Re: Ghost Stories and Urban Legends
from a blog.
This incident was happened many years ago on a public holiday that fall on a
Sunday in 1998. I was then sleeping tastefully and was suddenly disturbed by
a phone call from the ki tong 乩童 ( medium ) of my temple. I was told to rush
down to our temple for an urgent session. I knew only later that it was
because of a spirit that has possessed on a young lady and a deity dee ya
pek 二爷伯 ( hell deity ) is appointed to take the task. By the time i reached
the temple at about 11am, i saw a young lady already sitting inside our
temple just beside our 'yim tua' altar ( altar setup with hell deities statue ). i
walked near to her and hurriedly setup the altar for preparation to invite the
deity - dee ya pek. That was my virgin experience coming so close to a
human body that is now possess with a spirit inside her. And it was still inside
her. My feeling then was very tense. She keep staring at me becos i was just
standing beside her. she looked lost but calm and could be wondering what
are we trying to do to her. I presume 'she' was not a Taoist.
Half an hour later, everything were ready to invite our guest-of-honour mr.
dee ya pek. Except that we don't have a red carpet for him. Well, the dee ya
pek came pretty fast and fury even before we finish chanting our jiu 咒. This
is very unusual. Anyway, just to add, that lady was even enjoying and
swinging her arms like those ku tai 古代 ancient time dancer performing
singing for the emperor while we were playing our chanting (jiu) during the
invitation. As i said before, maybe 'she' was really not a Taoist and has not
seen a dee ya pek before. Or maybe she thought that we are there to invite
her for a buffet lunch. We dressed him ( dee ya pek ) up with his robe as
usual and make sure he is served with a cup of hot chinese tea before he
proceed. A very fiece loud BANG! was the next thing i heard while i was
putting back the tea cup next to me. It was dee ya pek whom slammed his
palm hard onto his working desk, really very hard and furious (i smell a very
strong stench of gun powder). He then pointing one finger into the face of
that possessed lady and asked her "what are you trying to do 你在搞什
麽???!!!!" very fiercely in hokkien.
I can see that she looked anxious, helpless and was at a shocking stage
now. Why did i say this is because she was behaving less concerned before
the appearance of dee ya pek. Now, i can read through her impression shown
on her face that she indeed seeing something, she must have saw something
that we human cannot be seen through our naked eyes now. She must have
see the spirit of our deity dee ya pek which is now possessed on our ki tong (
medium ). If you are a Taoist, you should know that dee ya pek is a deity (
hell constable ) with boiling hot temper and is very impatient as far as talking
to an irresponsible wandering spirit is concerned. So, dee ya pek is expecting
for a lightning speed answer from every single question he is going to throw
on her. But, that possessed lady or should i say the spirit was seem to be
testing the patience of dee ya pek. She was keeping numb or maybe too
shocking to answer that she doesn't utter a word to his first angryful
question. Dee ya pek was furious by now, he was hot, so hot that i think he
could simply boil a raw egg on his palm. He gave a stern and firm warning to
the possessed lady with a finger pointing right at her face angrily. He said "
You better tell me the truth without delay, if not, i will not hesitate to issue
a spell on you and i will make sure you would not be reincarnation 永不超身
anymore!" ( this remarks has been clearly engraved in my mind ) This time,
she speak softly to dee ya pek, "是她们先来找我的!" ( " I was disturbed by
them first " ) Dee ya pek asked again "where is the place happened??" And
this time, she keep numb again. Dee ya pek sibey furious liao. Obviously, he
lost his cool by now. Before i could read what he wanted, dee ya pek pulled a
paper fu out from a stack of paper talisma on his altar with his left arm, drew
a blush with his right arm at the speed of lighning, put some strokes of
blushes with spell on the paper fu - talisma, asked for fire to be ignited onto
the paper fu - talisma, the next thing is...SLAMMED the burning paper fu right
on the forehead of the possessed lady! i guess no nonsense is the moto for
dee ya pek. And need not for me to comment, he is not a good negotiator.
haha
The young lady sitting on the chair knocked out immediately. Motionless like
those sleeping beauty in the cartoon. I tell u, i saw smoke came out from her
nose the moment the dee ya pek slam the talisman onto her forehead. I
sweared! It was really very amazing to see that. On the other hand, i felt
very sorry for that spirit. But we have no other choice, spirit and human are
like beer and driving, they can't mix together. Remember the possessed lady
knocked out on the chair? Yes, dont forget her, she is the super star of the
story. We hurriedly used a cleansed water, spelled it and slammed on her
forehead again to wake her up. It was exactly like those we did to the ki
tong after a session. She is awake now and she doesn't know how she came
to the temple. She sobbed, looked pale and sleepless. All she knew was that
she heard some voices talking to her last night and she could sensed
something was following her home after she and a group of friends went for a
midnite 'shopping' spree at the Old Changi Hospital. ( for the benefit of the
foreigner, old changi hospital is an abandon old hospital used during the
WWII. It is a haunted place now after it has been swifted the whole
operation to another newly built hospital.)
Hey, don't pay too much attention to the lady super star leh! remember our
male super star dee ya pek? He was still sitting on his dragon chair while we
were trying to revive the lady. Well, after the lady was brought back to a
stable condition, dee ya pek start to question her of the whole incident. wat
happened last night was......... a group of young punks suggested to visit
the haunted houses in Changi area. Later that morning, they came to this
very scary place called Old Changi Hospital. They decided to explore the
place since their motive that night was to see ghost 见鬼! These group of
kids obviously doesn't know the height of sky, thickness of the ground
started to walk into the hospital through the old and unlocked corridor. The
sky was dark but they could still managed to find their way through with the
help of the full moon that morning. However, the further they walk in and the
longer they spend inside the eerie hospital, the feeling and atmosphere then
was getting more tense and scary. Suddenly, one of a girl in the group
suggested to leave the place as soon as possible because she started to
hear voices talking to her. She heard a woman voice complaining that they
are very noisy. WWhammm! The rest of the girls there got more tense and
excited after they heard what she claims she heard. One after another siao
cha boh started to scream and run around for the exit like a group of mad
dogs inside the building. Well, no one could take this kind of disturbance from
tranpasser even for the spirits. Unfortunately, the super star of our story lost
one of her shoe while dashing out of the building. The atmosphere then was
so tensed that losing a shoe is less important to her now. Eventually, she
also threw away her another left over shoe while she was outside the
building since it was useless for now because she was going up to a friend's
car heading for her home.
They didn't suspect anything unusual after the trip since everyone were still
up and walking in one piece. Little did they know that someone in the group
has been targeted by a spirit and is now following her home since her luck
was not as good at this point of moment. Walking with bare footed, she
walked into the lift. She heard strange voices talking to her but tireness has
over power her fear. She didn't bother much and continue to walk straight to
her bed after closing the main door behind her. Nothing was more important
than a sweet drooling dream for her now. It was only in the next morning,
which was a Sunday morning that changed her from an ordinary person to an
extra ordinary woman. Her elder sister spotted her with a face that doesn't
look like her. Meaning, she was not herself and she was possessed! Her elder
sister whom is a friend of my temple ki tong, quickly rang up for him and
asked him to go over to her home to check on her sister right away. Just
when the ki tong was at the foot of the lift landing outside her home, her
possessed sister says this to her " 你叫人来抓我?" ( '' Are you getting someone
here for me?" ) She said this even before she saw the ki tong, she said this
because the spirit could sense that someone who has super natural power is
coming after her, is closing to her. Just when her elder sister was about to
dash out of the home for fear, my temple ki tong appeared in front of her like
a hero for now. The ki tong has a pair of yin yang eyes 阴阳眼 as such, he
was sure that a lady spirit is now possessing on her sister's body. Not to give
any chances to the spirit, my ki tong quickly locked her wrist to avoid the
spirit from escaping from the body and pulled her straight to our temple for
justics. ( a fresh spirit can escape from punishment by getting out of the
victim body thus we are taught by our deity a way to lock the spirit from
running away )
too long, to be continue.
