Today, some visitors claim to have seen apparitions of the Smith family who never got to move into the house, and the site still fascinates ghost hunters and paranormal investigators from around the world.


3. Tambun Inn

Tambun Inn is located near a Chinese cemetery in Ipoh, Perak. It is the most troublesome hotel to stay if you wish to rest. Many people claimed that they have heard strange sounds such as footsteps, the sound of feet scraping floorboards. The most terrifying sound would be the sound of people screaming or shouting. There are even reports of guests going to sleep in their own room and waking up in a completely different room with no idea of how they got there. This place is so haunted that a motorcyclist claimed that when he was passing by the hotel, he felt his bike getting heavier, as if something had climbed on the back.
