Experiencing a Strange Night in Malang

I spent my year-end holiday in Malang a couple of years ago. Me and my family stayed overnight in a hotel. The Hotel isn’t located in city centre. It’s about 2 kilometers from city centre. We chose that hotel because hotels near city centre were fully booked. When we arrived in the hotel, although it was not too luxurious but we thought that the hotel was cozy enough at first. We served two single rooms, because there were no double rooms left.

We saw room number one first. We didn’t know why, but we felt that the room had a bad atmosphere and not cozy. We felt a little bit disappointed but we ignored that feeling. I thought the second room would be like that too at first, but when the room boy led us to second room, the atmosphere was different! It was better than number one although they were same in type. So, my sisters and I preferred to stay in room number two to number one. Because there was no other choice of single rooms left, my parents stayed in room number one.

In the morning next day, my parents told us whether they had experienced strange things the previous night. First, they heard a water flow came from their bathroom for about one minute. The sound was so clear and loud. In fact, both of my parents didn’t open the tap. Second, the main light went out unreasonably. The electricity was okay and so was the lamp, as the room officer said. 10 minutes later, the main light went on surprisingly! A big question mark formed in my parents’ and the room officer’s mind. What a strange!

At noon, my parents decided to leave the hotel because of those strange experiences and looked after other hotel. My sisters and I couldn’t imagine if we experienced it. In the future, my family will not ever to stay in that hotel because we don’t want to experience the same strange things again.
