BTW, this has nothing to do with army but it is a story that
gives me the creeps. Good luck to all you night owls...
My Story: After reading the story written by LadyLurve about the
sound of slippers in your office in Peninsula Plaza, i recalled a
story. For all of your information, if ever you found yourself
alone and you hear the sound of slippers its best the you dont look
around or look behind. Run as fast as you can. That sound is made
the Pontianak herself.
Let me tell you how I know. For your information, I'm staying in
Choa Chu Kang Ave 5. The Lim Chu Kang & Choa Chu Kang Cemetary
is nearby & theres a "forest" next to my block. It was on a
Friday night, it was 3am. I just returned from one of the clubbing
sessions with friends. I didn't drink as I was driving. Better safe
than sorry. I was feeling tired. Im sure you guys know that if you
come home late you can never find a good parking space in a HDB
flat. You will end up having to park the car right at the top. So
on that day, I parked my car on Level 5.
My flat is on the next block. Once in level 3, I heard the sound of
slippers behind me. As if someone was walking behind me dragging
their slippers away. I didnt turned back. I quicken my pace as I
feel something wasn't right. The hair on my neck stands. The air
was still but there's a sweet smell in the air once a while smells
bad. Smells something like Franjipani tree. I'm being muslim but
somehow I didnt say any quran verses to fight my fear. I pretended
nothing happened. They say these things are like dogs. They will
know if you are afraid. I kept on walking till I reached my block.
All this while I could hear the slippers sound behind. I never even
once look back. This thing followed me all the way.
At the lift, I met my neighbour. He is an elderman about 45. He
told me later he just returned from work. He is policeman. I said
hi but he didn't> say anything. He ran towards me, grabbed me by
the hand and pulled me into the lift. I was too stunned to ask
anything. He asked me, "how are you?" I said, "ok". He asked me,
"You didnt see it?" I said, "See what?" He said, "Never mind, we
talk tomorrow." I know what he is going to tell me. When we reached
15th storey, out of nowhere we could hear dogs howling. We wasted
no time & move in to his house. I slept in his house that
night.
Next morning, I told him before I met him, I heard footsteps
following me. Sound of slipper being dragged. He said he saw a
pontianak standing behind me about 10 metres away. She was smiling.
She must have followed me from the carpark. Then I asked him about
the dogs howling. He said not to worry cos' if u can hear the dogs
that can only mean that the "thing" is far away.
But if the dog is whinning that means the "thing" is nearby. No
more late nights for me.
So people, the next time you hear the sound of dragging slippers,
that could mean pontianak. So please whenever you walk with a
slipper on, please don't drag you feet, sounds like pontianak
walking.
