Speaker 1: Hi everyone, welcome back to another episode of too many
Speaker 1: Ghosts nowadays. I am your one and only host and
Speaker 1: supernatural Bie Genesis and it's so crazy that an entire
Speaker 1: week has just gone by. It's like I have assignments
Speaker 1: on top of assignments and I barely have time to sleep.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I would be the only one awake at two, three,
Speaker 1: four AM and then I have to use the toilet, right?
Speaker 1: And because it is dark and it is also very
Speaker 1: quiet at night, sometimes I feel like my eyes are
Speaker 1: playing tricks on me.
Speaker 1: So when I walk into the bathroom which is shared
Speaker 1: like there are few cubicles. It's like I always feel
Speaker 1: so guarded against something that might just jump up at me.
Speaker 1: But you know the thing is there are no ghosts
Speaker 1: in the toilet or there hasn't been any evidence or
Speaker 1: anything I have heard that have suggested that there would
Speaker 1: be a ghost in
Speaker 1: the toilet on my floor. But it's always just this
Speaker 1: image of a ghost or ghost looking in the ghost
Speaker 1: toilet in some school. You know I still remember in
Speaker 1: primary school they were saying that if you held a
Speaker 1: candle up in front of the mirror and then you
Speaker 1: chanted like Bloody Mary three times.
Speaker 1: So, you look in the mirror and then you see
Speaker 1: a face appear and apparently that bloody Mary's face. There
Speaker 1: is also another variation where you do the same thing.
Speaker 1: But you turn on a tap afterwards and then we
Speaker 1: blood flowing out of the tap instead of water. Okay,
Speaker 1: but that was like the one in primary school and
Speaker 1: then in secondary school we got upgraded, you know like
Speaker 1: People say that oh yeah there were actual things that
Speaker 1: have happened in the toilet before and there was this
Speaker 1: incident of whoever whoever did what in the toilet and
Speaker 1: then now there is this person's ghost haunting that toilet. Okay,
Speaker 1: so I have never really thought about it, but now
Speaker 1: that we are on this topic, I think that if
Speaker 1: I were a ghost, I wanna
Speaker 1: entertainment scary. I wanna be in there. So they knowing
Speaker 1: that you are thinking about your experiences particular.
Speaker 1: that you found was just overly realistic, just too realistic,
Speaker 1: you know to the point that you might even start thinking, wow,
Speaker 1: they did a really good job at this haunted house
Speaker 1: and they wouldn't even know. Anyways this episode today is
Speaker 1: actually a compilation of ghost stories that happened in a
Speaker 1: school setting.
Speaker 1: So, our first story took place on campus, not my campus,
Speaker 1: my friend's school. It was the event that happened at night.
Speaker 1: They usually had this haunted house themed escape room.
Speaker 1: that the seniors would organize for the juniors, you just
Speaker 1: a little bit of horror fun for everyone. This setup
Speaker 1: was in one of the classrooms and you know was
Speaker 1: so realistic that they even had a fake altar setup
Speaker 1: with like candles and incense. So, even if you just
Speaker 1: walk in, you can already smell the incense, you look
Speaker 1: at the flickering lights of the candle in the dark
Speaker 1: room and there is this fake alter there.
Speaker 1: There are also like you know many corners with like
Speaker 1: ripped up curtains stained with fake blood dripped around the
Speaker 1: area was really really well decorated. So since the fake
Speaker 1: altar setup was the first station, it was the first
Speaker 1: thing that the juniors would see, what the seniors wanted
Speaker 1: the juniors to do was to light and offer the
Speaker 1: incense and joysticks.
Speaker 1: at the altar to kind of kick start the entire game.
Speaker 1: Just one thing though, every altar is dedicated to someone, right?
Speaker 1: So they had to have a picture framed up of
Speaker 1: someone on the altar and where do you think the
Speaker 1: seniors got the picture from? Maybe some of you might
Speaker 1: be thinking just use AI to generate a picture of
Speaker 1: some random person
Speaker 1: Because the picture will not be of a real person
Speaker 1: that existed, right? So AI generated, but the senior source
Speaker 1: the picture from the obituary section of the newspaper. So
Speaker 1: was a photo of
Speaker 1: actual person who had passed away recently and they set
Speaker 1: up this very realistic looking and place the frame picture
Speaker 1: of this person right in the middle. So to them,
Speaker 1: it was just a just did what they had to
Speaker 1: do after to them everyone was supposed to have fun
Speaker 1: bit scared, right? So
Speaker 1: Right after the juniors, the group of juniors offered the
Speaker 1: joystick at the fake and we are about to move
Speaker 1: on to the next station because the fun has just
Speaker 1: started right? the first station kick started the game, let
Speaker 1: the fun begin. Really let the fun begin because at
Speaker 1: this point some of them said that they saw that
Speaker 1: the person in the picture look a bit different from before.
Speaker 1: Like the person was smiling a bit, just a small
Speaker 1: green but just five minutes ago they only remembered that
Speaker 1: the person look very emotionless, you know like RBF kind
Speaker 1: of but now they saw that the person was greening
Speaker 1: but this is very small green so they just push
Speaker 1: it off to the overthinking mind because you know it
Speaker 1: was very scary creepy vibes and all in the classroom. Suddenly.
Speaker 1: The girl who was standing at the back of the group,
Speaker 1: so she was the last one there.
Speaker 1: She started screaming. She was pointing at the picture all
Speaker 1: because she has turned back as everyone was about to
Speaker 1: move on to the next station.
Speaker 1: And she saw that the picture of the person.
Speaker 1: Was now full on smiling.
Speaker 1: You couldn't even deny that it was a small green
Speaker 1: overactive imagination, it was very obviously you know showing the
Speaker 1: teeth and all it was not the kind of warm
Speaker 1: friendly smile. Something was very wrong kind of weird s
Speaker 1: false smiles, something like that but that wasn't all.
Speaker 1: When the juniors moved on to the other stations, the
Speaker 1: group of girls and boys both let out a small
Speaker 1: screen when they were walking past one of the corner
Speaker 1: of the room because they saw this crawny looking figure
Speaker 1: crouching in the corner.
Speaker 1: Ya.
Speaker 1: So what did the junior see? At this point, even
Speaker 1: the seniors were nervous. They tried to turn on the light,
Speaker 1: but the light just wouldn't turn on. So the seniors
Speaker 1: were the facilitators ushered their group of juniors, ran to
Speaker 1: the lift, started sping the lift button. But the lift
Speaker 1: was just not moving. The lift wouldn't work as well.
Speaker 1: So they quickly got the juniors to go down to
Speaker 1: the stairs and back to the main assembly point.
Speaker 1: So thankfully no one got hurt and even though there
Speaker 1: were some scares, the seniors decided that we have been
Speaker 1: preparing for this for so long, can't just be because
Speaker 1: of some small incident that we cancel everyone's fund. So
Speaker 1: the seniors upstairs texted the ones downstairs saying okay, we
Speaker 1: are ready for you to send up the next batch
Speaker 1: of juniors for the escape room. And what did the
Speaker 1: seniors downstairs who were in charge of sending students up?
Speaker 1: What did they text the seniors upstairs back? They said
Speaker 1: that they haven't sent any group of juniors up yet.
Speaker 1: So, after this experience, I think the senior stopped holding
Speaker 1: this kind of haunted house escape room for the juniors anymore.
Speaker 1: I think they moved on to another kind of bonding
Speaker 1: activity not trauma bonding, I mean it works but just
Speaker 1: not trauma bonding in this flavour. But yeah moral of
Speaker 1: the story, if you don't wanna get burnt, don't play
Speaker 1: with fire.
Speaker 1: So, our second story of the week was shared to
Speaker 1: me by a mentor in school. He wasn't the main
Speaker 1: character of this story but he witnessed it first hand
Speaker 1: and it happened to him when he was still in
Speaker 1: secondary school having an overnight CCA camp. Many years ago,
Speaker 1: my mentor, he was on the secondary schools badminton team.
Speaker 1: So they had like an annual CCA camp. It is
Speaker 1: very normal and their was held in school. So it
Speaker 1: was a very exhausting first day of bonding activities, icebreaker
Speaker 1: games and they also had a few badminton challenges. So
Speaker 1: you know because it was secondary school, you had a
Speaker 1: curfew. So the teachers had to make sure that everyone
Speaker 1: was asleep by a certain time so that they weren't
Speaker 1: any boys missing from the sleeping area which is one
Speaker 1: of the classrooms. But I guess my mentor and his friends, friends,
Speaker 1: they were bit mischievous good friends so click.
Speaker 1: The two of them they decided that, sleep is for
Speaker 1: the weak, sleep is boring, let's rebel. So, they just
Speaker 1: decided that they don't want to sleep, they just want
Speaker 1: to do anything else but that.
Speaker 1: caught up, walk out the classroom when the teachers were away,
Speaker 1: the teachers went to sleep themselves, so was pretty late.
Speaker 1: they waited about two three hours after the curfew. They
Speaker 1: just explore the school at night. That's the three of them.
Speaker 1: So these boys usually in secondary school, we don't have
Speaker 1: a lot of activities that will extend all the way
Speaker 1: to the night. Like even CC would end by latest
Speaker 1: seven PM.
Speaker 1: So this boys have never seen a school at night.
Speaker 1: It is different my mentor he described it as a
Speaker 1: different vibe because he has never seen the school so quiet, dark, empty,
Speaker 1: deserted just devoid of life, you know something like that.
Speaker 1: Honestly there
Speaker 1: Nothing much you can do in a school but they
Speaker 1: just wanted to look for something. So they walk the
Speaker 1: empty corridors, you know with the stretch of classrooms on
Speaker 1: one side but obviously there was no one inside the
Speaker 1: classrooms except for the one with their sleeping. They took
Speaker 1: the stairs down, they walk the entire courtyard pas D
Speaker 1: room check it outside for bed went out.
Speaker 1: The walk past the school track, also nothing much to
Speaker 1: do since they weren't really any fun things for them
Speaker 1: to do, they just decided okay fine. Maybe the teachers
Speaker 1: are right let's go back to sleep. So the three
Speaker 1: boys started heading back to the classroom where they were
Speaker 1: supposed to be sleep.
Speaker 1: So, at the school track, the short cut was for
Speaker 1: them to cut through the school garden to get back
Speaker 1: to the classroom. So the school garden was the place
Speaker 1: where the gardening club students maintain some of the green there.
Speaker 1: So usually the gardening club students would just experimentally grow
Speaker 1: some fruits or interesting vegetables in the school garden and
Speaker 1: then they were in charge of taking care of the area.
Speaker 1: But it was a bit weird because they noticed that
Speaker 1: there were a lot of flower petals scattered all over
Speaker 1: the ground in the garden.
Speaker 1: The yellow and white petals that were lying everywhere in
Speaker 1: the garden were fresh and crisp and contrasted the dark
Speaker 1: green of the grass very well. So, they were really
Speaker 1: just standing out, like a sore thumb to the boys.
Speaker 1: One of the boys who recognize the flower first
Speaker 1: Something like that happens it is crucial that you have
Speaker 1: something to put in between the teeth so that they
Speaker 1: can bite down on the object instead of biting their
Speaker 1: own tongue. So my mentor and his friend, his other friend,
Speaker 1: they were just very panic try to search for anything
Speaker 1: they had on them to help this friend out.
Speaker 1: And then my mentor found a pencil in his pocket.
Speaker 1: that was all he had. He put a pencil in
Speaker 1: his mouth and that friend who was having a seizure
Speaker 1: his teeth clamped down on the pencil and he was
Speaker 1: just biting on it so hard that the pencil eventually
Speaker 1: broke into two.
Speaker 1: After the seizure was over and after making sure that
Speaker 1: he was okay, the three boys immediately went back to
Speaker 1: the classroom. So my mentor did eventually ask the friend
Speaker 1: if he had any history of epilepsy and of course,
Speaker 1: he didn't. So most of us in Singapore would probably
Speaker 1: be very familiar with why pies are special kind of
Speaker 1: flower especially in the supernatural realm.
Speaker 1: Because they are very very strongly associated with Pontianak. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean of course there are ways that you can
Speaker 1: counter yourself from Pontianak attack. What you can do is
Speaker 1: carry big nails, carry scissors, carry knives with you. I mean,
Speaker 1: it sounds crazy right? Like you are carrying this like
Speaker 1: huge knife around like yeah okay. Of course we are
Speaker 1: not gonna be doing that in public spaces but
Speaker 1: These are just some of the methods that people have
Speaker 1: used to counter against attacks. So, I'm not asking you
Speaker 1: to bring like this huge knife, I'm not asking you
Speaker 1: to bring any knifes or scissors or like big nails
Speaker 1: in public. Okay, please don't be crazy. Anyways, these are
Speaker 1: all the stories I have for you today.
Speaker 1: uh next week is gonna beumn festival. I hope that
Speaker 1: you guys have already stocked up on your, your before
Speaker 1: starting prices in the market. uh so don't have to
Speaker 1: worry too much about Pontianak, stay safe, have fun, enjoy
Speaker 1: your night. Don't have to bring any big scissors I
Speaker 1: guess you could bring a small to cut but just
Speaker 1: plastic will be fine.
Speaker 1: So this wraps up this week's episode of Too many
