My sister is moving down to KL to work. As a result of that, I find myself having to move out of the room or actually the apartment I used to stay in and move into another one right across the hall from it.
This new apartment I’m living in how has been empty for years. I used to live in one of the rooms in this new apartment more than 3 years ago but ever since I moved out it has had only one other tenant who moved out a couple of years ago. As a result the apartment has been empty for two years.
The minute Princess walked into the new room with me she started feeling very depressed and sad and grumpy. I asked her what’s wrong and she shared that there was something not right about the room. She didn’t know how to explain it but she said something about it made her feel uneasy and depressed. She said she thought there might be a spirit living in here.
I calmed her down. I’m a God fearing person. I believe in God and while I believe that there are spirits among us sometimes, call me optimistic but I somehow believe that spirits don’t want to harm us… short of us doing anything evil or something.
Princess then went on to tell me a story her parents had told her before. Her parents used to share a home with 2 other couples. The couple who lived in the master bedroom of the house used to fight a lot. One day they finally moved out of the room and the other couple moved in. The second couple then started having a lot of fights. So her parents always believed that there was something wrong with that room.
Well I hope it isn’t the same for this room. It is after all a room I’ve once lived in for a while.
Princess and I decided to try it out for one night. Hope it all goes well.
Do you guys believe in ghosts or things like that?
