Finally did some interesting stuff, went for the "Pulau Ubin Hungry Ghost Tour" organized by Singapore Paranormal Investigators (SPI) on 19/08/2006 with Weida... SPI always organize outings to explore the supposedly haunted places in Singapore, but this was different, it was offshore... We'll explore the most famous haunting spots that are unparallel to anywhere else on the mainland...
Why the hell did you bring a shaver?
Oh, it's a torchlight?!? It seems more practical as a shaver though...
First we tried to find the spirit tree, but it was already burnt down and all that remain are its chopped up pieces...
Following that we boarded the truck which would take us halfway to a lost old Malay cemetery, the other half would be a 40° ascend on foot... This is the largest cemetetry (the size of a football field) in Ubin, many local Ubin residents do not even know of its existence!!! Traces and artifacts of black-magic being practiced at the old graves still can be seen there, vials that used to contain animal blood and plastic bottles that hold the spirits can be seen lying around...
The next place was the highlight of the night: a triangular junction... What was usually a T-junction was made a "triangle" junction instead... There is this triangle plot of land in the middle of the road much like in a round-about... SPI invited a specialist called Azri (who is the son of both parents that are Malay Bomohs and he had been trained formally in Indonesia by a famous Bomoh master) to perform a ritual a summon the spirits... After that, they decided to perform one of the methods to see ghosts from "The Eye 10", the knocking of bowls at a junction...
The bowls were set, the offering positioned, all that's left are the volunteers... I asked Weida if he wanted to volunteer, it'll be quite an experience... Azri then started going around checking everyone's right palm and asking them if they want to be part of this experiment... He came to me and checked my plam and asked me to try it, so I was like I'll go if Weida goes as well... He checked Weida's palm and said, "You cannot..." Weida was stunned, all this exploring and now he is told he can't see them...
I was hesitant, but my curiosity got the better of me... I wasn't thinking of the consequences or anything, just wanted to try it... The rest of the guinea pigs were gathered and Azri briefed us on what to do if we see or feel them, he also said to shout his name if we were too scared... Everyone else was ordered to wait at a hut 50 meters away, the tension was building... Before he left, he walked to me and placed his hands on my shoulders, "You be careful, k?"
WTF?!? Did he have to single me out? And what's with the "be careful" part? What can I do man? He was the one that asked me to join the experiment... All these went through my head; I wasn't scared, just stunned... He gave the command to start and left us alone... Everyone started knocking, though we were not in unison, it was obviously a slow tempo... We were facing a forest and I would glance every once in a while into it for any abnormalities; starting to get quite worried about what Azri said... I repeated his name in my head a few times, afraid that I would forget how to shout his name if the need arises... Started to imagine what I would do if something starts creeping up towards me, I guess I would be too afraid to control what I will do...
In less than a minute, the guy on my left started knocking VERY quickly, and I really mean very... Did he see something already? I glanced left through the corner of my eye but I don't see anything, nothing in front either... Several minutes passed, I was getting tired and bored, still that guy was hitting at an incredible rate... I started feeling something behind me...
