Sketches of Life|Life Lived in Simplicity

I think the ghost season is here. Everywhere I hear people talking about their encounter with ghost. If you say that you don’t believe in ghost, well I am here to tell you that they exist in this world. They are the evil spirit that comes in many forms. I personally seen and experience it before I know Jesus Christ.

Here is my story…(caution, long post ahead, 900++ words)

My family used to live in a rented house. The house is just nearby my current parent’s home. It all began when dad had an argument with his father and he decided to move out. The house has a very huge compound. Coco trees at the back of the house, mango, rambutan, durian, jackfruit etc. Basically it’s a house in a fruit orchard. We like the house as it has big room, big hall, big kitchen and toilets too.

We were their first tenants. For the first 2 years, nothing happened. It all began in the 3rd year. My brother and sister saw a figure near the banana tree and they hear voices calling their name in the middle of the night. We taught they wear seeing and hearing things.

That year, my mom went for an appendix operation, when sleeping she felt a hand pressing her chest. After much struggling she manage to wake up.

When I was sleeping, I felt a force lifted me up. Once I felt a hairy hand pulling me out from my bed. On a few occasion, in the middle of the night, I heard someone took my bicycle and cycle out and back to the house. I told my dad, he don’t believe me until one day he heard it himself. I was too coward to peep out the window to see who’s the one who is cycling it.

Because our house is quite deep inside, far from the main road, I have to cycle out to the main road to wait for bus to go to school. I went out from my house alone as early as 5.45am when it was still dark coz the bus pick will pick me up at 6am. One day after coming out from the house gate, I saw a white figure flying vertically to the house orchard. That really freaks me out and I cycle with all my might!

However, we ignored all those and continue to stay there and live life as usual. The climax of this when my youngest sister fell really sick. She was 6 years old at that time and due to this she only went to kindergarten for half a year. We have to bring her out from school coz she always fall sick. She will tell us that someone always forced her to eat banana. When she looks in the mirror, she can see a man in yellow. My dad called a Chinese medium to come to the house and he told my dad that if we don’t bring my sister out from the house, she might die!

That evening itself, my dad told me to move back to my grandparent’s house with my sister first and they will come later. It was raining that evening and once we arrived my grandparent’s house, my sister point to the window and told me that the man in yellow followed us and he is out there holding an umbrella. I can’t see anything. Make myself brave and went to window. The man left according to my sister. That was the last time she ever see him.

One find day, as I was fetching my mom on a motorbike, I skidded and fell right at the spot where I saw the figure (the road curves there) when I was cycling to school. I did not hit anything. I just fell. I broke my front teeth and my hips were badly scratched by the road. Nothing happened to my mom. Not a single scratched. Could it be that the spirit pushed me coz he was angry that I took away my sister from him?

After our family there are a few other family that rented the house. Some, after a few months they left. But did not wanna tell why they leave. One Chinese family stayed there for 2 years until they lost their son in an accident. Another Malay family, a few weeks after shifting in, the son met with an accident. Since then, no one rent the house.

It seems that the owner’s mother kept a certain kind of evil spirit to protect the house and she did not bring it with her when she left the house. So the spirit is left wondering around without an owner. We met her on a few occasion. When talking to her, we never have any eye contact. I noticed once that her eye ball (the white area) is red, like people who don’t have enough sleep.

Anyway, I still feel eerie every time I pass the house. I have to pass the house in order to get to my mom’s house. I am extra careful when driving at the curve coz on a few occasion I almost “terbabas” there even though I was driving slow. It’s like when you arrive there, you mind will wonder away. Thinking about other things, not concentrating on the road. And I will definitely pray every time I pass the place. Asking Jesus to protect me.
