My boyfriend is a musician, he works at a nightclub (refer to as Coffee shop in Thai language) of a Four Star hotel.  His gig is to play the piano, sing and turn on a computer karaoke machine according to guest’s requests.  He has been working here for about 2 months now, I on the other hand would come by to hang out about 2 to 3 times since he has been there, so the workers and female singers know me well.

One day my boyfriend had to run a very important errand in another town and couldn’t make it back to work on time, he was scheduled to work 19:00 – 02:00 (7 pm – 2 am).  He called to ask if I could get things ready for him, he might get back around midnight.  So I went in and punched his card for him, turned on the stage lights, checked the stereo system to see if everything is in working order.  We didn’t want to pay someone else to do this, plus the hotel don’t mind and I’ve done this for him before.

That night, many things seemed strange, the atmosphere was somewhat eerie, and there were only a few guests and 2 female singers there. Needless to say, it was very boring and by 10 pm, the computer karaoke machine quit working.  I tried to fix with no success, and they couldn’t continue to sing since I don’t know how to play the piano.  As for the guests, there were only one table left and they finally left shortly after that.  The two female singers left also, let just say that that night we quit working before the end of the shift.  I started to put things away and wait for my boyfriend to pick me up.

After everything was done, I turned off the stage lights, and there were only 3 dim lights left in the nightclub.  I went to sit on the sofa and wait, glanced down at my watch and it was after midnight. I thought that my boyfriend might be on his way, so I got up to go use the restroom that’s located behind the stage.  When I got closer to the lady’s restroom, I froze and couldn’t move, I had goose bumps when I heard someone crying.  The sound came from the last stall of the restroom.

I tried to listen, who could it be that’s crying?  She sounded so hauntingly sad, and to think that all the female singers were gone, and other workers all sat at the lobby, the cooks were dozing off by the counter in front of the kitchen.

So who could it be, and why is she crying here?

I felt uneasy, scared.  It was eerie, so I left without using the restroom.  I walked back toward the sofa, as I was approaching, I heard the same cry coming from that direction.  It was very peculiar, how could that same person have walked faster than me, a minute ago she was still in the restroom.  I looked in the direction of that voice, who could it be? And where is she?

In the shadow, I saw a silhouette of a lady, she was wearing a long white evening dress.  She sat on the sofa, covering her face with her hands and cried as if she was dying.  I inched closer to have a better look, I felt numb and confused by what I saw when she looked up at me.  The light that shines on her face, I thought I was going to have a heart attack, OMG!

I saw a pale face, as white as a sheet of paper, she had dark rims around her eyes, but the tears that ran down her cheeks were red.

Yes, it was the color of blood.  And she was staring at me, she was upset and wanted revenged! I was so scared, I screamed and fell down on the floor, I fainted.

I’m not sure how long time has lapsed, I became conscious again, and was surrounded by the hotel staffs.  My boyfriend was holding Vick tube over my nose trying to revive me back. When I came to my senses, I asked him to take me home and on the way, I didn’t say a word.

After we got home, I told him of what I heard, what I saw, and I swear that I didn’t make anything up, I saw it with my own eyes. My boyfriend said that him and others had seen her before, but never this close encounter like me. Also, no one is afraid of her since the lady in white that I saw was once a singer there.

It was not too long ago that this happened.  There was a male singer that used to work there, he’s good looking and flirtatious.  He was seeing this girl, a very nice girl, and serious about their relationship.  She later found out that he was married and has kids, he broke up with her. She was so upset that she took one sleeping pills too many, and never woke up.

The next day, it finally dawned on me as to why the ghost singer was staring at me like that, that image still haunts me to this day. That night, while I was getting things ready, I found a microphone that had a hand written note on it, “for singer”, and I thought it belonged to my boyfriend and used it.  It quit working, so I put it in my purse to bring it back home for my boyfriend to fix.  Truth is, the microphone belonged to her and she personally bought it herself and the only other person that can use it was that male singer.  I guess when he left, he must have forgot to take the microphone with him.

She must have wanted her microphone back, it was the only thing that she had that was shared with that male singer. The next day my boyfriend and I took the microphone to Wat (Buddhist Temple) and offered it to the monk.  We performed a merit making ceremony for her.

Since that incident, whenever I see a female singer dressed in white, I get goose bumps every time.
