I stayed in a popular hotel before finding a strange man under my bed, I still suffer from PTSD & won't forget his smell
Plus, the cruel reaction she's had from some men HORROR STAY I stayed in a popular hotel before finding a strange man under my bed, I still suffer from PTSD & won't forget his smell MANY people love to check into a hotel to unwind - but one woman was left horrified after claiming she discovered a strange man under her bed. Natali Khomenk, who lives in Thailand, shared how she had visited Japan on a solo trip in March as she had thought it was a very safe country. Advertisement 3 Natali Khomenk found a strange man under her bed when she was in Tokyo Credit: TikTok / @natalisi_ 3 She visited Japan on a solo trip in March Credit: Getty On the first day, she had checked into her hotel and 'everything was fine' and 'looked legit', and she had accessed her room with a key card that only let her on her floor and in her room. She set off sightseeing the following day, but had the traumatic experience upon her return. In a clip on her @natalisi account, she claimed: 'I came back around 7:30 p.m., unlocked my room like usual, took off my clothes, lay down on the bed, and then I noticed a weird smell. 'At first, I thought it was coming from my hair or the bed sheets, but then I realised it was coming from under the bed. Advertisement 'Jokingly, I thought, 'What if there's a dead person laying under the bed?' 'But when I leaned over to check, I saw a pair of eyes staring at me. I saw an Asian man under my bed.' Natali said she started to scream and jumped to her feet as the man climbed out from under the bed. He then stared at her for three long seconds, and she added: 'Those seconds felt like my life is over.' Advertisement Speaking to The Guardian, she described him as 'east Asian, between 20 and 30, slightly overweight, a bowl haircut and black clothes.' She said: 'I began to hyperventilate and froze on the spot, unsure whether he was about to jump on me, choke me or even try to kill me.' Hotel slammed for using endangered red pandas to wake up guests by letting cuddly critters crawl into their beds The man then started the scream and ran out of her room. Natali said she immediately called the hotel administration and the police, and they found a power bank and USB cable under her bed. Advertisement She kept asking the hotel how the scary situation had happened, but they didn't have any answers for her. Natali continued: 'Even more, they suggested upfront that police won't find the intruder because they had no cameras.' As she was understandably feeling scared and unsafe, she moved to another hotel and demanded a full refund the following day. 3 She claims that the police have been unable to identify the man Credit: TikTok / @natalisi_ Advertisement However, she claims the hotel didn't contact her or send an email with the incident report. She then reached out to Agoda, who she had booked the hotel through, and they offered her $178 (£133) in coupons, which she felt was 'ridiculous', given she had paid $600 (£450) for three nights. After contacting the hotel directly once more, they finally agreed to refund the payment, but said the police hadn't been able to identify the man. She continued: 'The next days of my trip were a nightmare. I couldn't sleep. I was constantly on edge, checking every corner of my room.' Advertisement EMOTIONAL COMPENSATION Natali eventually wrote to the hotel demanding 'compensation for emotional damage', and asked for $1,600 (£1,200). However, she claims they declined giving her the money as it 'wasn't in their policy.' Now, she's been left wondering how someone could get into her room and that they knew she was alone there. She added to the Guardian: 'I eventually returned to my home in Thailand struggling with anxiety and PTSD. Advertisement 'I have found it difficult to stay informed about what's happening with my case, and worry that nothing will come of it. But I haven't given up – I'm exploring options so that it can be properly investigated. "Sadly, though, I've also had men write to me, claiming it's my fault or that I just want to denigrate Japan. 'I used to think I was invincible, and that there was more good in this world than bad. Now I'm not so sure.'

Raheem Sterling leads list of NINE Chelsea players banished from Blues' website as full 47-man squad revealed
Clock is ticking for outcasts to find a new home INTO THE BLUE Raheem Sterling leads list of NINE Chelsea players banished from Blues' website as full 47-man squad revealed RAHEEM STERLING heads a list of NINE Chelsea players who are out of the first-team picture - literally. The former England international, 30, and eight other stars do not even have a profile or photo in the first-team section of the Blues' official website. 5 Raheem Sterling is one of nine Chelsea players banished from the Blues' website Credit: Getty 5 Ben Chilwell has also been left off the Chelsea website Credit: Getty The clock is ticking for Chelsea to find new homes for unwanted players after Sterling and others were joined on Monday by players returning after time off following the Club World Cup. The Blues have been on another big spending spree this summer, with £60million Joao Pedro among a number of signings that have swollen the current first-team squad to an incredible 47 players. Stamford Bridge chiefs are close to selling striker Armando Broja and midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu - two of the players who do not appear on the website - to Burnley. But in addition to Academy graduates Broja and Alfie Gilchrist, there are seven players including Ugochukwu who cost Chelsea a combined total of more than £200m who have no profile on the website - despite still officially being at the club. READ MORE SPORT STORIES FOOTIE SHOCK Tragedy as goalkeeper, 27, found dead after going for swim with his girlfriend Even among the 31 players who ARE listed as first-teamers by Chelsea, there are big names like Christopher Nkunku who could yet find themselves leaving before the transfer window closes on September 1. Ukrainian winger Mykhailo Mudryk, who is facing a ban for failings a drugs test, DOES still have a profile pic - albeit wearing last season's kit. Add in the six players already sent out on loan, and the Blues have a huge number of players - and agents - to juggle. And that's before they make further signings, with both RB Leipzig's Xavi Simons and Manchester United's Alejandro Garnacho still in their sights. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Sterling, signed from Manchester City for £47.5m in 2022, and fellow former England star Ben Chilwell, a £50m arrival from Leicester in 2020, have been frozen out for more than a year. Sterling sealed an 11th-hour loan move to Arsenal last summer. Raheem Sterling shows his skills on the training pitch Chelsea first-team squad 2025-26 OFFICIAL FIRST-TEAM SQUAD FROM WEBSITE (31) Goalkeepers (3): Robert Sanchez, Filip Jorgensen, Gaga Slonina Defenders (11): Marc Cucurella, Tosin Adarabioyo, Benoit Badiashile, Levi Colwill, Trevoh Chalobah, Reece James, Malo Gusto, Wesley Fofana, Aaron Anselmino, Josh Acheampong, Jorrel Hato Midfielders (7): Enzo Fernandez, Dario Essugo, Andrey Santos, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Moises Caicedo, Omari Kellyman, Romeo Lavia Forwards (10): Pedro Neto, Liam Delap, Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson, Christopher Nkunku, Joao Pedro, Tyrique George, Marc Guiu, Jamie Gittens, Mykhailo Mudryk ON LOAN (7) Goalkeepers (2): MIke Penders (Strasbourg), Teddy Sharman-Lowe (Bolton) Defenders (2): Mamadou Sarr (Strasbourg), Caleb Wiley (Watford) Midfielders (2): Leo Castledine (Huddersfield), Kendry Paez (Strasbourg) Forwards (1): Deivid Washington (Santos) NO OFFICIAL PROFILE (9) Defenders (4): Ben Chilwell, Axel Disasi, Renato Veiga, Alfie Gilchrist Midfielders (2): Carney Chukwuemeka, Lesley Ugochukwu Forwards (3): Raheem Sterling, Armando Broja, David Datro Fofana Chilwell and Axel Disasi, a £38m signing from Monaco in 2023, spent the second half of the season on temporary deals at Crystal Palace and Aston Villa respectively. Midfielder Carney Chuwuemeka came from Villa in 2022 for an initial £15m and has returned to the training ground after spending six months at Borussia Dortmund. Likewise midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu, a £23.5m signing from Strasbourg in 2023, is into his third week working at Cobham after coming back from a season-long stay at Southampton. Of the Chelsea players who went out on loan last season, Renato Veiga probably did the most to enhance his value, during a six-month spell at Juventus. But the Portugal international, whose proposed big money move to Atletico Madrid appears to have collapsed, did not do enough to earn a spot on the Blues' website. The same applies to forgotten Ivorian forward David Datro Fofana. 5 Axel Disasi is one of nine players set to be let go Credit: Alamy 5 Armando Broja's Chelsea career appears to be over Credit: Getty The £10.5m signing from Molde in January 2023 returned early from a loan at Turkish club Goztepe last season after suffering a significant injury. DDF has been back training for a while but is another player on his way out at Chelsea. Club bosses have plenty to do to make sure Maresca has a squad of a manageable size. Former Blues boss Graham Potter revealed he had so many players at one point that some of them had to sit on the floor for team meetings. Play Dream Team now!
