Background of the haunted place

The area which Alice is staying is under Fengshan GRC community.  Her place is Bedok North Rd, near Ave 3.  She has heard true ghostly encounters from friends who live near her who tell her of creepy experiences in her neighborhood but she 1st start off with her house.

Her flat is a brand new flat when HDB just built up the neighbourhood.  It's about almost 20 ++yrs a little old (no more than her 24 yr of age for sure).  As far as she could remember her area was very clean as in the old days neighbours were chatty and very close to one another---unlike now.  Many of her old neighbours have since moved and replaced by new, younger yet cold neighbours.  Yet, they moved too.  No one seemed to stay for long in those flats just beside hers which is on the 6th floor.  Even her grandma who lives on the 5th floor did any of her neighbours not moved.  Actually the main reason was upgrading.  Many of them had found bigger and better places to move into.  It wasn't long before she was in her late teens when she 'bu zhi bu jue' realised that "hmmm...how come I never realized all along that my flat seems pretty quiet lately?"  That was 8 yrs ago.  She is 24 this year.  Just in year 2000 an old childhood friend (they lived in the same block but different storey) whom lost contact with for over 10 years, they came to meet up in their life again by fate.  He came to her house to visit her and before he popped over to her place he said he walked through the entire neighborhood and flat.  He told her the whole block seems very quiet and dead, like a ghost town, or rather flat.  He said when he was still living in the flat everything seemed so lively n cheery.  Now its as if every doors is shut and looks as if no one occupied the block at all.

That's the outside of her house.  Now inside her flat: When she was young all was okay.  Partly because her house was very tidy and clean.  It wasn't until her dad left when she was 4 that her mum somehow lost her sense and tried many years to salvage the marriage but it didn't work.  She tried temple mediums, regular prayers and visits to the Church, crying, begging, even getting her and her bro to recite sad lines to win her dad back.  All to no avail.  As far as she could recall somewhere when she was 6 or 7, her mum started bringing her (only Alice alone which nobody knows why) every Sunday by bus no. 7 (at that time no such thing as MRT) from Bedok to Buona Vista.  Each and every Sunday the mother would drag her to this small, smelly and cramp dark flat in Marsilling (which is a street in Buona Vista) to pay visit to this old man.  He looked Indian to me, yet Malay too.  Alice can't make out much at 6 yrs old then.  All she knows he spoke Malay (although he looked very Indian), always placed a bottle of water to his lips and chant and God knows what, but next thing Alice knew that she and her brother was forced to drink those stuff every night before bedtime.  Yes, they were also forced to conspire with her mum unwillingly to drug her dad who came to gave them tuitions twice a week.  He came only to teach them, nothing else.

Oily stinky stuff (those typical oil that you would smell on typical foreign Indian workers in Little India) were rubbed on the door knobs and neither Alice nor her brother are to say a word nor touch the door knob, other than her dad that is.  She also recall faithfully every visit her dad came to teach them he was 'tricked' into drinking a glass of coke which was doctored with funny black powderish stuff.  Anyway those attempts by Alice's mum never worked.  Her dad still never returned to the family.  You couldn't say the bomoh was lousy, maybe not.  Because Alice's dad actually never touched even a sip of those drinks at all which he revealed to Alice many, many years later when she was 20.  It wasn't until Alice was much older that she realize that the old man her mum paid regular visits to is known as a bomoh.

Along the way to woo her dad back... since the day he left when Alice was 4 till now at 24 (thats 20 yrs exactly) her mum had given up hope in her life and left even her house in ruins.  If you know what is a scrap-yard, that house is one.  No furniture in the living room but strewn cardboard boxes spilling out its contents, metre-high piling old bills dating as far back as 1982 and even early 80s yellowed newspapers.  Rags here, plastic bags there....all was in a mess.  Despite attempts by Alice's friends and her to clean up the house it didn't work.  For within 2 week the house was back to square one.  Alice even got an earful by her mum for touching her junk.

People says when a house is physically messy it has dark corners and this attracts spirits.  True.  Alice mentioned that her mum never opens the living room door even once unless she needs to go out.  Even sales people she would chase away.  The windows are renovated to copper framed with TINTED, BROWNISH BLACK panes.  As you could have guessed the windows have never been opened too.  She tried opening them but kana scolded.  Her house literally have no sunlight.  The kitchen is a cockroach nest and more recently a family of rats came to live with the cockroach family and Alice too.  So much for extra 'neighbors'.  Caught sight of those rodents a few times too but they out ran her.


Haunting accounts

Alice's 1st experience came when she was around 19.  She was lying on her bed talking to a friend on the phone when she heard a heavy breathing noise right beside her.  It sounded as if its from a late 20s or 30 something man.  Sounded as if he very big in size too.  She shrug it off as her 'imagination'.  Things got worse later on those years.

Case 1.
Alice woke up at 7pm and opened her room door only to find her brother leaving for his night shift with the SAF.  She bade him farewell and went to kitchen.  Checked out that mum wasn't home either.  Her bedroom, Alice's room, brother's room, no one was in.  So she went to toilet, bathed and washed laundry.  She got a habit of washing laundry and turning off the running tap to save water.  While scrubbing Alice heard light footsteps running far from the living room direction to the kitchen.  At first she thought it was the neighbors above with naughty kids.  Then to her horror, she BLOODY HELL SWEAR that right above her she heard something whispered her name " A-L-I-C-E..".  Her blood froze.  She  knew she was alone, can't be mum nor brother because they are very noisy when they return home.  The voice sounded just right above her...and light...as if hollow with echo......the voice sounded unisex.  Couldn't make it if it was a lady or male voice.  The tone of it sounded as if it was calling her to disturb her or distract her attention away from her laundry.

Case 2.
Alice's PC used to be in living room.  The Winamp had about 20 songs in it and its not on auto repeat nor replay.  That means if song no. 20 ends the Winamp won't play anymore or start from Song no. 1 UNLESS someone clicks on the button "Play".  Her ex boyfriend and her were in the bedroom chatting with the music blasting in the living room until the very last song.  Then it became quiet after the last song as expected....  They continued chatting for another 15mins later.  Suddenly her PC blasted songs from the Winamp again!!  As was said before, it won't run unless someone clicks on the "Play" button on the PC.  And nobody else was in the house!

Case 3.
It was also around 7pm and right after work Alice jumped into her seat and starting IRC-ing away.  On her right was the kitchen which lights were all off.  She was on IRC for an hour over when (her Winamp and no music nor TV was on at that time) a male voice from her right hand-side called out "Hello."  That was all she heard.  She immediately turned the head to the right and saw nothing but empty darkness in the kitchen.  No one nor nothing was there.  Again, it sounded hollow but from a rather younger man this time.  And the Hello wasn't evil.  It sounded as if it was sincerely wanted to befriend Alice.  Alice confessed with a little shy, that sometimes when she was alone she would be naked or semi-naked in the house.

Case 4.
This is the 2nd most scariest experience that ever happened to Alice in her house.  'Have you ever fallen asleep yet your conscious state of mind is awake?' Alice asked.  Meaning to say for example: if you sleep and your mum just suddenly walks into your room with your father and they started talking, you are truly asleep yet you also could hear what they are talking about.  She didn't known what kind of sleep this is called but this is really in a sleep state just that don't know why consciously you can hear the physical surroundings around you.

One Sat around high noon after watching crappy Ch5 shows Alice fell asleep just suddenly (its funny at that time because she got up at 10am, had a 12hr sleep just b4 that, and after an hour of watching TV she doesn't know why she was overcome by sleepiness again).  It didn't take long before she swore again she heard 2 male voices talking on the floor just next to the bed.  Both sounded young.  The conversation goes:

"Look! She's asleep!"

"Yeah...."

The next feeling Alice had was she felt an impression pressed down on her bed next to where her leg was.  Its as if something went over sit on the mattress just beside where she was lying.  She didn't know why too but she couldn't seem to get up.  Not as in physically but as in sleep.  Yet she BLOODY swore what she heard and experienced was very true!!  Next she knew that she was rifted off to this dream.  Her 'pet' chi-hua-hua (she always wanted to own a pet chi-hua-hua but no chance because her house was too messy it will get lost in the scrap-yard) was standing at the foot of her bedroom door from inside the bedroom.  She went over and picked it up as if its her.  In front of the door was total empty darkness.  SO dark it looked actually like a Black Hole.  Alice carried the pup in her arms and didn't know why but instinctively she shouted out "In the name of God, go away!!".  Alice had to say that although she is no longer an active Christian at that time in her life either.  Then she woke up..... maybe the pup dream was a bit unreal but she really believed what she heard of the 2 male voices.....

Case 5.
This is freakiest thing that freaked Alice out after which she got her psychic friend over to her place as a last resort before SPI.  Around 7pm Alice was cooking dinner for a Valentine's Day dinner for another of her ex boyfriend and her.  No one was in the house because she checked beforehand.  She listened advice from her dad not to isolate herself in silent conditions if ever she was alone in the house. Turn on some music, TV or whatever.  Alice did just that.  As her bedroom is at the far end of the house and a very far distant to the kitchen, she turned on her radio and turned it on to VERY high volume such that the music could reach her in the kitchen as she was cooking.  Everything was okay until about 20mins later she heard a "ching" noise.  It sounded like glasses being "Yam Seng".  Now she knows this wasn't funny because no one else was in at all.  What made the matter worse was that the living room was in a black out.  Anyway she dropped her ladle and rushed to her room and was in horrors!!  She originally had 4 glasses, each filled with a tealight candle, placed on a stable and broad flat surface....namely her study table, all along as a mode of decoration.  What she saw wasn't decoration.  Her 4 glasses each had the tealights originally in them strewn on the floor and all the 4 glasses were stacked up on to another like circus!!  Her room air con was on so the windows are naturally shut all the while.

Finally Alice confided in her psychic girlfriends who confirmed with me (after a visit to her place) that there is the presence of 2 young male spirits, one big and burly sized late 20s male spirit, one small little teenage boy spirit and a harmful female spirit.  The male spirit had sexually harassed her but the details are too obscene to be spelled out here.  Now... Alice didn't even tell this friend about her 'male spiritual' encounters, all she told her was the glasses, yet she knew who and who were residing in her flat!!

Alice's granny's flat is just a level below.  Same unit, only at a different storey.  Yet her house is extremely clean.  Alice's psychic friend visited granny's place and further confirmed with her that it is clean spiritually.
