The Mystery Call


This is another true un-explainable episode. It happened in a hotel room. After quite a long and tiring meeting, I headed to my room. It was around 4.30 pm, and I was busy cleaning myself in the bathroom when I heard a ringing tone..

Ring-ring..ring-ring..They were sharp and tiny little rings. I have two handphones with me, but they were not from mine. I looked at the hotel room`s fixed line, it was not ringing, but just to make sure, I picked it up. Confirmed, the rings were not from the hotel room`s phone. I could still hear the ringing..went to pick up the one in the bathroom, they were also not from it. Ring-ring..ring-ring..I looked around the room if there were any other phones or alarm clocks around, there were none. The rings suddenly stopped. I was puzzled but ignored it.

I went out for dinner and came back around 7.45 pm. I was so tired, and was about to take a bath when the room`s phone rang. Urgh..who would call me via that? Argh..why would the hotel staffs call me? I have put up a DND sign clearly, and did not want to be disturbed! Okay..I thought I better answer it, or else it would not stop ringing. I picked it up.."Hello..". Something answered, "@#$%^&*()+~<>?!" Now what was that? I thought I heard a baby answering on the other side of the phone, but then I could not understand what "it" was saying. It could not be a baby, it sounded too loud for a baby, and the language was not of any that I could recognized. What was it saying, it was not a man`s voice, it was not a woman`s either. It was like a noise from outer space, the un-explainable of the other kind. It sounded like an alien voice. It became louder, so I put the phone down. I began to feel scared and uneasy, something was trying to scare me, or want to have fun fooling around with me. I just ignored it and focused on my lappy and the tv.


Around midnight, I went to the bathroom to cleanse myself before heading to bed. When I was about to stand up from the sitting toilet bowl, something pushed me from the right side. I fell down to the left and my face hit the sink bowl, my glasses almost fell off. It was so painful, my left cheek was bruised. I just took a deep breath and went straight to bed with the tv on, Yassin by my side and a scissor on the other side. I said a mantra in my head that I will not leave the room, I will stay and fight it off no matter what. In bed, I heard a few knocks just above my head. I just smiled and dozed off. Stupid alien!!
