Stranger in my home

September 19, 2011 by guest

Before 2009 i was living in a flat in Seng Kang but soon i moved to Jurong East. The house was at the top floor. My family lived with my grand parents. Anyway to cut this long story short my grand father has a'thing' that follows him around. In the old days malay families at these ghosts to protect their houses. These 'things' however come with a price. The cannot be removed and is slowly passed from generation to generation. If the entire family dies the ghost will move into a random house to find a new host.

My parents are divorced and since my grand father is getting ill each year the 'thing' will soon leave and find a new host. It mostly finds the person closest to it and it becomes it's host. Since my uncles and aunt say in other parts of the island the next host could be my mother, my brothers and sister or me myself.

Ever since i moved it.At the corner of my eye i see some kind of shadow in the shape of a human. Where ever i am it will be there. Even when i was still in Seng Kang i saw this figure when i was alone at home. It really scares me. It could be my specs but even when i use contact lenses i can still see this 'thing' it always watches me. The only time i can't see it is if i go to the mosque for my friday prayers. Im still in secondary school and see this 'thing' even in daylight. It does not follow me around because it's host is still my grand father.

I also hear some kind of knocking on the walls. The funny thing is that the part where the knocking comes from is the part where it's not facing any neighbours its a ten story drop behind that wall. It sometimes comes from the toilet in the master bedroom. My neighbour down stairs keeps on complaining about strange sounds coming from the bathroom at 4am. Something about someone taping the shower. I also hear footsteps above me. But thats the roof.

I feel kind of strange around 1am to 3 am like someone is watching me or something. This does not happen everyday. When i go to school i feel like someone is trying to stop me from leaving so i quickly rush out lock the door and gate and leave(this only happens when my brother goes to school first and everyone else is still asleep). I don't really know what is happening but i think the 'thing' might have choosen me as it's next host. I am the youngest of my brothers so i think it knows i will live longer. I just hope i get out the house before my grand father dies because i don't want to be the host of this 'thing'.

My great grandmother also had a ghost but this one cannot be passed from generation to generation. Instead it just chooses a random person. Shortly after the bomoh removed this ghost from my great grandmother's body she started having health problems and died at the age of 96. According to my mother the jinn was passed from my great grandfather who died at the age of 76. At the same time when the jinn had moved to my great grandmother she started to have memory problems and when i was young started forgeting names and recipies she had remembered her whole life.

My family has many ghost stories to share but some of them are of private matters so i should stop on this note.
