A netizen shared a story about how the ghost of his late friend accompanied him for a smoke during his reservist at an unspecified army camp.
Here is the story:
“Hi all, my name is (name withheld) and I want to share a sad story about my late friend.
We grew up together and during our NS days, we were fortunate enough to be posted to the same unit after our BMT.
Soon, we ORDed and I joined his father’s company and we were reunited once more in our working life.
However, our reunion was short lived and he passed away in a horrible motorcycle accident.
During my first reservist, I reported back to our camp without him and reminisced about the things we used to do together during our NS.
One night after lights out, I went down to the smoking area by myself for a smoke.
I was alone at the time and lit a cigarette.
I looked around me and I could feel like he was with me, and so I lit up another cigarette and placed it on the bench beside me.
I said: “I know you’re here bro, better don’t do anything to scare me ah!”
I then looked at the cigarette beside me and saw that it was burning out really fast, as though someone (or something) was smoking it.
I felt a little scared but I had a feeling that it was my dead buddy, which eased my fears a little because I know he would never do anything to hurt me.
That night, after returning to my bunk following my smoke, I had a dream about my friend.
He told me that he was trying to quit smoking and asked me why the f*** I gave him a cigarette.
I woke up with a smile on my face, it felt like he was never gone.”
