Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

It is believed in the Asian culture that whenever one walks into a sudden freezing cold spot causing hair to stand on end immediately, one encounters a spirit or a ghost.

On a sunny humid mid-afternoon, I was walking from a lecture hall towards the campus library. Trying to avoid getting myself darkened from the strong rays of the sun, I opened my umbrella and walked downhill till I came to a shortcut towards the campus library. The shortcut was shadier with creepers overhead the narrow walkway forming a canopy of foliage shading the walkway. I decided to use the shortcut as I needed to borrow a book quickly before going for another tutorial. As I was traipsing on the narrow unmaintained walkway on my heeled sandals, I seemed to run into something.

I walked into a sudden freezing cold spot and my hair stood on end immediately. It took me less than a minute to walk out of the spot but I had already started to sneeze due to the sudden drastic change of temperature. It didn’t strike me as spooky or eerie so I continued traipsing downhill toward the library.

When I entered the library, I felt cold due to the air-conditioning. That only got me to realize that the cold spot I ran into earlier was much colder and the feeling was indeed different. It suddenly crossed my mind that what I had run into earlier was either a spirit or ghost. I had bumped into it or walked through it.

Fortunately my ‘yang’ level was much higher, thus, it was unable to cause me any disturbance or problem. If a person’s ‘yang’ level was lower than the unknown being’s, problems such as instant unexplainable and incurable illness, sudden death or hysteria would occur. Very often, such incidences would result in death.

After that incident, I learnt to walk the longer and more treaded path instead of shortcuts even though it is under the baking sun. One will never know the level of his ‘yang’ level until he has met with such a ‘being’ and come to realize that he is unscathed that his ‘yang’ level is higher and otherwise.
