Old Chinese Cemetery
A casual trip
to an old cemetery on a Saturday night resulted into a series of spooky disturbing
and surprising turn of events.
Michael Lee
and Andy Tan were best friends and also schoolmates in the early 1990s. They
were also neighbours (actually they lived about 1 mile from each other – ‘close’ when you were young!) Andy called Michael on the telephone
(before the handphone existed!) to find out what’s the plan for the
evening.
Downright
bored and just goofing around, Michael suddenly suggested playing with the
spirit of the coin (something like an Ouija board) at a nearby cemetery that
night. At first Andy was kindna reluctant but was persuaded by Michael’s enthusiasm
and besides it he thinks the spirit might give him some good news about a girl,
Amy, which Andy really likes. In fact Andy was even willing get the board for
the spirit of the coin which was taking a white cardboard and writing numbers
from 1 – 9, alphabeths like A – Z and “Home, No and Yes”.
They both met
at a nearby mamak stall at 11pm and had ‘teh tariks’ before finally proceeding
to the old Chinese Rasah Cemetery. The cemetery was located up a hill as some
Chinese belief that it is good ‘feng shui’.

It was a
dark night with a really cold breeze filled with a bright full moon but with
only a few lamp posts along the way and heard the stray dogs was howling and
the cats were meowing. There was a shed with a roof but with the walls
completely uncovered except for the wooden posts. Luckily the guys had their
flashlights and carried on with putting the paper board onto concrete stool.
