The Strange Incident at a Johor Bahru Airbnb Part 2

Confessed by Ling

Note from Ling: Wa.. last night i couldn't sleep well after sending you the stories. Now i will continue the 2nd half.

A tall shadow stood by her bed looking at her.

So now we both sat on the sofa in the living hall. He told me he didn't know he fell asleep. He was awoken by sounds of many people talking together at the same time.

The voices were not loud or angry, they were just audible but he couldn't make out the words. It was like a marketplace with people talking over each other. The sounds were coming from the bedroom. And he, being in a half-awoken state, forgot that we were in JB, was thinking, "WTF, this woman (me) ask the whole family come to settle our argument or what?!"

So he got up and walked to the bedroom and saw i was asleep, alone in the unlit bedroom. Everything else was the same. The noises stopped. He got back some of his senses and was still figuring out what was going on. He decided to go have a smoke, and searched for a lighter in the kitchen. 

My husband is a logical, no nonsense kind of person and he doesn't have a religion, but he respected all religions. He believed there is a Higher Power but drew the line at believing in the Supernatural.

Every time i told him about supernatural stuff, he wouldn't get too keen with the conversation with me as he feels there is no proof for him to believe. He is not the emotional sensitive sort either; just logic and science.

Coming back to the lighting of cigarette in the kitchen bit: he was still thinking about the noises when suddenly he heard the voices again. This time he knew he was wide awake and that he was sure what he had heard. 

He paused briefly before walking towards the bedroom to check out on me. Again the noises stopped and he found me still sleeping. 

Now he was having doubts about his own sanity. He did not drink. He was not on medication. Finding no logic or explanation, he shrugged off the experience and went to the toilet and to do some business. He always likes to do some thinking during his businesses.

He closed the door and sat down on the toilet bowl. Then the noises started again. As the toilet door and the bedroom door was facing each other. He was able to open the door while sitting down and look directly into the room. He did just that.

He cant recall whether the noises stopped this time or at which moment, but he saw a dark figure peering down at me sleeping and then disappeared in blink of an eye. He said the dark figure was darker than the dark room and he can almost make out a humanly shape. That is when he came out of the toilet to wake me up (his business had not even started).

He said the feel of wanting to get me out of the room was stronger than his fear so he was not afraid.

We ended up talking about this for a while in the living room with the TV volume on louder so we wont feel like we were alone.. hahaha.. i keep asking him all the possibilities.. like are you sure its not the neighbors or something? Probably its from the balcony? Or the tv? Or people along the corridor outside?

But it was the wee hours, the building is new and we had no neighbours. The TV was off.

We decided to grab the pillows and blanket from the room and sleep on the sofa with the TV on.

We stayed up until about 7am until the first ray of sunlight shone in and then went back to sleep in the bedroom. We managed to get a few hours sleep and checked out at 11am.

Note from Ling: 
​Whats your take, Eugene? My dream of 7-8 people talking to me matches the voices of the crowd he heard. I didn't told him my dream until after he relate the whole incident to me! I didn't feel threatened or fear in the dream. Who are they? And the single dark figure?

It has been a year plus now since it happened.. some times i still think about it, but i didn't chase for an answer.
