Jus a lil something i thought to share w u guys. (got it via
email)
I was looking for a rental apartment and I spotted an
Executive
>Condominium in The Straits Time Classifieds. It was in Blk38,
#10-44, The
>Floravale, located at Westwood Ave, at Jurong West extension,
near Jalan
>Bahar, it was near to my work place and and the price was
attractive! The
>agent who advertised turned out to be the owner himself (I
found out later
>that it was so because no other agent would want to help him
market the
>unit after showing their first prospective tenants) .So I
arranged a
>viewing with the agent cum owner and rented it on spot because
I was then
>desperately in need of a place to stay.
>
>When I reached the apartment, I saw a BIG Cross on the main
door, I'm a
>catholic so I didn't take it to heart. I viewed the apartment,
I found
>that it was renovated nicely and I was told by the owner that
the he and
>his wife had only stayed for a short while and moved out
because it was
>far away from their work place. The owner looked nice enough, a
gentle
>speaking man, I was in urgent need of a place to stay and it
didn't take
>me long to put a deposit- I was thinking, I'm just renting a
placve, not
>buying and the price was extremely cheap and I could have the
whole 3
>bedroom aparment for myself at an incredible rent, no need to
be fussy.
>
>As the owner had bought the EC from HDB direct, they can't sell
the EC
>yet(5 yrs rule) so they could only rent the place out for now.
I came to
>know from neighbours later that more that 5 families had come
and gone
>during these time. The neighbours also told me the actual
reason the
>owners left was because the family had problems. lots of
financial
>problem. The husband owed the loan shark lots of money, even
the security
>guards had to be instructed to stop debt collectors from coming
to the
>house. The family was breaking up. The husband was seeing
another woman
>and he wanted a divorce. The wife refused and hence they
quarreled
everyday.
>
>So please check with the surrounding neighbours before you rent
or
>purchase a flat which now I learn. Ok! now I will listed all
the
>incidences happened during my two months there.
>
>1) One night after watching TV alone, I think it was about
2.00am and I
>was walking back from the living room past the dining room to
the bedroom
>to sleep, I heard a boy's voice(very clearly) calling my name
once and
>instinctly I turn my head to my left where the voice came from.
My whole
>body went cold when there was nothing there at all! I rent the
whole place
>for my own and there could be no one else in the house!
>
>2) It was in the afternoon, I was washing her hair in the
bedroom toilet.
>As I was sitting on the edge of the bath tub bending forward
holding the
>shower above my head washing my hair, suddenly, I felt that
someone gave
>me a hard push above my head. I was unable to see that time cos
my eyes
>were covered with shampoo, but I could discern a black shadow
in the form
>of a 'human(?)' in front of me. Again, there could be no other
person in
>the house!
>
>3) (This one is real spooky) It was when I met a neighbour next
door. I
>was instructed not to talk with the neighbours cos the owner
had rented
>out the whole unit illegally, so this was the first time I had
talked to
>my neighbour. Then, during our conversation, they mentioned,
"Where is
>your son?" I told them that I am single and I stay alone but
they insisted
>that they saw themself, when I left the main door open while I
was in the
>hall watching TV on the sofa, there was a boy playing next to
me and he
>was about 3 yrs old!!. Both husband & wife saw that!
>
>5) There was one evening at about 11.00pm. I was having my bath
then when
>I turn to face the wall behind me, I got a shock! There was a
black figure
>like a human child on the wall! I was shaking like a leave and
naturally
>used the hot shower spray and spray to that direction. Nothing
happen at
>all so I quickly rushed out.
>
>6) This last one is the final straw I was able to take before I
decided to
>forfeit my deposit and shift out to my friend's place. I forgot
to
>mentioned that all this time during the night when I was
sleeping in my
>locked master bedroom, I always heard noises like someone
twisting my room
>handle and trying to open the door. I did checked many times to
no avail.
>
>One evening after watching TV, I went back to bedroom to sleep.
As I
>entered the masteroom, I got a shock! There was a pair of deep
lighted
>shinning green eyes on my PC screen in the room. The PC was not
even
>switch on!!. Just to make sure it was not a fault, I even pull
out the
>plug from the socket!!. The pair of eyes was still there!! Then
suddenly
>the TV in the living room was switched on and the volume turned
to the
>highest! I just ran out of the house without even locking the
door and
>stayed at the guard house till the next moring!
>
>I moved that morning!! This is a series of true incidences
witnessed by
>me, I have been more diligent in going to church lately after
this.
>
>
>
>The last thing I heard, the owner is trying to sell the EC now
as it's
>already reached the 5 yr occupation period. Take care and take
note of
>the address when hunting for a home!!!
