As a travel reporter, I always have a lot of tour guide friends. That night, I was drinking with one of them and heard a chilling story. Although he had only heard it from another colleague and there was no way to verify it, I could sense a hint of truth in his sincere expression.

"Usually, when we guides sleep, we share a room with the driver. We do have our own work room, but for example, when we go on an island loop tour, if the driver is from Kaohsiung, when we get to Kaohsiung, he won’t stay at the hotel — he’ll go home to sleep. And that’s how the story begins..." My friend put on a mysterious air that made me want to shut him up.

Like any other guest, when the tour guide arrived at the hotel, he would knock on the door first and say, "Sorry to bother you!" That day, his tour guide friend did the same. He felt very hungry at night, so he went to the night market and bought some late-night snacks. He turned on the TV, ate while watching, and then turned off the lights and went to bed late at night...

"He was sleeping when suddenly, the TV in the room turned on by itself, and then the lights in the room suddenly lit up as well. He woke up completely!" But the scariest part was yet to come. "He said he saw his remote control being lifted from the bedside table between the two beds and then dropped straight to the floor."

Hearing this, I really got goosebumps. "And then? What did he do after that?"

My friend continued, "He started chanting 'Amitabha' frantically and called the front desk to ask for a room change. When the front desk asked what happened, he said he felt uncomfortable. Luckily, there was still a vacant room, so they let him switch. And that’s how he spent the rest of the night uneventfully. But he said he was scared something might happen again, especially after seeing the lights and TV turn on by themselves."

It wasn’t until he left the hotel later that he looked it up online and found out that the hotel in Chiayi had once experienced a fire, and some people had died inside... "Maybe some restless souls didn’t want to be left alone, or maybe my friend had moved something," my friend speculated.
