Tis' the season of giving and lest we forget, tis' also the
season of the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future.
Amidst all them there are others who wander caring less of whatever
the season maybe. Over here we scoured high and low to share with
you five freaky office incidents -- whether you believe it...or
not.
Hitachi Tower
While working on a report that had to be submitted the very next
day, two colleagues heard a knock coming from the direction of the
window.
Clear skies indicated that it wasn't the rain and, at 8pm it was
hard to imagine a pigeon crashing onto the window.
Assuming that it was nothing, they shrugged their shoulders and
soldiered on with their work.
However, it was not too soon before the 'knocking' returned more
furious than the first time.
The disturbing sound proved to be a little too spooky and the
two decided that it was time to punch out and left.
It was the first and last time that such a disturbance was
recorded.
Old School @ Mt Sophia
An office that had been vacant for eight years in Old
School was to be leased by a company.
Before signing the contract, a member of the company suggested
bringing a Fengshui master along on the recce trip to the boss.
The boss agreed; so, the employee, the boss, the Fengshui master
and his daughter-in-law headed down to the office.
After the trip, a very solemn Fengshui master revealed to his
audience that the spirits of a man, a woman, a child and an old man
reside in the premises.
He suggested doing a prayer to ask for their blessing before
commencing any renovation works.
Within the compound of the premises also stands an old tree that
has a yellow ribbon tied around it; it is believed that many
spirits reside around it.
Point to note: None of the employees in that particular office
stay later than 6.20pm.
Shaw Centre - The Gateway
A particular floor on Shaw Centre is reported to be a
gateway of sorts for lost souls, or perhaps a meeting
place.
In a certain office, on a certain floor, an employee and the
boss were gathered in the conference room for a meeting, when the
employee spotted his colleague gesturing at them.
Assuming that it was an offer for a drink, he declined.
A few hours later the employee received a call from the
colleague that had 'offered' her a drink with a spooky tale.
There had been a guest seated beside the duo in the conference
throughout the meeting. The colleague had realised that their guest
had no beverage served to the guest and assumed that the client
would need one hence the gesticulation.
However, when the duo had left in a 'huff' to attend a meeting
without the guest, the colleague realised that it was not a
client!
Imagine her horror when the 'guest' turned around and smiled at
her.
The 'guest' was soon spotted again standing beside the
hand-dryer in the ladies' restroom by another colleague with the
gift of the 'third eye'.
In the same office space there had been the sighting of a
Caucasian man walking through walls!
HDB Office Block @ Jurong St 13
For five days, 'Lynn' kept spotting a man from the corner
of her eye at her desk.
However, the strange visitor would vanish every time she turned
and tried to make eye-contact.
The incident carried on for all five working days (Monday -
Friday), the visitor was nothing more than just an irritation.
However, when she returned on Saturday to clear up some work, a
colleague related to her a similar experience the night before,
about a Chinese man who stood around before disappearing when
someone made eye-contact.
When she asked if 'he' wore a white shirt with his sleeves
rolled up to his elbows, they affirmed it and she told them that he
had been around for a week now!
The Night Safari
Not only are buildings haunted but so is Singapore's famous
Night Safari.
Security guards have seen and heard clapping and cheering from
the old amphitheatre that used to be behind the reception counter
at about 1.30 in the morning.
Another infamous spirit lives in the tree beside the suspension
bridge.
It is believed that many have seen a long-haired lady dressed in
dressed white, however, those who are 'blessed/cursed' with the
gift to see into the netherworld claim that she is dressed in
black.
Point to note: No one has ever seen her face.
