In my WhatsApp chat group, there were three of us, including my brother-in-law who were talking about their encounters with ghosts or some alien beings appearing and suddenly disappearing before their eyes. I too have encountered this eerie experience.
Here's my story.
The first time I may have seen a ghost was during the Japanese occupation. My father had a hotel upstairs from our coffee shop at the junction between Jalan Sultanah and Jalan Ismail in my hometown Batu Pahat, Johore, Malaya then. The hotel building is still there today in a very derelict condition. We stayed in one of the rooms in our hotel.
One night in one of the rooms in Jalan Ismail my late eldest brother and I were there when my brother saw something floating in the ceiling above and was coming down. It looked vaguely like a human figure or a cello?
I too saw it, but did not know what it was. We ran out of the room and went to another room and there we saw a figure passing by outside the room
There was another time my second eldest brother was sleeping in the first room when he felt his bed shaking with a figure beside his bed.
Years on I was working at the Institute for Medical Research in Kuala Lumpur. I was given an office room for myself in the old building. I was told my room was haunted by my colleagues. At that time I was doing my PhD in medicine
So every night for some 3 years I remained in my room alone working on my doctorate degree after everyone had gone home from work. I used to stay behind alone in my room between 5 PM and 10 PM, sometimes up to midnight, but I never saw any ghosts. Except on a few occasions, I heard something dropped on the floor in the research lab next to my room.
But I have no idea what caused them to move and drop on the floor. But I was not scared because our soul is the ghost itself inside our physical body, and when we die I believe our soul or our ghost is released from our body.
In other words, the ghost maybe more afraid of us than we are of them?
However, let me tell you about a personal encounter with a ghost in Kuala Lumpur Hospital nearly 10 years ago. It happened when I was having this chronic leg wound in 2017. Initially I went to a private wound care centre in Petaling Jaya hoping to be cured. When my leg wound from venous stasis did not heal after almost one month's stay, I left the centre on Sunday, 13 August 2017 and was admitted to Kuala Lumpur Hospital on the same night. I was discharged from KLH on 15 Dec 2017. The total number of days I was admitted into Ward 28 in KL Hospital was 124 days = 4 months 4 days. It was a record the hospital told me as they have never kept a patient that long.
Ward 28 on the 5th floor of Kuala Lumpur Hospital was a first class medical ward. I had a single room for myself with a bath attached, air conditioner, and fan. So it was quite comfortable. So I was alone there all through my stay.
One night around 3 am I saw someone standing in front of my bed. I asked him who he was, but he did not answer. He just stood there looking at me. Then he drifted to the window a few metres away, and stood there for about a minute before he (or it) suddenly vanished from the window. I rang the bell to call the nurse to tell her my encounter. She does not know either since at that eerie hour in the morning no visitor was allowed, and all the other patients in that ward were sleeping. There was no reason for any patient from another room to come into my room at that hour. Was it a ghost? I do not know. Hospitals are said to be spiritually unclean - haunted by ghosts of patients who died there after which they roamed the wards in eerie hours of the night and morning when it is so quiet and lonely.
I have heard other few ghost encounters too in KL Hospital from other people including from my doctor colleagues. One of them was about a nurse who died there. She was very fond of weighing herself every now and then near her nurses desks. One day she died from an obesity-related problem. After she died, nurses on night duty often saw the same weighing machine at the nurses desk being stepped on registering a weight, but there was no one there. The nurses were so scared that they moved the weighing machine elsewhere.
Then I have heard the old maternity hospital adjacent to Kuala Lumpur Hospital was also haunted, especially at night when lone nurses enter the lift to take them to another floor. Apparently I was told when two or more persons enter one of the lifts, midway through one of them disappeared inside the lift. Sometimes it was the other way round. A lone doctor, nurse or a maternity staff may take the lift at night, and he or she was the only person inside. Halfway up or down, suddenly there was an extra person inside, only to disappear again before the lift reached the next floor
These are some of the eerie encounters people whom I know told me. One of them was my own sister-in- law here in this link:

Maybe ghosts do not exist? I really do not know.
