A netizen shared a story about an experience he had on the first night of the Hungry Ghost Month.
Here is the story:
“It was the first day of the lunar 7th month, but to me it was a day just like any other.
I was visiting my girlfriend’s home at Ang Mo Kio, and we spent the whole day together just hanging out.
Soon it was evening and after we had dinner together, it was time for me to go home.
For some reasons, the corridor and staircase lights didn’t seem to be working very well that night.
The lights were flickering and a few of them were totally dead, but I paid no heed to it – I figured the Town Council would’ve fixed it soon enough.
I reached the ground floor and was walking to my motorcycle when i realized that I had forgotten my keys.
So I went back to the lift lobby and pressed the lift button.
The lift soon arrived and I entered, I pressed the button for the 12th floor where my girlfriend lived.
I looked up at the lift display and saw the lift going up: 1st storey… 2nd storey… 3rd storey…
But the lift then took me up to the 13th floor, skipping the 12th floor which I pressed, which was puzzling to me.
The lift doors then opened and the corridors outside were pitch black.
I stepped out of the lift and looked around me, all the corridor lights were completely off and the units were all in darkness (I could see inside the units through the windows).
I wasn’t sure what I was feeling but at the time I felt a sense of… How should I describe it… Like a sense of impending doom, like something bad was about to happen.
The hairs on the back of my neck stood on ends and I hurriedly returned to the lift.
I quickly closed the doors and pressed the 12th floor button.
I then went back to my girlfriend’s house and told her what happened, she seemed in disbelief.
It was then that I realised…
This HDB building only had 12 storeys…”
