Fear The (Super)Natural

Yesterday's Ghost-Hunting Trip Was Quite A Letdown. I Personally Saw Or Felt Nothing Supernatural, But There Were Others Who Saw White Silhouettes Drifting/Dashing Around, Felt The Temperature Change etc. Either I'm Too Oblivious To Stuff Like This Or My Mental Awareness Is Still Very Low. Elaboration On The Adventure Below. Those Who Fear These Kinds Of Stories Either Brace Yourselves Or Don't Continue.

There Were 9 Of Us, 4 Have Been There Before And 2 Of The 4 Leading Us. Among The Other 5 Was A Photographer.

The First Spot Was Rather Out Of My Expectations; It Was Very Very Near Tian Hou Temple, A Place I Often Go To As A Child. It Was Like An Abandoned Two-Building Bungalow Of Some Sorts, One On The Slopes And Another Above It On Flat Ground. Before We Entered An Indian Lady Living Very Close By (Almost Considered A Next-Door Neighbour) Saw Some Of Us And Told Us To Be Careful If We Were Going In Because There Has Been Snake Sightings Recently. She Was Right. When We Went To The First Building Where It Was Rumoured To Be A Place Where People Reared Spirits, The Very First Thing We Saw Was A Python, And Based On The Markings Probably A Reticulated Python, Its Head At Least The Size of My Fist. That Alone Deterred Us From Exploring Further. The Atmosphere Was Eerie Enough In The Dark, With Posters Writing "Private Property, Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted" Everywhere. So We Went Upwards To The 2nd Building; Dried Swimming Pools, An Abandoned Luxurious Looking House, Lots Of Trees, And Hence Owls, Around. The Story Of The Place Was Supposedly There Was Someone Raped And Killed There Before The Place Was Believed To Be Haunted And Then Abandoned. There Was An Extremely Fresh Looking Rose Near The Pools But I'm Not Sure If It Is A Real One Or A Plastic One. Then Some Saw 2 Shining Things Around, Believed To Be Eyes Of A Cat. We Went Inside, Went Upstairs Until Someone Saw A White Something Drift Past The Balcony. Explored More And Found Nothing, We Went Out Of There After That.

The Second Place Was Supposedly The Eeriest Of The 3 Places, Where Sightings Have Been The Most Often. From What I Heard, There Was A Malay Professor Who Killed His Son And Wife Before Setting His Own Home On Fire And Hanging Himself. So The Spirits Were Believed To Have A Violent Nature Craving Vengeance Or Something. The Place Was Close To The National Zoo And The House Itself Was Strange; Upon Entering The Main Gate We Find Ourselves On A Platform Of Sorts In A Forest Like Place, Although From The Outside Its A Semi-D. The House Itself Was Downstairs, On That Set of Stairs There Have Been Sightings Of A Woman Crawling Her Way Up, Much Like In Ju-On. So We Went In, Finding Most Of The Placed Charred. Supposedly The Kid Would Be Seen Crawling About Inside The House While The Prof Himself Patrols Right Outside The House, By The Main Gate Where The Ones That Have Been There Previously Saw Him Waiting By Their Car. We Continued To Explore Every Spot That We Can, Before Going Back Up To The Balcony Where The 'Leader' Asked Us To Sit In A Circle, Each Watching The Others' Backs While We Tried To 'Communicate' Verbally With Them. Someone Felt Something By The Trees But When We Took A Closer Look, There Wasn't Anything Anymore. We All Left After Some Time There Without Anything Happening.

The Final Place, None Other Than The Highland Towers. Supposedly After One Of The Towers Crumbled To The Ground, The Other Two Towers Were Attempted To be Demolished, But To No Avail. We Went Up A Few Floors Saw Stuff That Supposedly Meant That There Were People Rearing Ghostlings Here As Well, But Nothing More. Someone Saw Some Glittering Stuff Drift Through, But Only For That Instant. Then We Went To An Abandoned Bungalow Nearby, Which Was Occupied By Uncountable Numbers Of Flying Things, Either Bats Or Moths. If They Were Bats I'd Be Happy, Because If They Were Moths Damn They're Huge. Before We Left We Played A Little Game; All Of Us Got In Pairs (Save The Photographer, Who Never Really Needed The 'Leader' As He Just Rushed Towards Whatever He Felt Was Funny) And Closed Ourselves In A Room In That Bungalow. Supposedly That Way We May Feel Something. Well, Supposedly, Coz I Felt Nothing But Heat.

The Conclusion Of That Trip By The 'Leader' Was That Someone's Spiritual Strength Or Something Was Too Great That The Ghosts Did Not Show Themselves. But According To Vincent, The Trip Today Didn't Have The Feel It Had Before Because The 'Leader' Today Lacked The Leadership Quality That The Previous One Did. He Said That The Previous Trip Was Silent, No One Joked Around And Everyone Payed Full Attention To Any Abnormality In The Surroundings, But Not Today.

Oh Well... Though Nothing Supernatural Occurred, My Nerves Was Very Much Wrecked by The Living Instead Of The Dead; First The Snake, Then The Moths. Maybe I'll Get My Chance Some Other Time. To Fellow Supernatural Thrill Seekers, Feel Free To Join This 'Team' Of Explorers.

Until Then, Adieu To Y'all.
