I had my first ghostly encounter just this month. I dunno if you even consider it ghostly. But, my hairs stood on its ends when i realised something wasn't quite right.
As you all know, I have a cca and its Regular Service Project for Intellectually Disabled (RSPID). It's such a mouthful that it becomes a hassle to say the full name of my cca, so it was affectionately named RSPID. Anyway, I was at this particular school where our sessions were conducted weekly for the ID trainees. Nothing was amiss, even though i dislike using the toilets at that school cos it is old, small and dirty. For 3 straight years in that school, I have heard of some ghost stories at that school. But i just shook it off as myths or stories made up by other volunteers or students to scare people off. My boss even told one story about him going to the store room and hearing voices talking while he was in the midst of packing up the stuff, all alone in the dark. Anyway, that was fake and was meant to scare off some of the girls.
We always have dinner after the session, and we will all hitch a car ride back home from those who drove to the school. This particular night, which was a few weeks ago, we went back to the school to get the cars as usual, and i was feeling really urgent bcos i drank too much water. I needed to use the ladies urgently, but the lights to the toilets were spoiled. I was feeling really jialat and i asked ard if anybody else wanted to use the toilet. I suggested using our handphone to light up the way inside the toilet. So me and another female volunteer went in. It was pitch dark, i gathered all my courage and went inside the toilet. My friend and I went inside two cubicles next to each other nearest to the door and we just did wadever we had to do.
Just barely seconds after we entered our cubicles, I heard this female ghostly sound "woo~woo~", the typical sound made by other pple to scare each other. I was like, "Aiyo, Sherlyn, pls dun try to be funny, its dark in here." She replied, but i couldn't make out much from her muffled speech. I didn't give much thought and then we remained silent for quite a while. Suddenly, there was the sound of an old man coughing outside the toilet. I was like, "Sherlyn, did you hear that?" She said, yeah. I hurriedly finished my business and went out of the cubicle and waited for my friend to come out. Later, we went outside and into the light to wash our hands, relieved off the growing fear inside of me while i was inside the toilet.
When we came out, Sherlyn asked me if i was the one making the "woo~woo~" sound, I was shocked. Wasn't it Sherlyn who made that eerie ghostly sound effect? Then i asked her whether she heard the man coughing sound and she said yes. I felt goosebumps on my arms. Even if we dismissed the sound of the man coughing, by saying, is done by some male volunteer who coughed while passing by the toilet, how do we explain the "woo~woo~" sound effect, when it wasn't done by sherlyn or me?
Woo~Woo~, it wasn't me.
