Pamela Yip was a
teenage girl when she was still living at the flats. She remembers the eerie feeling
of walking to the lifts, the corridors between the individual units and the haunting
darkness. She used to shrug off when she felt an inhuman touched her hand or
shoulder but simply just walked away.
