Genting Highlands in Malaysia



Here's a story based on an encounter my Aunt had. She used to be the Casino manager of this resort hotel. I'm not sure how recent this picture is of Genting, but ask any Malaysian, heck ask anyone from that region (including singapore and indonesia) and everyone will know of Genting Highlands. One of the most popular resorts, if not the most popular in Malaysia.

Genting Highlands is a fairly old resort as well. My mom worked there when she was in her early 20s, so that tells me the resort was probably build in the late 60s.

If you want to read a bit of history, here's the link

Anyway, on with the story...

There have been many encounters in Genting that have left many staff members shaken. My aunt recounts some pretty damn freaky stories, both her own encounters and staff members.

One late night, when the casino wasn't busy and the staff members were preparing to clean up the casino floor, my aunt would walk the floors a bit. Suddenly, she heard what sounded like a "tick tick tick" noise. It sounded like it was coming from a nearby roulette wheel. My aunt turned around to see the wheel slowly moving on it's own. It didn't last very long though, probably only a few seconds, but it left my aunt a bit shaken.

Another story involving my aunt had to do with the room she used to stay in. In the middle of the night, before she would go to bed, she would hear someone knock on her front door. When she open the door, no one would be there. However, as soon as she closes the door, the knocking would start again. She claims that one time she stood by the door, and as soon as the knocking started, she would open the door right away mid-knock to see no one there.

A room on the 12th floor (I can't remember the number of the room) is closed to the public due to a suicide. A man, losing all his money at the casino, decided to take his life by jumping to his death (back in the day, the windows weren't sealed shut). There have been a lot of cases of suicide by jumping in Genting. Mainly because back in the day, the main attraction of the hotel was the casino. Staff members have pretty much all recounted the same story about their encounters cleaning the 12th floor. While going about their duties, they would notice someone standing at the far end of the hall. This figure would just stand there, not moving. When the staff members sense something might be wrong and look his way, the figure would walk into a room. People describe this figure as being very dark...so dark, it seems to dim the lights where it stood. When the staff would investigate, they would find that the figure entered the sealed room.

A resort customer came running into the hotel and claimed that someone had jumped. When investigated, nothing was there, but the customer would insist on what they saw. There are a lot of reports like this. Genting staff have apparently come to expect it.

Of course, most famous stories are recounted by Taxi drivers. There have been many reports of drivers seeing "people" walking either up and down the hill at night. There's always something about the way these people that doesn't seem right. Such as they way they would walk, and their appearance. In case you think what's so abnormal about that, no one walks the hills of Genting. Genting is partially surrounded by jungle, and it would be suicide to walk the hills at night.
