Think along the lines of Grimms\u2019 Fairy Tales. At times I\u2019d let my imagination get the best of me: I wouldn\u2019t sleep in the dark for fear of what might come after me once the lights turned off. But even as I devoured books like Russell Lee\u2019s True Singapore Ghost Stories (every Singaporean child\u2019s first introduction to <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/true-singapore-ghost-stories-from-the-honeycombers-team\/\">spooky stories<\/a>), I never imagined I\u2019d have one (or a few) of my own to tell.

But there were plenty of minute occurrences over a few years. At first, they were negligible.<\/p>\n<p>My younger brother heard chairs in the dining room moving in the middle of the night. There was the sound of pacing coming from the empty bedroom next to mine. A battery-operated toy cat meowed on its own even when it was turned off. Sometimes, while lying down, I\u2019d feel the weight of something shift at the foot of my bed, as if someone got up after a time of sitting down.<\/p>\n<p>Once, I felt something large crawl under my mattress, waking me in the process. My parents came in and checked under my bed, but didn\u2019t find anything. My dad would often say, \u201cIt\u2019s just a change in the air pressure.\u201d As scared as I was of this &#8220;ghost&#8221;, I attributed these events to my wild imagination, too.<\/p>\n<h3>The one with the music box<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_261952\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-261952\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-261952 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/ghost-spooky-stories-Ummu-via-Pexels-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"i was living with a ghost in my house the music box played on its own\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/ghost-spooky-stories-Ummu-via-Pexels-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/ghost-spooky-stories-Ummu-via-Pexels-1400x1000.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/ghost-spooky-stories-Ummu-via-Pexels-768x548.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/ghost-spooky-stories-Ummu-via-Pexels-1536x1097.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/ghost-spooky-stories-Ummu-via-Pexels.jpg 1563w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-261952\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Ummu via Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>All these moments eventually culminated in one event that made my skin crawl. I used to have this carousel-shaped music box from an ex-boyfriend. Music boxes have always given me the heebie-jeebies. So I never used it for years, aside from when I first received it as a gift.<\/p>\n<p>One night, as I was taking a bath, the music box began to play its tune. It only lasted a couple of seconds, but I stood in the bathroom, shower head in hand and frozen in fear. A dozen thoughts ran through my head: was it the ghost? Or did someone come up to my room and touch the box? I listened carefully and heard no one exiting my room or going down the stairs \u2013 sounds that would&#8217;ve been fairly obvious, as the walls in my house are paper thin.<\/p>\n<p>I collected myself, got changed and went to my brother\u2019s room so I wouldn\u2019t be alone. After a while, my brother, annoyed by my presence as always, asked me what I was doing there. I told him about the music box and thought he might laugh.<\/p>\n<p>But instead, he said, \u201cOh, actually when I was showering just now, I felt a hand squeeze my shoulder.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We laughed nervously. The night ended with our mum coming into the room to pray for us, and our dad chiding us for scaring her with our spooky stories. I don\u2019t think I slept in my room that night.<\/p>\n<h3>When our ghost moved out<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_261953\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-261953\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-261953 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/ghost-spooky-stories-Cottonbro-via-Pexels-2-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"i was living with a ghost in my house\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/ghost-spooky-stories-Cottonbro-via-Pexels-2-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/ghost-spooky-stories-Cottonbro-via-Pexels-2-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/ghost-spooky-stories-Cottonbro-via-Pexels-2.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-261953\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Cottonbro via Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>These unexplainable experiences went on for years. I almost felt accustomed to living with a ghost. But in mid-2019, our family temporarily moved out while our home underwent renovations. That was the first time in 16 years we\u2019d done a deep cleaning of the house. Plenty of old belongings, souvenirs, clothes and furniture were thrown out, sold or given away.<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t experience anything odd during our time in the temporary accommodation. To my surprise, when we returned to our newly-renovated home after three months, the ghost didn\u2019t come with us.<\/p>\n<p>I expected it to continue its less-than-welcome antics, but there was only silence. Perhaps we\u2019d tossed it out along with the items we got rid of. Or maybe it finally got bored of us. I wasn\u2019t about to complain, since I could now finally sleep in peace at night.<\/p>\n<h3>Lessons on letting go<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_261954\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-261954\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-261954 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/ghost-spooky-stories-Tara-Winstead-via-Pexels-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"i was living with a ghost in my house\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/ghost-spooky-stories-Tara-Winstead-via-Pexels-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/ghost-spooky-stories-Tara-Winstead-via-Pexels-scaled.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/ghost-spooky-stories-Tara-Winstead-via-Pexels-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/ghost-spooky-stories-Tara-Winstead-via-Pexels-1536x1097.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/ghost-spooky-stories-Tara-Winstead-via-Pexels-2048x1463.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-261954\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Tara Winstead via Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In the last three years, I\u2019ve thought of this ghost on occasion. Especially around <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/halloween-in-singapore\/\">Halloween<\/a> or the <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/hungry-ghost-festival-singapore\/\">Hungry Ghost Festival<\/a>, when everyone talks about having paranormal experiences.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is, I don\u2019t know if this entity was indeed real, or if it was all just a byproduct of my active imagination. I\u2019ve come to the conclusion that I\u2019ll never know \u2013 and that\u2019s okay. For me, it\u2019s a great analogy of how important it is to let go and accept there are some things in life I won\u2019t receive closure on.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, we hold on to bad experiences, toxic relationships, broken friendships and unhappy memories. They might not be ghosts, but these things still haunt us. I\u2019ve wished I could change the past. I\u2019ve spent nights thinking of people who have wronged me, or those I may have unknowingly wronged in return.<\/p>\n<p>But just like how my family\u2019s renovations pushed out a pestering poltergeist, perhaps it&#8217;s good for us to look back on our lives and throw away the things that no longer serve us. Whether that\u2019s a person, a memory or a regret. Maybe that\u2019s all we need to find a little peace.<\/p>\n<p>Do I miss living with a ghost? Absolutely not. But at least I walked away with a life lesson to ponder over \u2013 and some spooky stories to tell when the sun goes down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I was little, I loved reading and listening to bedtime stories.
