A netizen recounted a story about his experience during the 15th day of the Hungry Ghost Festival.
The 15th day of the Hungry Ghost Month is said to be the peak of the festival, where the hungry ghosts are at their most powerful.
Here is his story:
“It was the 15th day of the Hungry Ghost Month, and I had just returned from some drinks with my friends.
It was about 11pm, and I had an early day at work the next day, so I hurried home despite being a little bit intoxicated.
I live in a HDB flat, you know the ones with the CCTV inside the lift, and the little TV outside at the lift lobby showing the CCTV footage?
Yeap, that was the type of lift at my block.
So as I was waiting for the lift, I glanced over to the grass patch beside me and saw some families burning offerings and I realised that tonight was the 15th day of the hungry ghost month.
I didn’t give much thought to it and just waited for the lift to come, as I watched the CCTV screen.
There was nobody in the lift.
The lift doors open and I went in, pressing my unit’s floor button as the lift door closed.
I was alone inside the lift.
I smelled something foul and thought I had stepped on dog shit or something, so I looked down at my feet to make sure, but i didn’t step on anything.
I looked up from my feet and glanced at the lift door, and from the reflection, I could see that there was a woman standing behind me.
She wasn’t there before, did I miss her entering the lift with me? Am I too drunk that I didn’t notice her walking into the lift?
As the lift reached my unit and the doors open, I turned around and looked behind me.
There was nobody inside the lift.
I hurriedly ran home, quickly opening my door and closing it behind me while muttering a silent prayer.”

A netizen shared with us recently a story of how he used to be the father of many nations but now because of Covid-19 he only one people one nation.
“Hi, I am a married man of almost 10 years with two boys.
Officially, I have two children which are legally recognised and I have three in China and Thailand which I only provide for but do not recognise.
I suspect that I have more children, but I do not know who they are.
I used to work in a big MNC, which requires me to travel around a lot. I travel mostly to China but I have been to most parts of the world.
Travelling around a lot means I do get lonely, and when I do get lonely, I decide to meet different women to have a good time.
I do not like to wear helmet when I f*ck them and sometimes accidents happen.
At the start when these women tell me that they are pregnant with my babies, I felt the need to be responsible to them. Therefore I send money to them to take care of the children.
After a while, more women from different countries that I have f*ck*d on my business trips start to message me saying that they are pregnant with my kids.
Thats when I decided that it is too much and I decided to block them and cut them off when they tell me these news.
After having the three children, I always buy a SIM card when I go to these countries and do not connect with them on social media, which is why it is easy to cut them off.
My wife is still ignorant of my doings and I never ever want to let her find out about this because I scared she cut off my kukujiao.
I never expected my commandos to be so strong.
Now with COVID-19, I do not have the chance to be a father of many nations anymore.”

A netizen shared how she boarded a hitch ride and had a conversation with another passenger inside.
It was the first night of the hungry ghost month, a few nights ago.
The passenger sharing the hitch ride with her was an old woman, who appeared to be in her late 80s or 90s (she looked extremely old).
The old woman had her long hair covering most of her face, and she thought that the old woman looked a little unkempt and dirty, and felt a little sorry for her.
The old woman asked her about her life, just some small talk to get to know each other.
The girl found out that the old woman lived through World War 2 and the Japanese Occupation as a little girl, that must put her in the 90-plus age bracket.
She shared little insights about her life under Japanese rule during the war and how tough life was.
The was impressed that she could go through something so diabolical and lived to tell the tale, even at a ripe old age.
Soon after, she arrived at her stop.
She bid the old woman farewell and opened the passenger door to her side.
After alighting, she adjusted herself and turned back towards the car to close the door, but she realised that the old woman was no longer in the backseat, or in the car at all.
She then asked the driver what happened to the old woman at the back.
The driver looked puzzled and said:
“What woman? You were the only passenger I had the whole night.”

A video emerged online showing a couple of YPs fighting under a HDB block.
They were seen wearing one gloves each, presumably sharing a pair of boxing gloves because they got no money to buy another pair.
One of the YPs then attempted a 360 degree spin to dodge a punch.

A group of YPs were seen gathering in a group of 10, creating a ruckus behind a HDB void deck.
They were seen fooling around on their bicycles, with one of the YPs slapping a girl at the back of her head and running away.
Moments later, the same group were seen sitting down quietly in a row as a policeman took down their particulars.
