Singapore Idol Taufik Batisah, related a story about an incident that he and his friends experienced back in 2013.
Taufik was driving his friends home after supper at about 2am, and the group were at the junction of Bukit Timah Road and Eng Neo Avenue, when one of his friends felt nauseous and wanted to alight.
So he turned into a smaller road heading towards Turf City, and his friend alighted, before going to the side of the road where there was a small drain that led to a bigger drain.
Taufik and his other friend remained in the car, chatting with each other.
However, Taufik soon noticed that his friend wasn’t puking, she was just sitting by the bigger drain.
He then became worried that she might fall in and went up to her, trying to get her to move back to the small drain.
But the girl then returned to the bigger drain and said:
“Poor thing! That girl in the drain, she’s puking there all alone…”
Taufik looked to see what she was referring to but he saw nobody there, and his friend didn’t look nauseous at all.
He then recalled his grandmother and aunties once telling him about how things get really quiet and still and where is a ghost nearby.
He looked back at his friend and this time, he saw that she was lying on the ground.
He then carried her back into the car.
The girl sat inside the car, looking down with her long hair hanging over her face as the rocked back and forth.
The group then started saying some prayers, which resulted in her squirming and either laughing or crying, he couldn’t tell.
When they drove away and finally reached her block, Taufik said some more prayers and somehow it did the trick, the “thing” was finally out of her.
The girl came back to her senses and appeared lost, asking him:
“Why didn’t you stop just now? I told you I wanted to pee!”
Taufik, by now scared out of his mind, told her “okay, have a good night.”
He said that he didn’t even want to walk her up to her door.
He then called her sister and told her what happened, to which her sister called him back later that night and told him that the girl kept wanting to return to the drain because the “girl” that she saw was all alone and asking for help.
