EP 628. APPARITION AT ANG MO KIO
Based on true supernatural encounters.
Thank you 'Cee' for sharing your story with us here in Deadtime Stories Sg.
"Hi Syed, I really enjoyed the stories on your page. Was thinking if I should contribute mine a long time and finally decided to as it happened quite long ago. This is my friend's experience as she has since migrated to Europe with her husband. I hope it doesn't diminish its credibility.
This incident happened in the early 2000s. After a night of clubbing at Mohd Sultan Road, my girlfriend and I decided to share a cab back home. She stayed in Ang Mo Kio Avenue 4 and I was staying at Serangoon North which means she would be the first one to alight.
She lived in the corner unit on the second floor of Blk 6xx and the unit next to hers was vacant, which according to her was spooky.
Shortly after entering her unit, she told me she felt a bit uncomfortable because she felt like as if someone...or something was following her! Out of sheer curiosity she went to her door to look through the peephole. To her shock, she saw a figure entirely in black with long black hair covering most of it's face, standing still right in the middle of the corridor just outside the unoccupied unit!
The sight of the apparition gave her a fright. After a few minutes , she gathered enough courage to take another look. This time around the corridor was empty. Suddenly, from behind the pillar, a head protruded out and it was that same black-clothed figure!
Terrified by what she saw, my friendtook a step back from the door. Could it be just a prowler or something else? She went to take another look through the peep hole...just to make sure. The figure was still there but this time it stepped out from behind the pillar then darted back quickly. This went on for a while and my friend said it was as if the mysterious figure was playing hide-and-seek with her.
Althoughshe was creeped out , her curiosity was overwhelming . She went forward for yet another peek. To her horror, the figure was right outside her door, leaning towards the gate!
My friend screamed, "What do you want?!" hoping that it would go away and stop bothering her. The apparition immediately vanished into thin air!
Shortly after that incident, my friend suffered a life threatening illness and it took years of struggle for her to regain her health.
The spooky vacant unit next door was eventually occupied, and nothing unusual was reported.
To this day, she is not sure if 'something' sinister had followed her home or if the mysterious figure had something with the house next door.
That was the final time we went clubbing, ever.
Thanks so much for reading and considering this story 🙏
If you do decide to, you can refer to me as "Cee".
All the best to the continued popularity of your page!"
