Sorry for not following the complains format but I do not want to give out names just yet....

I am an international student at The One Academy and I am renting a room right across the college in PJS 10.
The room is on the upper floor of what is called a 'Terrace house' in Malaysia. I moved in here in quite a rush as college had already started.
Up until yesterday my main problem was only lizards but all that changed last night/this morning at 4:25am.

Little introduction to my Landlady(chinese)
I would like to mention that my landlady is a total nutcase. She is always yelling and screaming if a light is on or if the trash is not tied up properly or if i go out too late to get food and if anyone comes over to see me (i usually sneak my friend inside). This might be a huge problem for some, although it wasn't for me for all this time. I am a patient person and up until now she has never said anything completely irrational and even though she yells for something or the other EVERYDAY I smile and ignore it and don't repeat the same mistake again. Generally she is a very very moody person however she is an elder and as long as she doesnt say anything out of principle I do not care. She is pretty much yelling at her daughter 24/7 aswel and also seeing she is a single mother I feel a little sorry for her and I just treat her like a nuttcase parent in my head.
My commitment to my education also keeps me very very busy and most of the time im just too tired to give a damn about anything else.

The incident:
Last night at about 4:25 I woke up with a thud sound on the window of my room. At this time i had only slept about 30 mins because I was up late doing assignments. I tried to ignore the sound and go back to sleep. But moments later i heard someone running accross right on top of my room in the attic. Then the running continued as if someone is running back and forth on top of my room. This happened about 7 or 8 times until i heard a 'thud' sound outside my room following which someone banged on my room door. I immedietly messaged my housemate and asked him if it was him. But he said it wasnt and he woke up too assuming there are robbers in the house.
I waited a few minuites and eventually decided I need to go out and check. Stupid as this may sound to some.. I was a bit concerned about my landlady and her daughters downstairs aswel. I messaged my house mate and told him im coming out. I grabbed my umbrella and stepped out and saw no one there. My other two housemates one boy and one girl had also come out now. When I looked up outside my room i felt the door to the attic was a little misplaced. The three of us eventually decided to let my landlady know about this. We went down and woke her up and she came to check. Since there was nothing there - she threw a massive fit! Yelling and screaming at us and asking me to leave. Asking me in particular since I took the initiative to do the talking and explain things to her( the other two are too scared to talk to her).
She made it very clear that there is nothing in the attic except rats and we should just mind our own business and stay out of the attic!
I am very curious to go up there but I do not have anything like a ladder and I am also quite scared of that scene from Grudge happening to me and the next day im walking about with no jaw....
There is also a high chance that some robber sneaked in through the attic as we also saw some finger marks on the walls. Which is equally scary!

If things do get worse (and I survive) I promise to give all details of the house/owner and myself.

Sorry for the wall of text...
Very scared to sleep tonight...

I am sorry if this post is out of place but I am new in Malaysia and I am perhaps hoping that someone can maybe shed some light on what could really have happened...
Love and Peace to all
