Spirits at Traveler’s
Lodge
A neighbor’s son who was at that time about 17 years old was
always getting into trouble. He was practically failing badly in his studies
and he was into smoking, drugs and drinking alcohol. He and his friends decided
to rent a room at the local Traveler’s Lodge. The management was reluctant to
rent out but they eventually agreed, provided they accept the room that was way
out of the other guests. That was fine with them, as they did not care whether
they stayed and only matter to them is a place to party to drink and smoke.
After a night of partying, my neighbor’s son woke up and
found that he was lying face down at the carpet floor. He looked around and saw
a feet where he was sleeping. He quickly rolled over and he was surprised to
see a boy squatting over him. He cried out, “Hey man, who is that
kid?...somebody’s little brother!”. Nobody answer and he fell asleep again
(probably crashed out).
He woke up and he found there were a lot of voices of people
talking. As he was still lying on his back, he turned again and found one of
his friend has fallen asleep on the chair but with his head on the table. There
were a lot of strangers talking around his sleeping friend. The over window was
just beside the front and he was surprised to find an elderly well dressed woman
looking at him from outside. She was smiling at him and waving a bright yellow scarf.
Confused he angrily shouted at the rest and wondering what the hell they want. Fortunately
or unfortunately, he fell asleep again from the alcohol that he was consuming
the other night.
He was woken by one his friend the next day with a bad
hangover as they had to leave before 12pm. As he was leaving the room he asked
his friends whether they know who the strangers and whose little brother is. His
friends look puzzled and said that they did not see anybody and even joked that
my neighbor’s son probably had too much to drink and drugs. Confused he did not
say anything besides he wasn’t sure his friends were just messing with him.
As he was getting to leave he saw in the corridor the bright
yellow scarf lying in the corridor!
I heard that he does not take hard liquor or any illegal
drugs anymore.
