and everything seemed to be working properly again. No strange noises from the phones.
Until today, I’m not really sure if it was a supernatural experience. That’s the closest I’ve come. Nothing spectacular, but a bit like I entered into the twilight zone for a short while. Wished I was a little braver and stayed a little longer to find out.
December 5th, 2009 at 1:17 am
Should i go ? I will stay at Ria too .
December 8th, 2009 at 7:33 pm
i got mine story too,wheather it’s spooky not it depends on you.
okayyyy…
that day i went up genting with 3 friends, 1 girl and 2 boys.
my friend parents have booked us the apartment.
of course,without hesitation we just went in and stayed.
after throwing our trunks and stuff we headed to theme park and have fun.
around 9 its dark out there, we walked back to our apartment as dad and mum was in casino.
we went back and ate our dinner with maggi cup and just hanging around.
then…
after everyone bath.
its around 1 a.m…
nobody sleeps in this early hour as if the night is still young.
they had their games on and began to laugh and high.
but for me, i was sleepy cause im kinda sick.
i asked them to lower their voices down so that i can sleep.
but its hard for them cause all of them were having fun.
till 3 a.m…
suddenly.
all of us kept ourselves quiet cause everyone was getting exausted and tired.
out of sudden..
we heard a trumphet music just outside of our room blewing music for around 5/6seconds
all of us just stun right there and listen.
but there is no more,
all of us just keep the lights on and sleep till tmrw morning.
luckily there is nothing happen in the bathroom.
thank God
December 11th, 2009 at 5:24 pm
i don’t know why but why does it have to happen at 3 am? *shivers.
and.. i’ve been to genting.. and guess what? me and me bro + my dad watched a ghost movie.. TILL 12 AM!! and how dumb of me to not feel afraid.. wait.. dumb? no.. lucky..
December 17th, 2009 at 3:17 pm
ermm.. nice story, totally freak me out. i wasn’t really search for story, i just wanna noe the price for hotels on peek days. haha.
Just want to share i’ve been in ria few years back there. with my colleges, few girls, less men n feels like heaven. kahkahkah..
actually noting much really happend, slamming doors sound is usual by me, crazy lift, pale enviroment.
but watch out at the lift. i donnoe but it totally scares me. smetimes when i wait for the lift, i can feel there are soo many people around me n i been watch.
just like they wait for the lift too. wtf. i don’t give a damm.. and the lift, its open itself soo many times at floor that no one there waiting.
soo scary thoe. alone and the lift play2 with u like that in the middle of nite. shit. seriously,on that moment i just prepare my kungfu boxing punch, if smething ugly show up when the lift is open. feels like the longest time i’ve been in the lift. thx god nothing show up.
But for me there are always “someone/smebody” who live there. maybe a ghost or what ever. just dont disturb them. anything happend, just let it be(unless u are confirmed they will hurt u). things like this happen anywhere, could be at ur house, hostel or office. we are not alone on earth. just relax and u need to accept it.
January 31st, 2010 at 9:25 pm
not all the area at GH are haunted…. one particular place i think…. it has it own protection… full of chinese gods altar and feng shui protection… the casino…. not even toyol can get in… with the guard of the chinese gods…..
February 5th, 2010 at 5:26 pm
I stayed at Ria very often during the 90’s when i was a teenager. These stories bring some of my memories back. I went there with friends. It happened quite a few times when one of us falled sick after we came back from Genting which only the medium can heal. The medium will then informed that it ‘happened’ at Genting.
The kitchen area was the most unusually cold place, there were chains and ‘fu’ if not mistaken at 13th floor, lifts stopped at certain floor for no ppl, sounds from toilet and above unit (at unusual hours), door bell rang with nobody, lifts were too slow, we always got the ‘wrong’ direction to the apartment no matter what (there were few opposite lifts facing other lifts), quiet corridors, quiet lobbies, in an occasion my possesed friend wanted to jump down from the window (next morning doesn’t know anything) and etc. All indirect approached.
I would say it was an adventurous place to stay and not to mention bang for the bucks too. The atmosphere…..you gotta feel for yourself, out of this world. Late mid-night is the time when it happens…..always.
March 3rd, 2010 at 11:46 am
went up there wif my highschool mate in 1998. nothing happen thoughout our stay there, maybe we have a lot of ppl (20-25pax). but once i enter the apartment, can feel very uncomfortable n spooky…that place definitely is haunted!!!
