This is where I will share my experiences with the dark side or whatever color you want to call it. Lately my dreams have become a cross between a nightmare and reality. As I am not sure if I am dreaming it or if it's really happening. Some of the dreams are kind weird, like once I dreamt I was being attacked by aliens who was hitting me with pillows. The next day, my family invited a priest over for dinner and he told my family that there are spirits in the house. I was like great. spirits are one thing, but aliens are another thing. =p
Well, my family is no stranger to weird stuffs happening around the house. It all happened when we were living in a three room flat in Toa Payoh. I was just a kid then, though I did not experience anything. My two older brother have seen or experience strange stuffs in the house. For me, it was what I heard almost every night. As I mentioned, we lived in a small three-room flat. As you enter from the front door, you will see the living room and the kitchen, the two rooms will be on the left. So at night, if anyone goes to the kitchen, you will know. So began the rituals, as soon as the last person hits the bed. The kitchen light would on by itself and we would hear voices in the kitchen. Not any strange voice but our voices. The scene played out is always the same. We would be almost done with dinner, and my mum will be putting rice for my dad who just came back for dinner. Me and my siblings would be chatting and laughing. We would drag our chairs out as we go to watch our plates. The same scene played almost everyday and as soon as anyone gets up to investigate. The light will be turned off. I remember getting off my bed to have a look. As soon I got up, the light was switched off. I walked to the kitchen, turn the lights on and everything is just normal as we left it. So off to bed I went, and the moment I hit my pillow . . . the lights came on again. I just continued to listen and drifted off to sleep. A neighbor told us that they are just friendly ghosts who won't disturb us.
I remembered my late dad made us carry home an old cupboard that someone had thrown away. I guess that's when the other happenings began. My older bro told me that my parents had seen spirits flying in & out of the cupboard dressed in white. There was one time, a spirit appeared at the foot of my parent's bed. It was dressed like a roman soldier. My dad said a prayer, spat on it and it just vanished. I guess we got rid of the cupboard although I can't remember it. Other happenings around the house included my eldest bro waking up at three am in the morning, looking shit scared and looking under his bed. He on the light and kept looking under and around his bed. He was really perspiring like he had taken a shower. He told us that he was a little green man at the foot of his bed. He laughed at him, hit him on his leg and went under his bed. We searched but couldn't find it. My bro had high fever after that but he recovered.
Another incident was kinda weird. My older bro and me were like playing games in our room. We had two double decker beds in our room. So what we did was we tied a string to our bedroom window grill to our bed and we ran the string throw the match box. Hence we created our very own mini cable car. We were in the room for a while playing with our improvised game. Came out to eat or something, went back in our room again and later realised that there was a formal shoe print on our bedroom wall and the prints were going up (we didn't see it going up as it was already a done deal). It was on the wall of my bedroom window and the print stopped just before the ceiling. I wasn't really sure it was a prank or it really happened.
We did get the house bless once or twice and nothing much happened after that. BUT there was this incident that happened close to midnight that ran chills to everyone spine. I was still very young back then and I was sharing the bed with my eldest sis on the upper deck of the double-decked bed. My two bros were at the lower deck My youngest sis was sleeping with my mum i think. We were fast asleep when a loud female scream shattered the silence of the night and woke everyone up. The scream came from the opposite block which was separated by a car park. The kinda scream that would have won an award at scream fest. Anyways, the scream ended as soon as it began and there was dead silence after that. Look across from my window but not a soul was out there and there silence was just scary. I had a hard time sleeping after that. The car-park lights shown into my room and I kept imaging a monster like creature would appear at my window. Yes I was just a kid back then. My older bro found out from one of my friends who lived at the opp block, that the police found blood on the 6th floor staircase but no body. Furthermore, the light on the 6th floor staircase never worked. Till now I am not sure what my older bro told me was the truth or was he just pulling my leg.
A bit of background before I move on. The place where I lived in Toa Payoh was previously a cemetery which was moved to across the road. It was later moved again due to the construction of a new housing estate, Bishan. Where did it moved to, I don't know. We shifted out from Toa Payoh to Yishun in 1985. I just completed my secondary school and welcome a new house.
As I was growing up in my new house in Yishun, we encountered new experiences. Most were targeted to my younger sis who have had encountered things that you only see in horror movies but none of us have seen. We had priests coming over and blessing the house now & then but things still happen. I remembered this incident when I was up alone watching tv with the headphones on. I think it was a Friday night and everyone else was asleep. My eldest brother was working night shift i guess and my older brother was alone in the room sleeping. I had just arrived from a holiday from Bangkok with my company a couple of days before so I should be in my early twenties.
Here i was watching the television, not sure what program was on when i realised that my older bro was awake and was calling at me. I took off my headphones, looked at him and realised he was perspiring on a cool night. The first question he asked me if I had bought anything from Bangkok, any mask or dolls. I told him that I just got a soft toy for my younger sis, and it was really cute.
My bro is someone that would not get spooked that easily and he was the smartest in the family besides my eldest sis. But here he was spooked and looked shit scared. I followed him in to the room to see what happened. My bro was sleeping on a pull out bed, while me and my eldest bro on the double-decked bed. So my older bro's bed would be lowest to the ground but that didn't stop two large hands coming from beneath his bed. The monstrous hands (as my bro put it) grab hold of his hands and another two hands appeared to hold his legs. He told me that it was as if the monster creature was looking at his hands. He was awake and was not dreaming. He kept shouting for me but I didn't hear anything. It soon vanished beneath his bed. We checked the whole house but didn't see anything, my bro took the holy water and bless the room. It was hard getting to sleep but we soon fell asleep and nothing much happened after that.
(Yes, I'm blogging from the same room where it all happened and I just had strange vibes after typing the last paragraph)
Some other things did happened but I can't remember it all but only the ones that mattered. There was this one time at bay camp... okay just kidding. (I guess only American Pie fans got it. ;p) Anyways, there was this period when my parents were having sleepless night and it was if something was disturbing them. Cash money and other items slowly keep disappearing form my parent's room. After quarrels and stuffs, my late dad decided to call in a priests. The priests came and we said prayers then he went around blessing each rooms. He then spoke to my parents and asked if anyone had visited a temple or a medium to seek help. We all said no but the priests said that it don't have to be recent, it can be a long long time ago. Then my late dad said that he did bring my mum to a medium because my mum was really ill and no medication was helping. After which, my mum got better. The priest told us that the medium has sent something to follow us. Yes, the little green creature had followed us to Yishun. That slimey little bugger!! So the priest continue to pray and went around the house and ask us to remove mask and other items that spirits can hide. He bind them and ask us to throw it away through the door. Cause 'whatever' came through by the front door, have to leave through the front door. After that, things got better . . .. i think so.
Soon the time came for my eldest sis to move on and she moved to London. My eldest bro got married & found a new place. My dad passed away of sickness. My other bro got married and shifted out too. So it was reduce to three, my mum, my younger sis and me. Yes, I sleep in the same room alone now.
Nothing much have happened in my room for a long time except for the occasionally nightmares which we just shrug it off coz it was just a bad dream. It was not until one night when my nightmares became abit too scary. I was sound asleep when something started speaking to me. I heard one voice, two voices, three voices and it just kept multiplying. I couldn't make out what they were saying but they kept repeating it over and over again. A thousand voices talking to one lonely me. I tried to wake up but I couldn't. Kept praying and praying and then I felt a little girl coming to the right side of my bed and asking me to wake up. Soon I woke up and I had the most empty feeling that I could ever had. It was as if I was the last person on earth. I was scared shit. I sent out sms to a couple of friends to see who was awake. Thankfully, one was and kept me company till I was able to sleep again. (Thank you)
So that first was clearly a nightmare, something that you will witness only in movies but I had to experience it for real. Sigh. Anyways, the second one was a fine line between a nightmare and reality. I was sleeping and you know how nightmare usually happens, you start to feel something and so on. Well, I did feel something and wanted to just close my eyes n pray that it will go away. Well, I didn't do that, coz I wanted to see what the fuck was bothering me. This part I can't be certain if I was still dreaming.
(let me just navigate you how my room looks like. My bed is facing the door, on my left is the wall and on my right is my cupboard. Infront of me is another built-on cupboard and my door. Behind me is the bedroom window. I sleep with my door closed at all times)
So, anyways I was saying this part I can be certain if it was a dream or it did happen in my room. I opened my eyes and I saw a panda (no joke) siting crossed legged motioning me to come. This panda looks as if it escaped from some circus. It was floating and had one finger motioning to come.... this was against my cupboard which is on the right side of my bed. The first panda disappeared and a second panda appeared a bit further but still against the cupboard floating and doing the same thing. The second one disappeared like the first one and a third one appeared a bit further down. Also doing the same old sick routine, motioning me to come with the finger. Then it disappeared like the other two. THEN . . . .I saw something at my bedroom door. It was the game master himself!!! Dress in his tuxedo, floating towards me and also motioning me to come. This time part of me was freaking scared that I wanted to close my eyes and hope it goes away. But the other part of me was like what the fuck man, this is my room and you are not fucking me with this bullshit!! I opened my eyes and it was still there floating towards me. He was in whole get up man, the long hat, the white shirt, black pants and the black tux!! It was as if he missed the circus train to the underworld. So anyways, I opened my eyes again and it was still there. So I did what I had to do . . . i prayed. I opened my eyes again and it was gone. I got up, on my room light n everything was just as normal.
Nothing much happened after that. Although i did have my occasional would be nightmare but I just said dun fuck with me. Sometimes I guess when you are really tired it happens. It's not anything unusual it's just that your body is still asleep but your mind is awake. My friend did ask me to get a rosary and put it at my bedside which it did. Nothing much happened after that until recently. In fact just a couple of days back.
I was sleeping facing the wall. When the whole funny feeling happened again. This time I felt something infront of me. Something really white and it was on my bed in-between the little space from me to the wall. I guess I was dreaming coz it was in my dream that I saw the white image. Also I was really tired but my mind was working overtime. I was trying to tell myself that I was dreaming and wanting the rest of body to wake up or my brain to stop thinking too much and go to sleep. But all that was cut short when i felt a jab on my chest. Yes a finger jab me on my chest and I literally when 'What The Fuck!!' Am I dreaming or is this shit for real. As usual I couldn't anything. couldn't even opened my eyes. I kept calling out for my mum & sis. I heard my mum & sis got up, and my sis came in and was trying to wake me up but I just couldn't wake up. If I am not mistaken, I didn't pray this time as I was caught in the middle of neither here or there. I was trying to find out if this was for real or was I dreaming. Not sure how, but I managed to wake up. Everything was quite and my sis & mum was fall asleep in their own room. So all the noise I heard from my mum & sis was just a dream. I got up and walked around my room trying to shrug it off. I was trying to comfort myself by assuring myself it was just a dream although I can't explain that sneaky jab at my chest. However it was cut short when my hair just stood at one point. It was as if something was in my room. I was kind spooked but me being me tried to challenge it. My lights were on and I was facing my mirror when it happened.
(my laptop is on a makeshift table beside my bed and my mirror is in front of me)
So I am caught between a nightmare or is shit for real. I was ready to accept that it was a nightmare but when the sneaky fellow jab a finger at my chest, all the nightmare stuff goes out the window. Also waking up from it only to realised that something is still around causing my hair to stand. Well, I gave up fighting/finding the cause and went back to sleep. I didn't encounter anything after that and I slept soundly.
Not sure what more I would face but I would blog about it as it happens. A good friend asked me over dinner why don't I shift out of my place. Well, I guess I am used to it and I don't want whatever to get the better of me. This is my crib and I am the man of the house!! Till next time, sweet dreams. :)
