Yesterday went back to Tekong for guard duty. Slack a while. Eat dinner. Then report for duty. I am taking the 2nd and the 5th shift. There were a total of 6th shift.
While I'm resting at the guard room. There was a warrant officer with us. He told us to go to the prayer room which was just beside our guard room to pray. There were actually a lot of wandering spirits around in Tekong. I also heard some stories from my sergeants.
During the 2nd shift, I feel alright. I am talking with my partner.
But during the 5th shift, I felt eerie. Because it was to 2.30am. I am talking with my partner. Guess what I saw? ...... ...... ...... ...... ......
A WOMAN RED FINGERNAIL on the floor. I ignore it. I continue talking to my partner. I can also hear woman laughter. I also ignore it.
But nothing scary happen. My officer always tell us not to disturb them and they will not disturb you.
Here are some stories that I am going to share with my readers.
1) There is legend of an old woman and her granddaughter wandering in Tekong. They were the sales girls of the island. My sergeants tell us to carry 1 dollar coins with us if we want to go toilet in the middle of the night. Just in case that they appear, they will want to sell curry puffs to you. Just pass them the 1 dollar and run.
2) This is also the same as 1). Just that the story will be different. If you woke up in the middle of the night, and saw the little girl sitting on the cupboard. Do not panic. The little girl will ask her grandma why are all these army man sleeping. The grandma will reply because they were tired from training. Then the little girl will answer why this man here is not sleeping? (refering to you) The little girl will then want you to play with her. If you reject, the next morning you will wake up seeing her grandma on the ceiling staring at you. This is what the legend says.
3) For those doing guard duty, if they were unlucky, they will see a woman in red siting on the jacob ladder for the SOC (Standard Obstacle Course) combing her hair.
4) When doing area cleaning, you will sometime find long strands of hair. Those hairs were woman's hair.
5) Only for my company, platoon 3 was considered haunted. Because they can find long woman's fingernails during their area cleaning.
6) There used to be a rule under the TSR (Training Safety Regulation) that there will not be any night training on thursday. Because many years back, there was 1 recruit missing during the field camp. And the next morning, his body was found and his internal organs was displayed beside his body. But now, this rule has be cancel. Night training will still resume on thursday.
Well, there were a lot more stories. Some may be true, some may be fake. It's up to you to believe. Some were remain as mystery till now.
That's all folks!
