Puchong Haunted Apartment

During my bachelorette days, I used to move around and stay in different places as my job required me to be relocated to other areas after a project had been completed. However, I would never have thought that I had been staying in a haunted apartment for almost 2 years...

I moved into the apartment in Bandar Puteri Puchong behind Giant back in 2005. There were 4 of us sharing the rented apartment. I took the middle room and Jen was in the smallest room while the master bedroom was occupied by Anne and her boyfriend, Andy.

For the first few months after moving in, nothing much happened except that during the time when Jen was busy unpacking when she had just newly moved into the apartment, she heard a man called out ‘Woooi!’ from the living room, upon checking there wasn’t anyone in the apartment at that time as all of us had gone out to work. Occasionally things will go missing like car keys, thumb drives, TV remote controls and will reappear after 1 or 2 days, we thought that is was due to our carelessness and did not care much about it.

Then things started to get creepier in the apartment after slightly more than one year of staying there. One particular creepy incident happened during a dinner gathering of friends at our apartment. After a delicious dinner, all of us were having an enjoyable time chit chatting and drinking beer in the living room when I suggested that we play some card games. Knowing that there is a pack of cards in Jen’s room, I went in to get it. When I entered Jen’s room, I saw Jen lying under the blanket and sleeping in a side position such that she faces the wall, I asked her if she was alright and if she would like to join us for a game of cards. Jen did not response and continued sleeping. Thinking that she might have a little too many alcoholic drinks, I did not bother to disturb her and went back to the living room. As I was dealing out the cards, I joking told my friends that Jen was a lousy drinker and had knock off already, everyone stared at me in disbelief and I almost fainted when Jen walked out from the kitchen holding a Carlsberg. I managed to control my emotions as I did not want to frighten them especially Jen and it might be me hallucinating due to having too much to drink, but I was dead sure that there was someone lying on Jen's bed at that time I walked in.

That was not the end of it. Anne who was staying at the master bedroom had the worst experience. One night, when Anne and Andy were fast asleep, Anne experienced a presence as if someone’s body was pressing down on her. Her whole body was immobilized and nothing came out of her mouth when she tried to scream. Worst, Anne feel take something was being inserted into her body, it was not painful but there was a strange feeling. The presence then left and she cried out loud, Andy was shocked to see his girlfriend crying and she related the event to him.

We accompanied Anne to see a Chinese medium the very next day and to our horror, the medium claims that there is a family of 3 ghosts staying in the apartment: a man with a huge tummy, a lady and a small kid. The medium claims it was the man who had spiritually ‘raped’ Anne as she was having low spiritual energy at that time (menstruation period). Then I figure out something: The figure I had seen in Jen’s room must be the ghost of the lady and it must be the ghost child that had been responsible for hiding our personal belongings... A strong chill went down my spine when I thought of it...

The medium gave us something to get rid of the spirits but we never really made use of it as we moved out of the apartment the very same week. We terminated our tenant agreement with the owner citing other reasons; the owner was obviously startled by all of us moving out at once but we did not disclose to him that his apartment was haunted. Frankly we had enough it, as much as we had many great and happy memories, we will never forget those incidents and still talk about it till this day.
