Ghost Stories

Since it is a day before Halloween, it is only right that I share with you a few of my ghost stories.

Jakarta, Indonesia
Most of my stories will be from Jakarta (where I lived for 7 years of my life). Before I go on with my story, you should know that ghosts/spirits in Jakarta is very prevalent. I do not know the exact reason for this, but it could be the fact that there are many witch doctors who use black magic or the fact that almost everywhere you go at one point was a cemetery (since the dead was buried in the back yard in the olden days). Anyways on with the stories...

My experience:
My first experience was when I was about 6th grade. I was at home at my desk doing my homework. My desk faces the wall and right behind me were the stairs that led up to the second floor. As i was doing my homework I suddenly felt a chill that went down my back, I also got the feeling that there was someone behind me. When I turned around, I saw a pair of feet towards the top of the staircase just right before it went out of view. Thinking that it may have been one of my maids, I ran into the kitchen to see who it might have been. To my surprise all of them were there. Two of my maids volunteered to check upstairs and when they came back down, they informed me that no one was up there.

When Push Comes To Shove:
The second incident was experienced by one of my maids at my house. She was upstairs cleaning the bathroom. As she was on her hands and knees cleaning the bathroom floor, she was pushed from behind. When she turned around, she saw a little kid, all dressed in white running away from her towards the stairs. She decided to chase the kid thinking that it was my little brother. When she got to the bottom of the stairs she went into the kitchen and asked my other maids where my little bro ran off to. To her surprise she was told that my brother was not home due to after school activities and no one has gone down those stairs since she went up.

Possessed:
The last story that occurred at my old house that I can remember was when one of my maids was possessed (before this incident, I have heard about many of these instances, but never seen one for myself). My maid was pretty old (in her 60's) and she was taking a nap in her room. All of a sudden, she was yelling out of the top of her lungs. When we went into the room, her face was all wrinkled and she was talking in a deep mans voice. She had her arms crossed and she had her nails digging into her skin as she was pulling downwards. Everything she said was just gibberish. My maids took me away and went to call a witch doctor. When the witch doctor came, he blessed some water and sprayed a little on my possessed maid. Right away, my maid fell back down on the bed and when she woke up she told me that she saw her self from a 3rd person point of view and had no control over herself.

The Factory Bathroom:
This story was told to me by one of my mothers employees. My mom works for a large retail store over in Indonesia. One night, construction workers were inside the store doing renovations. One of the workers needed to use the bathroom. Since this is a retail store he had to be escorted to the bathroom by security. As he was using the urinal, he felt a pebble hit him on the back. He turned his head and found no one there. He decided that he was just imagining it. When he came out of the bathroom, to the security guards surprise, his face was all white. When he was asked what had happened, the construction worker explained that just as he was about to be done, he felt a finger flick his private part.

U.S.A.
Study Group:
This one was told to me by a close friend of mine in the states. According to her, she use to live in an apartment haunted by ghosts. She lived there while she was studying law. One late night a day before her final exams, she was studying in the kitchen. As she was studying from the top of her eyes she saw shadows moving in front of her as well as her fridge door opening and then closing. Being the person that she is, she decided to ignore it and continue studying. She said the scariest part of that night was when she felt someones breathing over the top of her left shoulder. That was the one and only night she experienced it. Lucky for her, she moved out after her exams.

This post is getting long, although I have quite a few more, this is all I will share with everyone today. Happy Halloween everyone.
