Few years back when I was still studying in college, I had this part time job with an Australian market research company. For one of the contracts, the boss decided to send our team of 4 including our manager to Guam US to conduct a survey for gas stations on the island.
Our manager had flew few days ahead before us to make necessary accommodation arrangement for us. The 3 of us then took a midnight flight which transit at Seoul, loitering around in Incheon International Airport for lengthy hours. By the time we reached Guam, it was already 3 in the morning the next day. We were all exhausted and longing for a comfy rest before we had to start working in 4 hours time.
After each of us got the key to our own room, we dragged ourselves and luggage up to the forth floor. The moment I stepped into the room, I could smell an unpleasant odour. I wasn't comfortable and I felt something was just not right but I couldn't tell why. Still I put down my luggage, switch on the light of the bathroom and had a quick glance. I went back to where I left my luggage, opened it and took whatever necessities for a quick shower. I swiveled back to the bathroom but the light was off! Which I was sure I left it on. So I tried flipping the switch but to no avail, it's dead. I went down to the receptionist and came back up with him. He went into the room whilst I was peering from the outside of the room. He flipped the switch and guess what? The light was on again!
Well that was completely insane. I requested to change a room but the receptionist said there were no rooms available until the morning. So I went to one of my colleagues room, he said 'There's nothing to be afraid of!' and I retorted 'Let's exchange room then, I'm not going back to the room again, would you please drag my luggage here?'. That night I ended up sleeping in his room, and he shared the room with another colleague. And I had my room changed the very next day.
Though it was several years ago, thinking back the incident still send a chill down my spine.

Ola Nuffnanger!
Ghosts aren't nasty or anything like that. SOmetimes I wonder why people are afraid of them so much (even I sometimes get shivers)
Still, I think the reason why we're afraid, is not because of what they 'might' do...but rather because we don't know what they can or cannot do. Or what they are or are not.
Still, don't worry! I see/feel ghosts everyday (or it could be just schizophrenia) and if it is a comfort, nothing has happened to me, so far. (^.^)
PEACE
Tot u're sharing something nice on the Guam island... chey....
