I just came back less than a month 25 00:01:35,330 --> 00:01:35,489 Speaker 1: and he was like oh my god, I also 26 00:01:48,752 --> 00:01:49,443 Speaker 1: Shanghai, China. 27 00:02:25,500 --> 00:02:28,539 Speaker 1: So, he was just walking around. He saw a lot 28 00:02:28,538 --> 00:02:34,820 Speaker 1: of interesting cultural artifacts, uh, a lot of souvenirs. He 29 00:02:34,820 --> 00:02:37,100 Speaker 1: didn't buy any for me, but it's because I also 30 00:02:37,100 --> 00:02:41,220 Speaker 1: went to China. But he had a good few days 31 00:02:41,220 --> 00:02:44,660 Speaker 1: there after the business trip and then because he had 32 00:02:44,660 --> 00:02:47,940 Speaker 1: a friend from Singapore who was in Dubai and he has, 33 00:02:48,139 --> 00:02:50,059 Speaker 1: he had never been to Dubai and his friend invited him, 34 00:02:50,350 --> 00:02:51,779 Speaker 1: not come to Dubai and spend a few days with me. 35 00:03:46,139 --> 00:03:49,380 Speaker 1: And I guess it is quite normal. Sometimes maybe he 36 00:03:49,380 --> 00:03:53,100 Speaker 1: had been overseas in Shanghai for like a few weeks. So, 37 00:03:53,479 --> 00:03:56,259 Speaker 1: it was normal that maybe he was very exhausted, burnt 38 00:03:56,259 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: out from work, even though he did play for a while. 39 00:03:59,009 --> 00:04:03,380 Speaker 1: You know, everyone in the quarter life crisis stuck in 40 00:04:03,380 --> 00:04:06,179 Speaker 1: a corporate job, probably experience this kind of things. It 41 00:04:06,179 --> 00:04:08,419 Speaker 1: could be due to stress, it could be due to 42 00:04:08,419 --> 00:04:12,419 Speaker 1: a lot of physical fatigue, so never know. So on 43 00:04:12,419 --> 00:04:15,580 Speaker 1: the last night of his trip in Dubai. 44 00:04:16,109 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: The both of them went to bed early, they share 45 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: hotel room their roommates in the hotel room. And the 46 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: hotel room was very quiet, the lights off because they 47 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:23,219 Speaker 1: went to bed early. 48 00:04:26,010 --> 00:04:30,769 Speaker 1: But sometime during the night, his friend woke up to 49 00:04:30,769 --> 00:04:31,928 Speaker 1: the sound of whispering. 50 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:08,010 Speaker 1: H. 51 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:06,649 Speaker 1: Saya. 52 00:06:24,079 --> 00:06:26,679 Speaker 1: That he shouldn't stay around to find out what was wrong. 53 00:06:26,790 --> 00:06:28,679 Speaker 1: He knew it was wrong, but he didn't want to 54 00:06:28,678 --> 00:06:31,479 Speaker 1: stay out. You know as they say, right? Don't screw around, 55 00:06:31,529 --> 00:06:32,269 Speaker 1: don't find out. 56 00:07:42,239 --> 00:07:44,529 Speaker 1: He was confused, he was like, you know. 57 00:08:08,299 --> 00:08:10,799 Speaker 1: And so, just like that, he returned back to Singapore, 58 00:08:11,109 --> 00:08:12,850 Speaker 1: and he shared this story with his mother. 59 00:08:25,220 --> 00:08:25,739 Speaker 1: S 60 00:08:26,470 --> 00:08:26,890 Speaker 1: Okay. 61 00:08:44,419 --> 00:08:46,010 Speaker 1: So it turns out that this woman, woman, had followed 62 00:08:46,010 --> 00:08:50,968 Speaker 1: him all the way from China. He said that the 63 00:08:50,969 --> 00:08:54,049 Speaker 1: spirit was not gonna be anything harmful towards him but 64 00:09:20,210 --> 00:09:22,590 Speaker 1: Didn't know he went back to Singapore, so I don't 65 00:09:22,590 --> 00:09:24,968 Speaker 1: know lah. I mean he didn't tell me, he did 66 00:09:24,969 --> 00:09:27,090 Speaker 1: give me the details of the spirit because I was 67 00:09:27,090 --> 00:09:32,479 Speaker 1: interested and he didn't he didn't know. But you know 68 00:09:32,479 --> 00:09:36,369 Speaker 1: the ritual and then afterward he no longer had all 69 00:09:36,369 --> 00:09:41,049 Speaker 1: this exhaustion, you know, remove the spirit from him. Thankfully 70 00:09:41,049 --> 00:09:42,799 Speaker 1: nothing happen to him again. 71 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 1: But I guess it's a bit early to tell because 72 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:52,819 Speaker 1: he just around the same time. So we did catch 73 00:09:52,820 --> 00:09:54,630 Speaker 1: up a little bit about our time in China. He 74 00:09:54,630 --> 00:09:55,439 Speaker 1: said that when he was in the 75 00:09:57,940 --> 00:10:00,140 Speaker 1: There were a lot of like very ancient looking stuff 76 00:10:00,140 --> 00:10:01,820 Speaker 1: and he is the kind of guy that likes to 77 00:10:01,820 --> 00:10:06,179 Speaker 1: look at those maybe ancient artifacts or like ancient looking stuff. 78 00:10:06,260 --> 00:10:10,819 Speaker 1: Sometimes he likes to go to like thrift shops, secondhand shops, 79 00:10:13,070 --> 00:10:14,979 Speaker 1: you know. Second hand not just clothes, but also like 80 00:10:14,979 --> 00:10:19,700 Speaker 1: some plates, bowls, or like instruments, bags, you know. 81 00:10:20,330 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 1: So, you know, I think, really you just never know, 82 00:10:24,090 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: maybe like I suspect could be encounter shop because I 83 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:26,669 Speaker 1: think it's easier for them to know. Sometimes. So just 84 00:10:26,669 --> 00:10:26,969 Speaker 1: out of curiosity, I asked if this was his first 85 00:10:26,969 --> 00:10:27,090 Speaker 1: experience with things like this. And he said, 86 00:10:55,989 --> 00:10:56,539 Speaker 1: exactly, experience experience. 87 00:11:07,599 --> 00:11:08,239 Speaker 1: The turning of the supernatural. 88 00:11:27,059 --> 00:11:28,589 Speaker 1: But before that, he was quite a child to believe 89 00:11:28,590 --> 00:11:31,619 Speaker 1: in supernatural because he was quite frankly speaking quite afraid 90 00:11:31,619 --> 00:11:32,349 Speaker 1: of horror. 91 00:11:55,510 --> 00:11:58,349 Speaker 1: But he said that one incident in primary school actually 92 00:11:58,349 --> 00:12:02,570 Speaker 1: happened in his school campus that changed his entire outlook. 93 00:12:02,989 --> 00:12:06,190 Speaker 1: So this incident took place when he was around eleven 94 00:12:06,190 --> 00:12:06,659 Speaker 1: years old. So he was actually studying in a missionary. 95 00:12:06,669 --> 00:12:07,130 Speaker 1: When he was in primary, he had remedial classes with 96 00:12:07,130 --> 00:12:08,130 Speaker 1: his group of classmates. So there will be a break 97 00:12:08,130 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 1: in between after the 98 00:12:22,875 --> 00:12:25,835 Speaker 1: Official like timing. After the official end of day, you 99 00:12:25,835 --> 00:12:28,315 Speaker 1: have like a two hour break and remedial class. So 100 00:12:28,315 --> 00:12:31,694 Speaker 1: this two hour break sometimes they play, sometimes they like lunch. 101 00:12:31,705 --> 00:12:31,895 Speaker 1: So while waiting for real, and sometimes we go to 102 00:12:31,895 --> 00:12:31,924 Speaker 1: the play. 103 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:48,770 Speaker 1: So one afternoon they went to the same place. 104 00:13:14,349 --> 00:13:14,590 Speaker 1: kids. 105 00:13:32,950 --> 00:13:35,780 Speaker 1: So that afternoon, they decided, you know, you know. So 106 00:13:35,780 --> 00:13:35,819 Speaker 1: they knew. 107 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,219 Speaker 1: And at the end of this, this distance, that he 108 00:14:04,219 --> 00:14:05,299 Speaker 1: felt quite unsettling. 109 00:14:08,140 --> 00:14:12,380 Speaker 1: The walls were made of wood. Very, very old, very, 110 00:14:12,460 --> 00:14:16,619 Speaker 1: very dilapidated. There is like, actually glass windows, you know, 111 00:14:18,169 --> 00:14:21,500 Speaker 1: it was very dark and very empty. It was already shattered, 112 00:14:21,700 --> 00:14:24,710 Speaker 1: you know, like the windows and the surrounding area over 113 00:14:24,710 --> 00:14:24,900 Speaker 1: there was completely silent. 114 00:14:28,299 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: There was a kind of boys walked. 115 00:14:34,150 --> 00:14:35,070 Speaker 1: And most of the boys. 116 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: And he looked at his friend told them, guys, want 117 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:05,190 Speaker 1: to come in with me inside. All the friends, my friend, 118 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:12,239 Speaker 1: are you crazy. I show you, show you. So we 119 00:15:12,239 --> 00:15:15,950 Speaker 1: walked straight into the house. They waited for him outside. 120 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: So he stayed inside the house for a few minutes 121 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: before coming back out, looking completely relaxed. This guy is like, 122 00:15:23,450 --> 00:15:23,469 Speaker 1: you know. 123 00:15:46,609 --> 00:15:49,719 Speaker 1: And so of course eventually naturally, everyone forgot about it. 124 00:15:51,109 --> 00:15:51,679 Speaker 1: But the following week, during a math exam. 125 00:16:03,099 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: The silence in the exam hall was shattered. 126 00:16:06,169 --> 00:16:07,429 Speaker 1: Because boy, boy. 127 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,210 Speaker 1: And very, very out of character for him. He was brave, yes, yes, 128 00:16:26,539 --> 00:16:26,590 Speaker 1: I think, you know. 129 00:17:09,655 --> 00:17:12,574 Speaker 1: Two PE teachers to restrain him. And you know back 130 00:17:12,574 --> 00:17:13,385 Speaker 1: in the PE teachers, they were actually muscular, it took 131 00:17:13,385 --> 00:17:13,854 Speaker 1: two muscular PE teachers to restrain this small boy. He 132 00:17:13,854 --> 00:17:14,354 Speaker 1: was not even like a big boy. Like he was, 133 00:17:15,125 --> 00:17:15,175 Speaker 1: he was, he was. 134 00:18:28,900 --> 00:18:32,790 Speaker 1: Was that seriously, that all you took away from this experience. 135 00:18:33,079 --> 00:18:36,069 Speaker 1: It is not that you should abandoned house, but that 136 00:18:36,069 --> 00:18:38,150 Speaker 1: you wait for one of your friends to get possessed 137 00:18:38,150 --> 00:18:38,599 Speaker 1: that exam be canceled so study, bro. I mean, it was, 138 00:18:38,650 --> 00:18:38,910 Speaker 1: and I'm sure that was, that was a life changing 139 00:18:38,910 --> 00:18:38,979 Speaker 1: moment for my friend. 140 00:18:55,589 --> 00:18:56,180 Speaker 1: That was when he started believing that supernatural entities do 141 00:18:56,180 --> 00:18:59,500 Speaker 1: have the power. Okay, I hope that my friend, you 142 00:18:59,500 --> 00:19:01,729 Speaker 1: guys will take away from this story consequences. If you like, 143 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:02,589 Speaker 1: I don't know. 144 00:19:20,670 --> 00:19:22,290 Speaker 1: Literally walking into, you know. Okay, so this is all 145 00:19:22,290 --> 00:19:25,060 Speaker 1: the time we have for this week's episode as usual, 146 00:19:25,349 --> 00:19:28,099 Speaker 1: if you or anyone you know has an interesting story 147 00:19:28,099 --> 00:19:30,290 Speaker 1: that you like to share with me, feel free to 148 00:19:30,290 --> 00:19:33,469 Speaker 1: drop me a DM on Instagram at TMGN underscore 149 00:19:33,699 --> 00:19:37,790 Speaker 1: Podcast.
