Ghost Stories – Do you believe in them and why?
Would like to hear your personal anecdotes and why you feel these stories are real or factual!
I personally never experienced any paranormal activity. Interestingly, most ghost stories are always told from a third-party perspective – someone telling you what they saw, random noise they heard or what their mother’s uncle cousin nephew got possessed, or the usual “legend has it that in Changi..”
I’ll start with my arguments against the common “third-eye” story. Friend claims to have a third-eye and can see ghosts lurking in the corner. So she will inform people randomly “btw there’s someone behind you, just saying”.
But I’m thinking like bruh, what can we even do about it? Is everyone here in the room supposed to freak out and run away?
Do third-eyes really exist and how can anyone else know what it’s like except the person who thinks they have a third-eye, or is it just their own delusions?
My personal take is, even if ghosts did exist, as long as you did not do anything wrong towards them (eg. you aren’t the one who murdered them in the first place), they have absolutely no reason to disturb you.
All that being said, I still believe in basic respect, like during 7th month if I accidentally step on a candle I will still whisper “sorry” even if I do not innately believe in it.
Netizens’ comments
- Not sure whether they it counts as ghost stories, but they are paranormal.
Mysterious “twin” who died
1: When i was born i had a different name, i had measles and was in the ICU for weeks. My parents found out and traced that one of my long distant relative in China had the same name as me and died of measles, they then changed my name and i got better later.
Ghost sergeant at Tekong
2: When i was in Tekong, one night, at late night between 11-2am, i saw this sergeant walking the rooms and inspecting to see if people are asleep, i was semi awake (didn’t wear glasses) and he came to me and ask why i haven’t sleep, i say i was woken up by him. The very morning i had fever 39+ degree, got sent back home, the fever lasted more than a week, went to A&E to extend my MC, went to my GP had a jab, nothing brought the temperature down. When i came back, i realize that sergeant was not in my company (never seen before). Didn’t think much about it until years later when i read on stories online.
Cry in sleep when someone is going to die
3: Sometimes i will cry in my sleep, whenever that happens, it means something has happened in my family. I cried 1-2 weeks before 2 of my uncles, 2 of my aunties passed away, they happened at different occasions / years (no i didn’t dream of them). I also cried week before my mom had a heart attack. So i am especially paranoid whenever i cry during my sleep if ever again. Never told this to any of my family members. - Opening 3rd eye
Personally I think it’s fun and exhilarating to listen to ghost stories. As for whether it’s real or not, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I think it’s fair for one to only believe it if it happened to you and you literally see it clearly and not far away or blurry shadow bs.
According to the age old superstition, one can open the third eye by rubbing one’s eyes with dog’s/cat’s tears (something like that) - Don’t mess with the supernatural
Why would people want to see? The 3rd eye is not some app which you can install and uninstall. Its stuck to you. Firstly, ghosts knew they cant do anything to you especially your Lifeforce is Yang major.
Even if one is Yin based, it will take a lot for them to communicate with one. My friend’s friend (whether to believe is up to you) perform a third eye ritual and is now regretting her decision. It is a dare gone wrong. Now she is under medication.
Moral of the story – if your Lifeforce is not tough enough, dont try to mess with the occult.
Yet she said that not all of them are malevolent. Stationary ones who cant leave as their “pivot” now no longer exist. Friendlier ones who wants to ask for help for them to pass on. Naughty ones whom play tricks on her. Terrifying ones which threaten to take over her body. Just like what we see in movies but with much higher frequency. Day and night doesnt matter. There is no such thing as ghost month btw. For her, it means 2 worlds merged into one. There’s no barrier to prevent connection whether good or bad.
I wouldnt fully trust her story but I wouldnt be ignorant about it.
Respect for Life / Unlife is important.
