To those who have had some experiences tasting some hostel life may agree with me when I say that almost every hostel is haunted. I have had my share of these experiences. Quite interesting indeed. I am not an expert in ghost stories but I have heard many tales about them during my hostel life.
Our hostel existed since 1963 and was believed to be built on a site where some Japanese army were killed in battle. It was in 1977 during the Chinese New Year holidays when most of the boys went balik kampung or to their relatives' homes. I was also not around. My dormitory was 1c2 of Block C. It was only a two storey newer block and our dorm on the second floor is the same level of the road leading to Block A and B which were on a higher ground. Out of maybe 16 of us only 4 stayed on during the hols because they had no other plans.
On the eve of the Chinese New Year while they were of to bed around 11pm the surrounding was so quiet and there was a gush of wind blowing inside the dorm. I couldn't recall who but one of them suddenly heard voices and footsteps of a marching troop on the road which was clearly viewed from within the dorm. He called the other 3 and all of them witnessed the same thing. Soddenly the room became very dark and windy and there they saw a big dark figure in thin air floating on the ceiling. They were just stunned and scared. They could not utter a single word and just kept quiet until everything went off. The next morning, all the four boys suffered from fever until we came back 2 days later and told us about their encounter.
Another story happened during the early 70's. The Chief Warden whom we called Lee Van Cleef because he had some resemblance of the infamous western movies actor especially in the eyes. He was doing his routine midnight patrol. He was looking for boys who might be trying to sneak back after the midnight show in KL.
Suddenly he saw a few boys still in their all-white uniforms walking towards Block A. He did not waste time and went after the boys. The boys ran towards a big tree behind Block C and climbed up the tree. He straight away went under the big tree and flashed his torchlight towards the boys but what he saw were no more school boys but a few horrible looking creatures with fangs staring, grinning and laughing at him. That was all I knew... Oooops! Sorry!
