Something on the pillar..
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...
