from what i've seen from your site, i must say that u guys are truly serious about this ghost-hunting stuff, which is good. i've thought about joining you guys before, but i do not think ill make the cut, or time. anyway u guys are doing great.

if you really want to get on a 'ghost-trip', do visit my old secondary school, Maris Stella High, in the night.

Maris Stella High is situated on the old Bartley Road, geographically located between the Muslim cemetery (Bindidari, sorry for the spelling mistake) which is about than 700m away separated by an open grass field, and a Chinese cemetry, which is right NEXT to our fence. no joke.

I can tell you many haunting stories about the school, but i've no time for that now. so ill just relate my only personal encounter with 'them' to you now...

I was in Sec4 then, an N.C.O. of n.p.c.c. of my sch. Due to preparations for the school's eca fair the next day, i had to stay back with some of my peers as well as juniors in school. Feeling hungry, me and a junior decided to take a bus down to Toa Payoh to get some supper, and by the time we got back to our school gate, it was close to midnight.

The distance from the gate to my school building is roughly 150m, upslope. On the right is the Muslim cemetry 700m away separated by an open field. On my left was the primary school's porch which was lined with tall palm trees. There were no street lamps or shelter along the straight road leading up to my school compound, so everything was dark around us and we had to rely on the little moonlight to see our way. With my junior walking on my left, we proceeded up the road.

After walking about 30m and passing by the porch, my junior slowed down and started to mutter that he 'sees somethings'. u will never know the panic i felt then. knowing that we cannot just walk back, i tried to reassure him by telling him not to worry as i'm with him and to just continue walking towards the school. but before i could fully reassure him, i think i needed some assurance myself because at roughly 20m in front i could see a 'ball of shadow' just lying on the road, and 'it' started moving towards us. it was really dark at that time so i couldn't see what the 'thing' was. we stood still, and 'it' kept moving closer. at 5m away, we discovered that 'it' was a black dog and it juz passed us by. we didn't look back to see where it went but hurried our way up, with me trying to loosen up the tension by talking some rubbish to my junior. he was silent.

when we finally reached the welcoming bright lights of the school compound, i asked him if he was 'ok' and what did he 'see' as we were walking up the road. to me, everything was normal other than the encounter with the dog.

he appeared shakened and pale. then he said," As were walking past the palm trees along the porch, i could see black shadows drifting among the trees. As we walked further up, i saw more than one shadow drifting towards us along the road and it wasn't the dog. one of them drifted very closely on your side and passed you by."

i was speechless. i have known my junior for sometime and he's no joker or prankster, but a down-to-earth guy. i didn't feel good for the rest of the night because of what had happened. no matter how much i try to convince myself that its untrue, i have to admit that during the walk up the road, i have the nagging feeling and sensation that we are not the only 2 people making our way along the path, though there was no one around but us
