Incident at Malacca Hotel
My colleague recently came back from her holidays at Malacca and had a scare when she decided to stay at Century Mahkota Hotel. Century Mahkota Hotel, Malacca is currently located just behind Mahkota Parade shopping center. When she choose the hotel together with her husband, she thought it was the strategic location and affordable prices that got her interested but somehow did she not know that something eerie was lurking.
On the day she and her husband checked into Century Mahkota Hotel, Malacca they were pretty tired after the 2 hours journey from Kuala Lumpur. As soon as they arrived to Malacca, they took a quick lunch and proceeded to the hotel for some rest before heading for their pre-arranged agenda for the day. When they checked into the hotel room apartment, my friend’s husband decided to turn on the tap in the bathroom just to get the water running but to his horror, instead of clear water, he saw stinking dark brownish water. Noticing something amiss, he alert his wife and they decided to call the reception to get an answer for this “bad” service.
When the receptionist picked up the call, the husband explained the situation and demanded an answer why the water was unclean. The receptionist then asked the husband to hold on for a while. After several seconds, the receptionist came back online and told him, “Oh, I’m sorry sir but it seems that we have mistakenly placed you in the wrong apartment. The apartment room that you are currently staying has very long been vacant therefore causing the stinking dark brownish water since no one has been staying there for quiet some time.”
Do you think what I’m thinking?
The couple packed up their belongings and ran out of the room as fast as they could.

Nothing spooky about that… Mud and oil get clogged in water pipes if no water flows through for a while, just leave the tap running for a while and the water will become clear again. If your friend flushed the toilet she would have seen the same dirty water flowing out as well.
However… since the apartment has been vacant for a while, maybe it was also ‘dirty’ in other ways… a narrow escape for your friend perhaps?

i have a friend who owns an apt in Century Mahkota as a holiday home. And each time we go to Melaka, we will stay in that apt. and everytime we go there, we have to let the water run for about 30mins just like in the story. I believe it’s just mud and dirt lor… nothing spooky 😀

Its an old property..thus its normal for the pipes to be like that..truth be told that its spooky thats for sure but I think what this couple experienced is just a case of bad maintenance..

Was on a company trip awhile back in Ipoh, didnt bothered to get a reservation since we all thought it will be a day trip but how wrong we were, the due diligence exercise took us longer than we thought.
Not wanting to leave the work undone, our group..3 ladies n 1 guy, which is me, decided to find a hotel to stay overnight..unfortunately, most hotels were fully booked since it is a school holiday but alas, we got 2 rooms at Heritage Hotel Ipoh
Drive swiftly after our dinner and being the only male, i am alone in my room while the 3 ladies in an adjacent room. Shower n Isya’ prayer and off to bed since i am way way tired
Not entire;y sure what time it was but i was awoken perhaps a few hours after i dozed off by a very low murmur/snore of someone sleeping next to my bed! Wasnt particular suspicious, i tried to turn my back but i cant..i can blink, move my fingers but i cant move. The sounds getting louder and louder making it like a giggling sound of of a small girl.
The back of my body were touch by something hairy and the giggling turned into a audible laughter, i visibly felt that a pair of eyes were looking at me at the whole time
Powerless, i tried to move my body while muttering all sort of Quranic verses that i can muster…felt like an eternity but the moment i can move my hands, i quickly turn around and saw …nothing!
Nuff said, i was out like a flash next morning eager to finish work and get back to KL ASAP
After a few months, discussed this with some of my close friends, i concluded that perhaps i was too tired and my mind were playing tricks on me
Though it is not an incident i want to go through again.
