SPIRITS IN THE MATERIAL WORLD

I thought I'd never see any of them again. I had my first encounter many years back when I was a kid. It was traumatizing enough. I had to go to a temple after that. And that was it, despite the image being stuck with me till now. Never thought I'd experience such a spine-curling feeling ever again. I was wrong. Dead wrong.

As I returned from work last night around 5 a.m., I pressed for the elevator at the ground floor. It arrives and the door opens exceptionally slow. "That's odd," I thought to myself. Then I notice that what seems to be a man, in one corner of the lift cabin, head bowed with "his" back facing me. After what seems to be an eternity, I asked, "Excuse me, are you coming out?"

Then suddenly, I felt a sudden rush of chill. And I noticed I had vapour mist coming out of my mouth and nose as I breathe. Out of instinct, I glance downwards and noticed that this person had NO FUCKING LEGS!!!!

The next words out of my mouth was "oh fucccccccccccckk!!!!"

I turned towards the flight of stairs and sprinted like as if I had a pack of rabid dogs on my tail, and recited the Lord's Prayer. I know I'm pretty out of physical shape but I miraculously cleared 20 flights of stairs (ten storeys) under two minutes. And strangely, I wasn't out of breath... just keep feeling chills behind my neck.

I reached my house gate, got in and went to the kitchen to grab some rock salt. Don't ask me why I have those in my house. Lets just say it's better to be safe than sorry. I took a handful and started to toss several chucks outside the gate. Call it superstition, call it whatever you want. I'm the one breaking out in cold sweat... not you. I'll do anything just to have peace of mind.

Until now, I have not slept. Very disturbed by the whole incident. Sure, laugh it off. See how you handle it if you were in my shoes.
