Listen to the story
here.
After my army I became
a dancer and joined a club called House of Ashes, in Far East Club. It
was near a Chinese temple. The club was supposedly used to be a
storage house of ashes. When they stared the club, they painted the
whole club red.
Then, many things happened. We have dancers who fall down without
reason. The artistic director would be performing halfway, we have
caught it on camera, and he would fall down in a funny way. His leg
was swept off the floor, he didn’t slip. Dancers coming on or off
stage, there would be a dry patch, they would slipped or sprain their
ankle coming out from that corner. There was a new host. While hosting
one night, she actually saw an old lady waving down at her. I don’t
know why but I seemed to have things of ‘people’ waving at us. She was
stunned for 2 minutes on stage.
I have no idea about the history of the place. But after things start
to happen, we started talking about it.
We have manual curtains. Every time the show was about to end, someone
has to ensure that someone shut and open the curtain. That time I was
on duty, I have to ensure that someone will shut the curtain. The item
was about to finish I flipped the curtain to see if there was someone
on standby to shut the curtain after we finish, I saw someone. And
after the item finished, and the dancers went off stage. I told the
fellow that “he can open the curtain now” couple of times. There was
nobody there. I was wondering then who closed the curtain in the first
place. I was standing such that nobody could leave the curtain area
without me seeing him left.
So after everything ends, and I was returning the props, the cutout of
people in funny poses. I wasn’t near any aircon. If there were wind
the props would have simply fall to the front. The props were leaning
against the wall. As I try to pick it up, I saw the props moved
horizontally towards me. I freaked out, dropped the props and left the
place. Everyone heard the big bang as the prop dropped to the ground.
Another time halfway dancing, something twisted my legs. As a dancer I
was trained to do stunts properly. But on video you can see my leg was
twisted by something.
Conclusion was that the club was supposedly to give offerings to the
spirits there. So they invited some bomohs down, but the bomoh said
these are Chinese ghost.
So we got the medium. So the medium told us this place used to be the
storage house of ashes of samsui women who used to stay there. There
was a group who are not very happy because of the loud music. Until we
started playing Chinese items, then they would sit in the corner and
watch us. So every week we burnt offering.
Then we consulted another medium who said that the place wasn’t
conducive to business. This contradicted the first medium who said
that this is a good place after some fengshui checking. She said the
club own ground was bombed during WW2, and a lot of people died there.
And the red paint is making them very unhappy. She recommended that we
do another set of offering to them. That night that we made the second
offering, the whole club started leaking, even though it wasn’t
raining. So we called the medium. After 5 minutes of checking, she
said they are crying!
After she came down, she said there is a new group of spirit who wants
to move in. this old group is pissed and we have offered to the wrong
group.
So now we have a certain corner where we can’t put props or things,
and another side where we have char siew offerings
