This is the photo I took last Sunday in the hallway of the hotel I was staying in Portland, Oregon. Why did I take a photo of this? Well, my sense to see ghosts has become weaker since that's what I wanted after the monk training (That was one of the good benefits) but then I still saw ghosts in there. So I thought I took a photo and see if I could capture what I saw. Well, I actually tried four times to take a photo in here but none of them came out good :-( Damn it. How can one take a good ghost photo? Anyway, first, I thought I saw one guy walking ahead of me and went into the room. That was when I realized that was the room I was checking in. I thought I was still badly jet lagged. But then, the same guy was walking ahead of me and looked back at me and ran away to the end of the hallway and dove from the exit door!! That's when I realized he was not the real human being with warm blood. He looked so real and vivid so I couldn't tell the difference at first. Anyway, I kept seeing this guy and I am sure he wanted some attention from me as he killed himself here. But I was too tired and not very nice so I wasn't being polite. Everytime I come back to my room, I saw him doing things here. I thought I was going to take a photo. He even came into my room when I didn't welcome him. But he was harmless so I let him be. :-) Poor guy. If he was hotter, I might have reconsidered :-P Anyway, I thought I'd bring this non-exciting story up on this particular day. For me, the scariest thing right now is that I have to work from tomorrow :-( Ugh.
Happy Pumpkin day!
did u use your buddhist chants to deliver him?
does it work if he's a gaijin?
It is a non-exciting story but.....it send chills down my spine..
Gosh...you can see those things? I didn't know that...
anyway, it is a very apt entry on Halloween.
Thanks for the treat :)
Very appropriate for Halloween! :)
I haven't seen any ghosts this Halloween, but I'm pretty sure a guy I saw this morning had a pumpkin in his pants -- looked like that anyway :)
Glad the ghost was benevolent, or at least not aggressive!
I hope you get lots of "tricks" AND treats today!
OMG, you were in Portland last weekend?! I live four hours from Portland now, I moved to Washington state!
Happy Halloween, Shigeki! *smooch*
I always think that when i'm in a hotel: who died here, and how many people had sex here. It always creeps me out a bit. The picture you took makes me tink of the film 'The Shning'
HI Circuit Boy,
Nope. I didn't do that actually. Yes, he was very caucasian so I assume he wasn't Japanese :-) You have a wonderful weekend!
Hi Sgx,
Yup, I happen to see those every once in a while and this is something I want to get rid of as I don't find it that useful. Anyway, you have a wonderful weekend!
Hi Kirin,
Thanks very much. You have a wonderful weekend!
Hi Steve,
A pumpkin in his pants? wow, you should have undone his pants and verify if it was :-) If it wasn't, you could have given him something like say... your head? haha. You have a wonderful weekend!
HI Goblinbox,
OMG, you are in Walla Walla! Even though I have never been there before while living in Seattle, I hear it's a nice city. Doesn't Washington State rule even though the drvier's license doesn't look that cool? :-) You have a wonderful weekend!
Hi Fashmagslag,
You think of those things? wow. But more likely, you should ask yourself how many "ARE" having sex right now in the hotel :-) Did you watch the movie, 1408? I thought it was pretty cool. Anyway, you have a wonderful weekend!
