Mysterious Encounter at Bali Resort

Mysterious Encounter at Bali Resort

A trip to the Indonesian island of magical paradise of Bali but had unfortunately left with some mysterious incidents.

Tuti is from Indonesia when we were studying in the US in the 1980s. We have kept in touch only once in a while and presently she is works in a large advertising company in Indonesia. She emailed me that her whole family will be going to Bali for a couple of days of relaxation.


A Ride in Bali town

They stayed in a bungalow-type in a resort with her husband, two kids and her mother. The first day, Tuti’s mother who was assigned to a large bedroom suddenly asked her, “Who is sleeping with me?...what if I find “somebody” in my bed?” Strange, Tuti thought her mother do not believe in the existence of ghosts or hantus. Anyway, Tuti suggested that she will stay with her mother in the bedroom during their stay in Bali.

The second night, as they finished from hanging around Bali, they were struck by a power failure. The whole bungalow unit was left without electricity and they had to scampered to look for candles and torchlights. They were later told by the resort’s staff that it was a common occurrence at Bali.

On the 3rd night, after putting her kids to sleep, Tuti was walking in the living room clearing her kids’ toys where the lights went off. Tuti had to gather the candles and the torchlight from the kitchen in the darkness…

Asian Tsunami

Asian Tsunami

It must be nearly a decade ago when I first read about the Asian tsunami that brought the devastating waves which swept certain regions across Asia. Stories poured from the media and the internet from eyewitnesses who actually saw or heard from the dead people of this truly tragic incident.

On that day, 26th of December 2004, thousands throughout Asia lost their lives when angry and furious waves swept the coastal region in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, Thailand, Malaysia etc. On that fateful day without warning over two hundred thousand lives were lost as huge tidal waves raced and trashed the coastal areas in the region.

In Malaysia, over 60 people lost their lives especially in the island of Penang and eye witnessed saw some disturbing apparitions.  Some people say that ghosts are not angry but merely confused and they cannot move to other world. They just wandered restlessly in this earth.

 In neighboring Thailand, especially in the Andaman coast, there are reports of tales about haunted beaches, liked people playing on the beach in the nights and of moaning and crying “people” when there was nobody there.

I heard this story from a friend who visited Thailand a few years ago. Rose Leong was with her husband for a holiday at a Thai beach resort.  When they check into the hotel they met with a young receptionist who was extremely friendly. A few days later Rose was told by the staff of the hotel that the young receptionist no longer works there.
