After a night of rain, the air is so clear and the skies so blue. Something missed for a long time. So off to the barber I went and we exchanged stories. This time, it was ghost stories and encounters with the unknown.
Story no 1
This mother’s day, my barber went with her sister to a local fortune teller to ask about their money luck. Just ahead of them was a family requesting prayers for a deceased loved one. Quite an eerie affair this one. We were talking about male and female ghost you see.
As they were waiting their turn, a young boy about 8 asked them whether they see a man turning in circles a short distance from them. Of course, they saw nothing. Then the boy said that the man is now leaving but standing at the exit. Hm.. there was only one small lane out and they were so frightened when they left fearing bumping into the ghost who might still be there!
Story no 2
When she (my barber is a she) was very young, she was taken seriously ill. Refusing to hospitalize her daughter, her mother took her to a local medium who channeled a goddess. (People those days fear being hospitalised as it seemed those who do so seldom return alive.)
That night she could not sleep. Being very ill she was also very weak. But she saw a resplendent young woman in white robes sitting in meditative posture a short distance from her.
She tried waking up her parents who were sleeping in the same room but they could not be woken. This white robed lady, ghost or goddess she did not know stayed the night. She recovered from her illness, without having to be hospitalized.
Was it a ghost or her guardian angel?
Note
My son says that ghosts are all females and the male ghosts have no time to play tricks on people.

I love ghost stories! And I myself have a few real ghost stories to tell!!
All ghosts are female because male ghosts have no time to play tricks? Haha! I thought all ghosts have lots of time, no? : )
Oh good..you have ghost stories, how about sharing some? make it lots!
ghosts really have nothing to do and the chinese variety float around until some medium summons them, no?
Another observation – ghost are ALWAYS one-ghost-show. lone rangers. Either that or they are unable to relate to fellow ghosts so they choose humans. I mean if I can see one ghost, i should see hordes…ghosts should also hang out at 24h teh tarik stalls too, shouldn’t they?
