This is my third hotel ghost story and hopefully the last story I will ever write. This happened in England UK, while I was travelling with my family. I don’t practise the hotel rituals before entering the room. It is not that I don’t believe in ghosts, but I just don’t want to acknowledge their existence, especially in a hotel.

To be honest, I can not remember when this incident happened and which Travelodge we stayed in. I just remember it was very dark when we checked into our room. We often booked Travelodges in the early days as it was often the cheapest option for a family of four. Their family rooms are usually pretty spacious and you know what you’re getting.

This is my second supernatural encounter in a hotel, but this time, the location was in Osaka. Before I go into details, why not check out my post on Chinese superstitions entering hotel room.

This happened in 16 May 2010; my sister-in-law, husband and I went to Japan for a holiday. On this occasion, my sister-in-law stayed in one room by herself, whilst my husband and I were in another room. It was a very compact room, but it had everything we needed. The moment you open the door, there was the landing and a toilet on our left. Then there was a double bed and a small table with books near the window. The room was bright and well decorated. I was very surprised to see a range of holy books displayed on the table. I did not look into the details but I’m pretty sure they were the Shinto holy book and bible.
