Listen  Watch | [Louisa] | Reto, I don't believe, I don't know if you believe in the existence of spirits but... | | [Reto] | I've never seen any. | | [Louisa] | Well, I've never seen any basically, but then, I totally believe in that, after what happened in 1989 or something, I can't remember. Anyway, what happened was, I worked in that place where, a lot of people say that place is haunted. And then, um, a lot of people have seen things. So then, I was like, no way, I think you're just making up stories. And then, especially in this function room. Hm, a lot of people, um, were like scared to go there because there was rumors about all the ghosts and stuff. So I went there one, one day, during my lunch break. | | [Reto] | Was this in Hong Kong? | | [Louisa] | Yeah it was, it's in Hong Kong but I'm not going to mention where, of course. And um, I purposely went there because I was, just the heck of it you know. I wanted to see really, you know. If it's really the case you know. So then I went there and sat there, I was the only one in the room. And I was eating my lunch, and like a half an hour later. Suddenly, there, there was a door, and behind that door is just like a 20 square foot room that has like a locker room for the employees there. And the door is solid, heavy you know, it's like, the one's that they have here down in the electric gears. So it's like a really heavy door, and then, it's, there's no way that if the wind blows it's going to be like slamming. On, by itself. So, suddenly it starts slamming, like really hard, you know it's like bang, bang, bang. I was like, totally freaked out alright. I couldn't believe what I see. And, like for 3 minutes, I was just, sat there, and like, I didn't do anything. | | [Reto] | Watch the doors move. | | [Louisa] | Yeah, and then for that, then I finally managed to, get up on my feet, and just ran like mad. And I ran downstairs and told what happened, told, told my friends what happened. But then they didn’t believe it I guess. These kind of stories that you have to experience by yourself and then, you’ll believe that. | | [Reto] | Maybe your friends were just playing a trick on you. | | [Louisa] | But then I, I don't think so. I mean, there is not anyone in the locker room so, you know what I mean? | | [Reto] | Did you dare check? | | [Louisa] | I checked before ... | | [Reto] | Well I don't know. I think ghosts in Hong Kong, possibly? (Possibly?) What do you think? | | [Louisa] | I think so, I mean, I believe in the existence of spirits. I don't think they're meant to be good or evil but I believe in spirits. | | [Reto] | Did you ask who it was, that was haunting this place? | | [Louisa] | No, I didn't bother, just never gone up there anymore, you know ... |
