my new housemate

It have been a few weeks, I notice that, there is something wrong with my house (bu16). A couple of weird incidents had happen to me. So I’m thinking of maybe my house got a new housemate.


It started last week, after a tiring walk from Mr. Derrick class, I arrived home. As usual, my throat will scream thirsty, so I went to the kitchen and grab a bottle full of cold bloody coke from the refrigerator. The kitchen was quite dark on that time. It almost 6.30pm, I’m alone there. My peers were busying watching the TV. So I talk to myself ‘I can’t see anything here, maybe I should switch on the light’. But, with sudden, the light turns on itself. I stunned. Holding a glass of coke in my hand; I walk numbly out of the kitchen. I asked my peers do any one of them switch on the light. But their answers were no. so the question is now ‘who switch on the light?’





Secondly, this thing just happens a few minutes before I started writing this. It was 12.48am. I’m in my room with two of my roommates. But aqil was not there. To begin the story, pdah asked me “where’s aqil?” (We used to speak English at home)

I said “maybe he is in the bathroom, because I heard someone coughing in there."

“But there is no one here” he replied.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes,” pdah open the bathroom door, and no one there.

“But just now, I heard…..” I stared at him.

I’m completely out of my mind. What have I heard just now? It’s a real thing? Or I’m just dreaming….. So the conclusion is?

Ok. I want to look this thing in the logical way. I’m in the middle of Bandar utama. Inside in housing area fort called BU6. So rationally, it rather strange to has an uninvited housemate here. But, after I consider a few factors, I had to pin point that there is a possibility to have them here.

1. They are everywhere. Maybe they are just next to you or right behind you. We can’t see them but we can feel them. My ustaz told me that, if you just with sudden thinking of them, for example if you were alone and suddenly you’re started to think that there is something watching you, it’s mean they were there.

2. It depends on the condition of your house. I know it quite illogical, but if you house is untidy and dirty, they are mostly like to hop in. I can’t remember where I got this fact. In my situation, it seem like a connection to it. My kitchen was not so clean and maybe because of that, I got a new housemate.

3. Maybe I’m to kampong minded, who easily influence with superstitious. And I don’t peel thing layer by layers. As a science student I must see this incident in a scientific way. Light switch on itself may because by electrical conductivity in air. Where free mobile ions in air started to depolarize and conduct electricity. (merepek) or for the coughing incident, where air pressure is too compress due to unbalance air flow in my room that cause the constructive interference to occur (loud sound produced).(also merepek)

4. I’m just guessing, a few days before the light incident, at kbu car park near the chemistry lab, my classmate used to make joke about the rumor of people sporting an unusual thing there. So maybe they had said something unpleasant and the consequences is that, maybe that thing follows them up to my house. I don’t want to make any comment of it.


In conclusion, I have no conclusion. So it depends on your interpretation in this matter whether it is true or not.
