Too Many Ghosts Nowadays

Some places are abandoned for a reason, others are abandoned for reasons that we may never know.

 

In the first story, a boy is playing with his friends in an open field when it starts to rain heavily out of the sudden. Since his home is furthest, he decides to take shelter in a nearby abandoned shrine before returning home; except he never managed to make it out.

 

In the second story, a couple take a vacation and stay in one of those hotels that look nicer on the advertisements that it actually did. When they were trying to get to sleep, they feel the distinct weight of something on the edge of their bed, followed shortly by a thump on the floor right beside them.

Some experiences are so creepy that it will leave you questioning if you are actually dreaming, or if you have just died.

 

In the first story, a couple of friends are having fun driving about at night when they miss a stop sign and are met with a thick wall of trees. And for a few moments, all goes black, the engine dies, the forest is silent, and the world seems to stand still, leading one of them to ask "did we just die?"

 

In the second story, a couple of friends go out for lunch with their kids after picking them up from school. After sending them home however, one of them texts the other saying that she had left her hand sanitizer in her car, only for her friend to remark that hers was still firmly clipped to her purse.

Have you experienced something that you weren't meant to see? Or witness the world around you behave in an impossibly strange manner? What if you were experiencing a glitch in the matrix?

In the first story, we recount the strange findings of a group of construction workers from China, who uncover a strange looking box from one of their dig sites. But when they pry open the box, they are bewildered to find the corpse of a man, preserved as if he had just passed the day before.

In the second story, a friend recounts a bizarre experience from school when during recess, they step out of the bathroom only to find that the whole world had paused. People, objects, sounds, even the air seemed to stand still for a moment, before everything resumed as if nothing had happened.

Many of us can be curious, especially when strange things happen around us. But curiosity itself can be dangerous, just as much as how some secrets should be left untouched.

In the first story, a man arrives on his first day at work at a factory and is brought to his accommodation. At night however, he starts to hear and see strange things in his room, and starts to question what is really going on. But when tries to bring this up with his coworkers, they all just tell him to keep quiet for his own good.

In the second story, a man is walking when he sees a crisp hundred dollar bill lying on the road. He eagerly goes to pick it up, only to be tragically struck by a car. However, when witnesses around him pry his hands open, they only see that he is holding a hell note in his hand.

When you live in densely populated cities, you can sometimes catch a glimpse of your neighbour through their window, especially if their buildings are closeby. Other times however, you can also catch a glimpse of your neighbour staring back at you.

In this episode, we share a story of a woman and her strange encounter with her neighbour from the balcony across. From her room window, she sees a skinny man with sunglasses standing on his balcony and staring at her, even copying some of the things that she purchases such as bedsheets and potted plants. She didn't think too much about it until one day when she looks over and realizes that he's completely disappeared.

Helping out others is a virtue, but you should always be mindful of what you offer, especially if there's something trying to pay you back.

In this episode, a listener shares a story about a man and his friend who come across a bar that they love. But during their visits, they keep seeing a strange lady standing outside and smoking incessantly, even if the freezing winter cold. And on one occasion, they notice the same lady struggling with her lighter, and offer theirs as a small gesture of kindness. One that the lady would do everything in her power to try and pay back.

While apps like Google Maps or Waze might be good at getting you to places, it may also sometimes take you to places that you probably shouldn't be at.

In the first story, a group of boys decide to test their luck and play with a Ouija board during the middle of the Hungry Ghost Month. After a few nonsensical answers early on, the game starts to get serious when it correctly predicts the presence of someone in another room, and even provides an ominous premonition. 

In the second story, a man driving on the way home from a business trip is directed by his app to take a strange route. While he was initially puzzled as it was different from his previous journey, he followed the app thinking it would get him home faster; only to slowly notice that his surroundings were getting quieter and eerier, and that the roadside was entirely paved with grave stones.
