I watched a movie during the weekend called Stirs of Echoes with Kevin Bacon, who plays Tom, a blue collar worker married to Maggie and has a son, Jake. The start of the movie has Jake in the bathtub talking to “himself” with his dad in the adjoining bedroom watching him. Fast forward a little, Tom and his wife went for a party ending with Tom being hynoptized my his sister-inlaw. After the hynopsis session, he is able to “see things” on that same night after they came home. It turns out his son too is able to “see” these things. Whereas his son is calm and talks to the “people/person” he sees, Tom is the opposite.
The reason why I bring this up is Corrine told me that Ms J who works for her is also able to see these things (call the third eye) and can listen to what these people are talking about and talks back to them. Ms. J told Corrine she was only 12 years old when she started seeing these “people”. She said she can feel a blast of cool air around her when these folks are around and they do always come as close as possible to the human to suck their warmth. When i hear these, it gave me the creeps down my spine. When I saw the Kevin Bacon movie, there were a few scenes where the dead girl’s spirit was trying to get warm from the hot water in the bathtub.
Also when these folks starts talking all at the same time to her, she said it’s the most annoying where it disturbs her sleep. Creepy, man. Her mom went to the temple to get a “fu” for her and from then, these folks did not disturb her during her sleep, but she said she do see them still. So, I asked Corrine did Ms J really see a lot of these people during the month of the Ghost Festival and she said yes. There are actually a lot of these folks wondering around. This is so eerie even when I’m typing this out. Corrine told me about the chinese term for a person who is capable to see these things but I can’t remember. I remember the old folks always say not to bring little kids out during the month of Ghost Festival and Ms J said it’s true that little kids should not be out a lot. Why I asked Corrine. She said these spirits are always hanging around little kids trying to “suck” the warmth from these little bodies. And when Ms J can feel if a place is not “clean”. Dang! Corrine said after she had listened all these from Ms. J, she dare not go to the bathroom on her own when she was in the restaurant.
These spirits are harmless but they like to “kacau” (disturb) her, Ms J said. So I asked again kacau in what sense? They would talk to her, ask her questions, tickle her, or lay/sit next to her. Her mom and older sis are also has the ability to see these things. But for Ms J, that ability has since ceased which she was glad but then she said according to the lady at the temple her mom frequents said that when Ms J reaches 29+ the “third eye” will open again. Oh my god, after listening to all these, I kept looking around in the restaurant and when at home especially to see if I could feel the “coolness” that Ms. J described.
Scared yet? Sorry, didn’t mean to scare you but I want to write it down so I can remember what Corrine told me.
