TAKE IT WITH A PINCH OF SALT


The above is an article in a Chinese newspaper titled, "10 ways to prevent being haunted in a hotel"

Here is a translation of the suggestions:
1. Knock on door or press door bell before entering, meaning to ask for permission to stay there.

2. When entering ho tel room for 1st time, enter sideways so as to allow the 'dirty thing' to leave the room.

3. Leave a pair of slippers (each facing opposite directions) at door entrance. 'Dirty thing' coming in will follow the slipper and go out.

4. Place a glass of water and a pinch of salt at head of bed.

5. Flush toilet bowl before using.

6. Do not close the bible if it has been left open.

7. Avoid wearing black & red clothings. Wear yellow clothings.

8. Before sleeping, close toilet door & also switch off toilet lights.

9. Don't sleep facing big mirror.

10. Before sleeping, do not leave slippers together but each facing opposite direction to each other or in a messy way.

COMMENT
I wonder if the author meant it as a joke or was it serious.  Anyway, it was an interesting read, wasn't it?
