버스에서 휴대폰에 촬영된 꼬마 귀신

2009년 3월 16일 싱가포르의 신민일보는 신기하게 버스에 나타난 꼬마 귀신을 휴대폰으로 촬영한 사진을 보도했다.

광고업에 종사하는 첸라이푸(40)는 일요일 밤 버스를 타고 집에 가다 버스 안에서 뛰노는 꼬마 귀신을 목격했다.

9세 정도의 어린 소년처럼 보인 꼬마 귀신은 혼잣말을 하며 뛰놀고 소란을 피웠지만 승객들은 꼬마를 전혀 의식하지 못했다.

꼬마가 버스 운전기사에게 '사고가 어디서 났지요?' 라고 물어 보는데 운전기사가 그의 말을 듣지 못하자 귀신은 버스 뒤로 와서 승객들이 모두 몇 명인지 세어 보는 것 같았다.

꼬마 귀신은 차근차근 승객들을 세어 보더니 " 와! 사람들이 꽤 많구나!" 라며 감탄했는데 첸은 귀신이 자신을 똑바로 쳐다보고 두려워하는 것을 느꼈다.

꼬마가 첸에게 다가와 입고 있는 회색 외투를 벗어 주려고 하는 것을 보고 못 본 척 하자 그는 첸이 버스에서 내릴 때 까지 이리저리 뛰놀며 계속 소란을 부렸다.

첸이 제 3의 눈을 통해 처음으로 귀신을 보기 시작한 것은 6살 때 열병을 앓고 나서 부터다. 3년 전까지 귀신들이 하얀 그림자로 보이던 그는 2006년부터 귀신들의 모습이 사람의 형체로 보이기 시작했다.

그는 귀신들 중 일부가 걸어 다닐 때 발꿈치를 세우고 발가락으로 걸어 다닌다며 현재까지 본 귀신들 중 가장 가까이서 본 귀신은 얼굴에 9가지 흉터가 있는 귀신이었다고 말했다.

첸이 촬영한 꼬마 귀신에 대해 싱가포르의 퇴마사 조우데파(33)는 통상적으로 카메라로는 귀신을 선명하게 촬영할 수 없지만 그렇다고 해서 전혀 불가능한 것은 아니라고 말했다.

조우데파는 4살에서 6살 사이 아이들이 보다 귀신을 많이 볼 수 있다고 말하는데 아이들 중 일부가 허공을 향해 말을 하고 특정 지점에 가길 두려워하는 이유가 그 때문이라고 말했다.

The Ghost On The Bus A man claims a recently captured photo on his cell phone shows an image of the ghost of a young boy. Singapore - According to the Chinese daily, Mr Chen Lai Fu, 40, said that he has had the ability to see spirits since he was 6 years old. Mr Chen, who works in advertising, said that when he boarded the bus on Sunday night, he was surprised to find a small boy “playing a fool in the bus”. The boy, whom Mr Chen said looked to be about 9 years old, was playing and talking to himself, but no one on the bus seemed to notice. He was at the front of the bus and even turned to talk to the bus driver, but the driver showed no response, said Mr Chen. At one point, the boy even came to the back of the bus where he was sitting to “count the number people on the bus.” Mr Chen said the boy had asked the driver, “Was there an accident?” but the driver did not respond and did not seem to notice his presence. He then moved to the back of the bus, where he sat beside Mr Chen, and began counting the number of passengers slowly before stopping to exclaim, “wow, so many people!” Apparently, the boy took an interest in Mr Chen once he realized he could see him. “He was wearing a grey jacket and yellow shorts. After he realized I was looking at him, he seemed afraid. However later on, he came back and wanted to play with me. He passed his jacket to me, but I ignored him.” Mr Chen said he was on the bus for seven minutes. Throughout the ride, the boy did not stop playing and according to Mr Chen, “creating a scene.” During the journey, Mr Chen noticed two male passengers, one Chinese the other, Indian, looking over in the boy’s general direction, but they did not do anything. “Till I got down the bus, no one reacted or did anything to stop the boy. I cannot confirm if anyone saw him.” ‘Third Eye’ Developed After High Fever According to Mr Chen, he developed the ability to see spirits after he fell ill with a high fever when he was a child. However, he only saw them as white shadows, until about 2006, when the figures began to take on human shapes and likeness. “Some of these spirits walk on the tips of their toes, while others walk normally. I once saw 9 ‘slashes’ or scars on the face of one spirit, that was the closest and clearest image I ever got,” said Mr Chen. What convinced Mr Chen that he was able to ‘see’ spirits around him, was because his friends around him were never able to see what he saw. Capturing Ghosts On Film Not Impossible According to a Chinese medium and “ghost-catcher”, Mr Zhou De Fa, 33, spirits usually cannot be captured on camera clearly. However, Mr Zhou does not rule out the possibility. Speaking to reporters from Shin Min, he said children of about four to six years of age are more likely to see spirits. Hence, one may find kids speaking to no one in particular, or they may be scared to go to a certain place. In addition to children, the aged, as well as those who have had a bout of high fever, may be able to see spirits, said Mr Zhou.
