Speak to My Finger

Ghost Day part 2 is back due to popular demand.

I think I have written this story before but I can't find it. So please enjoy this experience!

I was never afraid of the dark when I was a child. I could go into an unlit room and fetch the thing I want and come out without feeling scared at all. I still had this gut until I had my first supernatural experience at the age of 10.

I had a habit of sleeping in the living room at night because it was more airy than my room. But somehow one night my mum woke me up at 2-ish to ask me to drink water. I went back to the sofa to continue my sleep but it was not according to my plan. While I was lying down, I heard footsteps around me. It was not uncommon since my family members wore slippers in the apartment. I didn't bother until the footsteps 'lingered' too long ... There's no way for my mum and sister to walk around the unit for that long for the footsteps were continous. I thought it was my neighbour since my mum did tell me that a neighbour accompanied her daughter to ground floor for the school bus but won't it a little odd for the foosteps to hang around my sofa and at 3 am?

Something was very wrong.

I opened my eyes and the footsteps stopped. I could only hear the fan spinning and the flipping flapping of the newspaper. I moved my slippers nearer to the sofa. I told myself my mind is playing tricks on me. And I closed my eyes and the footsteps came back! I rolled to my right side hoping I would just go to sleep but I could not since beads of sweat formed on my forehead and my heart was racing. As I was lying on my right side, my left ear picked up some static sound like you are trying to get the right frequency radio channel. I covered my ear with my hair. And ... my hair somehow ... was pushed away from my ear!!! I did it again and somehow it led to the same result.

My head was screaming "GET OUT OF THERE." And I did. I scrambled back to my room with my pillow, blanket and bolster. And then I stood beside my mother's bed... thinking how to break the news that there was something out there but somehow my mother woke up and scolded me for surprising her and gave me "Why the hell you woke me up?" look. She was prettily mad and not forgetting to scold me to switch off the fan before returning to my room. Somehow I chicken out and didn't tell her my mind. I went back to the living room with absolute fear to turn off the fan and dashed back to my room.

I felt safe back in my room for my sister was asleep above me (double decker bed); I was relieved knowing whatever out there is not coming into my room because there's another person presence in my room but somehow... it was wrong. After snuggling in my blanket and my giant seal toy on my right side, I saw a short female shadow with long hair and button nose on the wall. I wanted to look at the shadow source but I was put to sleep.

Since this incident, I was enabled to see and feel spirits. The next day after this incident... I had visitors in my room everyday, on my sister's bed. I have never seen them but I could hear them rolling on the bed and making funny noises. So I always ended up sleeping in the living room in the presence of my mother when my sister was not sleeping in the room with me.

I didn't tell my mother and sister? I did the very next morning. But they told me it was my hallucination and no such thing exist moreover in a house that has a god altar. I tried to explain more but I was told to shut up and I think my mother even threatened to beat me up if I continue telling them my "made-up" story. Since the scolding I never told them any of my encounters even after 14 years of announcing the truth.

But I can tell you all that life was hell for me since that incident until 2003. Do you feel safe when you are back home? I didn't especially my mother and sister are always not around in the house. Do you sleep well at night? I didn't even though I was sharing a room with my mother. That's all because I have visitors all the time.

Do you want this kind of life? Yea it's cool to have the gift but do you want to lead a life where you don't even feel safe at your own haven? You might jump to the answer of YES because you simply don't know what it feels like. Don't understand the feeling? Simple. Just try placing yourself in a home where your mother or father abuses you everyday or even someone close to you comes into your room every night to molest you.

So you guys please be careful during this Hungry Ghost period. Check out Foongpc's site for some ways to protect yourself! One more thing is... don't try to pick coins in this period. Right ... I think that's a reminder for my money-minded being!

Darn renaye.. now I can't sleep tonight because I sometimes feel scared all of a sudden, especially when I'm alone or in the middle of the night. Don't kind ever want to go through what you are going through.

In Atlanta, you can get anything to eat almost! There are so many churches that go and feed the homeless plus my mom has food stamps. Last nite wasn't so bad, we slept in a good area-- Inman Park, which is a very quite place.

My mother just reminded me of the hungry ghost festival. I didn't have the chance to grow up in Malaysia and learn all these things. Why is it you cannot pick coins?

You know...I have never got this 6 sense feeling in Perth, Australia. I only got it once at my grandfather's house in Ipoh, the 2nd night after he passed away. The buddhist believe it is when they come back for one last time.

I do believe that something is out there! But I would never wish for that 6 sense, 24/7! You are so brave!!

Yes, tried to imagine, I wouldn't want to have this kind of 6th sense especially where we live near forests and jungles, where almost all places in Kuching, there are graves, at schools, I think past soldiers were buried there, everywhere >

OMG. Reading this post sent shiver all over me. LOL. Yeah, I am timid. Kind of know how you felt. I thought I have some similar experiences except I could not tell if they were dreams/hallucinations or the truth.

Anyway, thanks for the reminder and be careful ya.
