Apparently. This isn’t the first I heard about it but, it kinda climaxed in the past few weeks. Paranormal shit seems to have increased lately for reasons unknown. I didn’t know about it until last week, when I overheard a conversation between Mojo Jojo and a rookie technician in our lab. Curious, I asked Mojo Jojo about it.
Me : “Dude, I overheard Bala told you he saw something weird?”
Bala is that rookie technician.
Mojo Jojo : “Yeah. He was staying back for overtime one day and he saw one of the chairs moved by itself”
You know, those chairs with wheels? It usually wouldn’t be that surprising if a chair with wheels moved by itself. But when it has stayed static for the past 2 hours and then only it moved by itself, that’s not normal. It must be a fucking ghost or something.
Me : “So how did he react to the situation?”
Mojo Jojo : “He abandoned the lab. And for the record here, he said it was your chair that moved.”
Me : “Wow. Should I feel scared now?”
Mojo Jojo : “His was the third case recently. I encountered something weird myself. Like Bala, I was staying back for overtime when I encountered this strange chilling breeze on my neck, and I saw some shadow movements at the corner of my eyes. Spooky shit”
Me : “So did the ghost caress you or anything?”
I was intending to turn that into an obscene joke, but Mojo Jojo saw it coming…
Mojo Jojo : “It licked my balls and gave me a hand job! Hahahh!”
Me : “Yeah, that’s probably gonna happen tonight”
But the discussion turned serious after that. It appears that Elliot had the worst encounter of all - he actually SAW SOMETHING. According to Mojo Jojo, Elliot’s computer crashed and a green colored dick suddenly stuck out and turkey slapped him blackout. Alright I was just kidding. He actually saw the shadow of a kid roaming around the lab and he felt something entering him through the pores of his skin (I’m not making this up!). Like the rest of the unfortunate guys, he made a quick exit and never came back. All three of them lodged a complain to the manager about their own encounter (as if the manager could issue a ’show cause letter’ to the ghost… ahaks)
Mojo Jojo thinks that these paranormal encounters became more frequent recently due to the demotivated state of mind we’re all in. He concocted a theory that when our morale’s low, we’re letting our guards down and as a result, are more prone to see/encounter these paranormal shit. I don’t know if I could make myself believe that crap but, I was thinking that it has something to do with one’s intellectual level - the less intelligent a person is, the more likely he’s going to see a fucking ghost. So, it’s between Elliot, Mojo Jojo and Bala (Bala is known to have the IQ level of a rat).
But Mojo Jojo could still have a slightest chance of being right. If he’s right, that would mean the petrol hike did not just make our life more difficult with the inflation and stuff but also, made our asses more prone to encounter ghosts and goblins. (life difficult = less money = more overtime = higher risk of seeing a fucking ghost. See my point?)
If that’s the case, I guess the only practical thing left for us to do is claim for the petrol subsidy (through lottery win or something) when we see a ghost… you know, for the unwanted inconvenience of meeting each other. (by hanging around afterdark, we’re probably disrupting their partying schedule - that’s why they’re trying to spook the shit out of us. Hence, it’s only right if we can make a deal with these underworld beings for the benefit of all…)
WTF not fun man.
I’m not religious but fucking scared when it comes to ghosts.
Are you in the former NPI software regression lab next to the store area ?
I was formerly working there, it wasn’t haunted at all.
dr.tan - When you see a ghost, think of the petrol price… you’ll instantly be too overwhelmed with misery to even feel scared…
Romulus - No ler. Mine was the one near the surau, right below the tower…
In a hot day, it will be fun to have some ghosts around to save air-con electricity bill.
There is no such thing as ghosts. They are merely our mind’s imaginations, spawned by irrational fears from failure to reason and use logic when seemingly unexplainable things happen.
As a child I used to be so fucking scared, after a neighbour’s husband got murdered by a loan shark. Those sounds made by animals heard at night were turned into ghost howlings, the rattling gate metal chains was imagined as a ghost banging at the gates, eventhough it was just wind blowing, and the shadows seen, are just the eye lenses spurring through a moment of blur as the intensity of light in the view changes.
There is no such thing as ghosts. Only irrational fears.
Actually, reporting it to the manager is logical.
It is sending a message to the manager that the workers are tired from being overworked and then start hallucinating, the message subconsciously sent by the mind to GO HOME!!
real life sometimes stranger than fiction. Have not encountered such issue during work life. But definitely encountered it in school.
moo_t - Yeah man, that’s a brilliant thought…
Nicevil - Strange thing, some people choose to believe in god, but not in ghosts. I bet you must be a freethinker like me dude…
vincent - Well, those guys wanted overtime badly, but the spooky shit is now holding them off. I don’t give a fuck about overtime though… I get my stuff done on time all the time…
einsamsoldat - I’m scared of being broke more than anything else so, these poltergeists can shove it up their asses if they want to ruin my shit at work.
“the less intelligent a person is, the more likely he’s going to see a fucking ghost. ”
agreed!!
i never see any ghost so far.. nyahahahahahaha! heck, how are you suppose to know whether what you encounter is a ghost when you never really know it?? you maybe think it is just your tired brain messing with your senses.. so, there is no ghost.. 
nor god. what kind of god so sucky and petty, bending on instilling ‘punishments’ and ‘rewards’ on us.. based on our ‘beliefs’ in him/her/it. crap.
Interesting. It’s not easy for people to believe in something they cannot see, feel or touch - that is pretty normal. I personally know a college professor who claims he has the sight or the third eye. Mind you, he is a professor in quantum physics and he does have an explanation for his sights, because it is related to his field. According to him, we should not put it behind us that there are different dimensions co-existing at the same time and some people have the ability to sense the other dimension. As everything is related to energy, he did note that when someone’s morale is down, they tend to be more aware of a different dimension possibly because there is less filtering in their mind or something.
Too complicated for me to grasp as I am not him, but it interests me to no end because I have experienced the paranormal before too. I was doing a bit of spring cleaning on my sofa after my month long trip, wiping away the dusts and crap. And I saw a weird clean cut spot on the center of the sofa, evident by the lack of dust. It was as if someone has sat/was sitting there - as i ran my hands through the clean spot with a piece of wet cloth, i felt a sudden jolt of electricity and all the hair on my back stood up. Never felt anything like that before, it was quite scary considering I couldn’t explain the situation. Definitely a close encounter with the paranormal
