Got a friend of mine who had this one experience he shared with me before. Stuck in my head ever since. It happened when he was with a few friends, on the way to their friend's birthday chalet. He met up with the rest at one of his friend's place first to go together. Once he reached there, he had this uneasy feeling tugging inside of him. Soon as he saw his friends, he could see that something was up and it's not good. Apparently, some of them saw 'something' while almost reaching the meeting place. And upon that, one of them had pointed 'it' out physically and orally, to the other friend, even though all of them saw it. This, is a big No-No when you happened to encounter otherworldly beings. They tend to be curious as well and might be attracted to the attention given. You never know how they will react. Could be harmless, or otherwise..

So as fascinating 'it' might be then, they decided to go on ahead to their friend's place. Soon as the last person arrived, they moved off to the chalet. While waiting for the taxi, suddenly one of the girls in the group gave a shriek. She saw the thing that the other guys had just talked about. All of them by then saw what it was as it was quite near to where they were standing. It was like a shape of a body wrapped in a white cloth from head to toe. Just like how it is when a dead person is prepared to be buried in the Muslim way. Only this one was standing upright and facing towards them. It just stood there, looking at them. Just about then, the girl who had shrieked, passed out. All of them were really shakened to the core. Somehow, they managed to flag down two taxis and fleeted off to the chalet with the unconscious girl as planned despite the intense moment.

Upon reaching the area, they wasted no time in getting to the chalet. Banging on the door like lunatics, they called out their friends inside to quickly open the door. Once inside, all of them huddled together and kept silent for a while, leaving the ones already there, scratching their heads wondering why. Some of the girls were already crying as it was quite too much for them to take in. It was quite a sight as my friend described. After about one hour or so, they were still huddled together. Then, the quietness was interupted by a bang on the balcony sliding door. It was covered by the curtains so there's no telling what or who was it. The banging became incessant and with more intensity. By that time the group began to crumble in pieces as some were already in a state of hysteria while others wanted to check out what's behind the door. Soon enough, one of the them decided to act alone and pulled the curtains aside. Imagine this. What they saw still haunts them to this day. The banging was caused by the thing that followed them just then. It repeatedly hopped towards the sliding door and banged against it hard, as if it wanted to come inside...

This one happened at this beach called East Coast. Was during a barbeque cum birthday gathering for an ex-classmate. It was all good on that particular day. Reunited with the old gang, got to know some new faces, gobble the goodies, relishing the sinking sun, sand and of course the soothing breeze brought by the serene sea. It was all good indeed, until about slightly later on in the evening..

We were kind of just chilling back, enjoying each other's company and goof-offs, when it began. A man had came running over to us and asked for help. Dude was in a real frantic mode as he almost struggled to get his words out of his quivering mouth. Said that something had happened to his girlfriend while they were taking a midnight swim. One of my friends asked quite a few questions as to what the state of emergency was like. The guy, being in an almost uncontrollable panic attack amazingly got the time and patience to reply to all of my friend's besides-the-point queries. In the end, only me and another friend went to help the fella out. The rest of the slightly less than 20 buddies of mine, including Mr Inquiry decided to hang back to 'hold fort'. And also cupped their nuts, just in case they dropped..

Upon reaching the location, i could pick up this increasingly foul stench thats forcing its way in our noses. Apart from that, we heard the blood-curdling screams of a woman, followed by shrilling laughters that emitted from her as well. It was the girlfriend of the guy who came to us for help just now. As we reached the area, we saw quite a number of guys holding down the writhing woman. They were holding all her limbs down as she was trying to twist and turn to free herself. Was one hell of a sight, looking at what was unfolding in front of us. Nerve-wrecking, as the woman was spewing out all sorts of vulgarities, spitting at the guys, screaming and laughing. The guys, about 7 or 8 of them were actually having problems holding her down. We both, after recovering to our senses, jumped right in to help. I held her hand as my friend held her leg. Only then i realised how strong this woman was. She's like no bigger than the average guy there but i was practically using my weight to keep her hand from getting loose. Amid all the fracas, i was so uneasy as to how this looked to the passer-bys who just came to witness it. Imagine 10 guys holding down 1 woman by the beach. And adding to that, 2 policemen came during then. They were holding their batons as they approached us. Luckily a passer-by told them about what was really up and they ended up standing there to watch.

The woman was getting even more erratic as she was babbling about 'it' saw her swimming in the waters and took a liking towards her. 'It' wanted to bring her back home to be 'it's' wife. So 'it' possessed her and made her walked deeper in the water, away from the shore. Luckily her boyfriend was alert and pulled her to the land. After awhile of us trying to reason and even threatened for the thing to leave her body, 'it' still won't budge. Finally this one guy came running and almost intantly took control of the situation. He muttered some prayers and we saw the woman just went livid. It was also as if she was being poured with boiling water. 'It' threatened us back by saying that 'it' was going to summon the mother to unleash hell on us.
The guy unlike most of us there, was unfazed by all that and proceeded to instruct someone to get a bottle and fill it up with sea water. Someone did, and he muttered something to the bottle and began to pour some of the water on his palm. He then placed his palm on the forehead of the woman, to which she gave her loudest, pain-inflicted scream yet. She fainted soon after and at that moment, everyone was so friggin relieved. We let go of her and went off to where we were. Then, after a few steps, it happened again! She was possessed by the thing again and was gonna dash towards the sea. Fortunately, some guys managed to catch hold of her. We went through with the procedure of removing 'it' from the woman again, though this time it was not as difficult. She then recovered her senses and began to cry. Her boyfriend was close to tears too. It was too much not just for them, but also us who were there. My friend and i went back to the barbeque pit like two soldiers worn away by a gruesome battle. It was harrowing indeed.

Later on as we relented to the ongoing questions about the incident by our friends, there were strong gusts of wind blowing over. In my mind and probably the rest of their's there, could'nt help wondering if it was the threat of the spirit of the sea, or whatever it was, about calling on its mother to seek us. Everyone then went silent and waited arduously for the morning light..

This little incident, worth mentioning, happened few years back. My O'level exams were looming near and i felt that i needed to touch up for the papers i'm going to take. Just so happened that my then neighbour was supposed to prepare for hers as well. Knowing about my exams, she called me up asking to study together at our block void-deck, study-corner. It was around 12 midnight then. As we reached there, the place was empty, quiet and it was rather cold and dingy. We sat some where at the corner and from there, we can see anyone that walks past the area.

In about an hour or so in our revisions, we decided to take a short break and had conversations on other matters than the one at hand. We kind of covered quite a wide range of topics, til we reached to one that is of the supernatural. She initiated it and though i was apprehensive about dwelling on it, still i obliged. It was well into the witching hour, in an area that is reputedly said to be not that 'clean' and on top of it, it was friday morning in which is a 'hot' activity time for all things 'unseen'..

We were deep in conversations about our experiences and i was listening intently to her, when something behind her got hold of my attention. Could'nt really made out of what it was at first as i was shuffling between concentrating on my neighbour's story and that little distraction. Oblivious to that, Shai continued to fill me in on her true ghostly account, as i gradually laid more focus on something at the top of the pillar behind her. My first thought of it was a lizard that had climbed up there, but as i looked on, i figured it was too big to be one. Then, it moved. And this time i saw what it really was. It was a hand of someone standing behind the pillar. And that someone must have been like well over 7 feet tall to have his or her hand reaching the top of the pillar connecting to the ceiling. I could see the fingers moving, as in wanting to attract my attention. I don't really know how to react then. It's more like trying to contain and put on a brave front as not to show Shai what was unfolding at the time. It was kind of hard as she was still talking about her story, and the thing was picking up pace in trying to spook me out. Then, something happened that got me on my feet and almost dragged Shai off hers. The lady-like hand which was still there at the time then slowly slided down the pillar! I hauled ass out of there tugging a bewildered Shai behind me. When we reached our doorsteps, she asked what the heck was up and i told her that i needed to answer an urgent call of nature, plus i did'nt want her there all alone. She laughed and said that it was cute. Yeah, cute alright. If only she knew how cute the whole situation was. She's still clueless up til now...

'Phantoms fill the sky'... words quoted from a contacted spirit through the use a Weija board or Spirit Board i saw somewhere. It kind of stuck in my head all this while. What if we manage to see every single one of them out there? How many of them are out there? What is their destination? Nevermind the faces in the picture. Just check out how many orbs are there in it. Above and around the still embodied, faceless souls..
