Room with more than a view, Haunting for a room ?

Room with more than a view

Most hotels are favorite for people who were passing through, instead of dirtying their valued residence.So called `dirty` house do not get ready buyer. Recently at Ritz-Carlton Millenia,a guest was found with a stab wound on the chest.His body was found on the bathtub on the 31st. floor. The retired Japanese,60.s,staying in Club Street condominium with his daughter,was cremated on Friday attended by six family members who flew in from overseas. Foul play was not expected as he left a suicide note.
Assured
Now the GM of the hotel, Mr Peter Mainguy assured to the media that all steps have been taken to purifies the room ,including all heads of various religion, including Catholic priests,Buddhist monks and Muslim religious leader. The ritual cleaning done, the room is seal off for a period.

Dependant on occupancy

Another GM of Rendezvous Hotel, said, the sealing, cleaning and period of unused is dependant on certain factors and seasonal demand for rooms.
The purifications are also for the hotel staff peace of mind. He added that the Rendezvous Hotel does not have any sealed room or previous cases of suicide. However some hotels had more than history and and great views on their suite.

John Martin the butcher
River View Hotel , by the Clarke Quay Place, was the place where John Martin, a former convict with a skill of butchery battered SA tourist Gerard George Lowe , and dissected the body in the toilet. He stole their credit cards and impersonate them. His crime spans Europe to Asia. Bloodstains were found which led to his being found guilty and hanged. He had cut up the body using his butchery learnt at British prison and bagged the parts into plastic bags.They were dumped into the picturesque Singapore River, site of the Merlion icon. The tourists and visitors must have more than a fright on the murky rivers history when the plastics bags were retrieved. The tide of the River is such that it flows into the sea.

Seedy Diamond Hotel
The seedy budget Diamond Hotel, scene of the murdered Indian women found under the queen size bed on the 4 floor also had been ritually cleaned last september. The occupancy factors dictates the use or unuse of that room .Most furniture have been taken out and new one put in place. For those in the know, the room is last preferred and least occupied.

Mandarin Oriental Hotel
Also in Oriental hotel,now Mandarin Oriental Hotel, tourist Fujii Isae was choked to death by two men trying to rob her.
In the past decade, in the Hilton Hotel in 1970,s Linda Culley was killed ,chopped up and place in concrete cabinet in Cainhill flat. The husband Michael Charles Culley, confessed finally on his death bed.
For the local workers and staffs in the industry, have an altars in the basement or some location.This is for the seventh lunar month when the spirits are free to roam. Prayers and offering are giving for appeasement.

Ritual Cleansing
Also most new hotels before they open for business have prayers and ritual cleansing conducted by priests and monks of different religion. The Resort World at Sentosa, the site of a prison camp for gangster long time ago, is steeped with histories. The Camp commanders Huttons and the prison officials were attached by the inmates prior to a breakout. It was the most brazen in the history of Singapore. Subsequently, the rioters were found guilty after a long trial and hanged.

Blakang Mati
During WW2, the local name for Sentosa was Blakang Mati, meaning back location for death. It seem atrocities were conducted at the site by the occupying armies. So can we conclude that Resort World at Sentosa will be more than a Resort, or playground for the kids.?

Guest that do not leave

This is a phenomena that I remembered overseas in LA. Or more exactly in Century Hotel in the Avenue of the Star. A foreign stewardess was found dead, and cramped overhead on the cupboard. They was a spare room for cooking and free video channels at the corner. For those sleepless and jet-lag, the latest movies fits the bill. And in the room, there are lots of sliding glass panels and drapes. Apparently after the body was found, in the months after, some who can `see` spirits were reported to see the stewardess floating in and out of the room. Probably lost and do not belong there. And in the months, the big crash of the jumbo during the typhoon, the biggest to hit Taipei. That is for the record.
