Old Capitol Cinema

Old Capitol Cinema

A man relates some of his spooky and frightening experiences while working in the old Capitol Cinema.

I remember as a teenager my friends and I would spend our time at the many cinemas in the late 1970s. Apart from cinema shows, we had a great time chit-chatting among ourselves and of course trying to pick up girls (not very successful....) 

Ah Fook who at that time, was working as an assistant manager at the Capitol cinema at Seremban in Negeri Sembilan. As an assistant manager he also had to work as a cashier at the ticketing booth and as the ticketing attendant when some staff were resigned or quit. Over time he told us of his most spooky and frightening experiences working at the movie house.

In the first incident, 2 girls were in the cinema when halfway through the show when the first girl had to go to the toilet. She asked the other girl to accompany her was so engrossed with the movie and merely grumbled. Both the girls entered the female toilet and the first girl rushed to a cubicle. When she was done she went to a basin to wash her hand when she heard flushing sound from another cubicle in the toilet. She waited patiently for her friend but after 10 minutes, she asked her friend to hurry up at the same time she shoved the door leading to the cubicle.

The cubicle was empty!...puzzled the first girl quickly looked back at the series of basins or sinks ... with the taps with water on full blast! The first girl just screamed and screamed. It was said that the second girl did not follow her friend as she was engrossed with the movie and the first girl was the actually alone!

Old Chinese Beliefs

A girl considered the implications and the truth about the old Chinese Beliefs by the untimely death of her father.

Hui Min’s father passed away suddenly when she was only 12 years old and she left with only her mother and elder siblings. Hui Ming did not follow or believe the traditional Chinese beliefs followed by her relatives. So when she was told that her father death, the 7^th day, her father’s spirit will be coming back for his final visit, she thought it was a complete nonsense besides she was too distract by her father’s death.

On that night, she went to her room to sleep by herself as her older siblings decided on sleeping with their mother. She was startled and woke up when she heard barking from the porch in from her house. It was their dog, Dusty a mongrel breed, that was making all that noise.
