Ghost Story

This is supposed to be a post on Halloween but it seems that it is a bit late. However, better late than never right?

Halloween is not that celebrated in Malaysia if compared to those in western countries, at least not in Sarawak. You might get some pubs or hotels doing some events for the day but never large scale as to go treat or tricking and stuff.

So, Halloween usually represented by those "ang moh"(western) ghosts such as vampires, werewolves, mummy, and many more with vampires being the popular choice. Immortality anyone?

Anyway, since it is related to the supernaturals, it would just be natural that I delve around that topic. Anyone up for some supernatural stories? Ghost stories?

I had my share of the supernaturals or ghosts some of you might say. I supposed I had because all the events are not that clear to me. As if I am dreaming or something.

Encounter 1

When I was young (many many years ago), I always have feeling where suddenly I can't move or even shout as if something big and heavy is sitting on top of me. Ever get that feeling? I dismiss it as just maybe I am too tired. However there is this one time...................................

I actually saw some shadow or something lurking at the corner of my room and as I try to focus it began to grow bigger and move towards me slowly. I can't really see what is the thing and then just when I want to shout out loud, suddenly i froze for no reason at all and the shadow began to turn and I can almost see the sinister smile it had.

The shadow crept up to me and I can actually feel it moving up while I can't move a muscle. Just when it nearly come face to face with me, it disappears just like that. Up until now I can't really explain what happened.

Encounter 2

When my grandfather died, I am way too young to remember him. I know how does he looks like but I never remembered if we ever talked. My brothers and I used to share the same room when we were young. (I have two younger brothers who is one year younger and they are twins). So, there is this one night suddenly one of my brothers called me to accompany him to the toilet but i refused and after the other brother called me to accompany them to the toilet.

I still refused and starting to get very irritated. ( I am the kind of person that you would not want to disturb when i am sleeping. =p). However, they are persistent and I tell them that both of them can accompany each other to the toilet but they still refused.

When asked why? They replied, "We saw grandfather sitting in the living room looking us, smiling and waving his hand". When I go out with them, I did not see anything but I think I noticed that my brothers are scared and that I feel some chilling breeze.

The next morning, I realized that last night is the night of the seventh day after my grandfather died. You see, Chinese have this belief that the dead always comes back to visit their relatives the night of the seventh day after they passed away.

Encounter 3

There is this one time when I was sleeping, suddenly I woke up sweating and my heart beating very fast. I don't have any nightmares and the air con is on full blast. Just as I want to close my eyes, suddenly I saw or felt a white ghostly figure moving towards the air con (that time am using the window unit). I fell asleep soon afterwards.

The next morning, I asked around who turn off the air con as it is off when I wake up. Guess what, nobody turn off the air con. And no, there is no timer to off for that model at that time. It still remain a mystery to me. Supernatural? Might be.

So, that is a few stories that I can remember. Personal experience.

Have you ever experienced the supernatural? Seen ghosts?

Do you even believe that there are ghosts around?
