Teban Creep

As you can see from the title, this incident happened back when I was staying at Teban Gardens. I enjoy going for night jogs at Pandan Reservoir and I do it almost every week to take a break from work. Each time I go for a run there, there was almost no one. At most 1 or 2 people jogging and a few cyclist. However, I have never felt scared running alone in the middle of night and find it more therapeutic. Enjoying the cold breeze alone without having any company - there's nothing more I could ask. This changed when I encountered this incident during one of those nights. 

This happened on a Thursday night and my mum was really against the idea of me going for a run at 1 in the morning. I still insisted on going and convinced her that I am already old enough if anything were to happen. When I left my house at 1, My siblings and parents were already in their rooms and probably sound asleep. On that day, I was way more excited than usual as i wanted to try on my new shoes. As usual, I went out and run one round around the reservoir. Halfway while running, I felt a presence following me from the back. I felt the body heat of someone running directly behind me. I never hear any footsteps though. I just felt constricted. I know that it wasn't a good sign. I assumed that I was going to faint or maybe I was unwell instead of assuming it was the supernatural. Since I only had 1 or 2 KM left, I decided to speed up. As I sped up, I still had that feeling of being followed. I decided to quickly glance behind my back and what I saw freaked me out. I saw a black head with hollow eyes peeking out from one of the bushes. It was just half a head peeking out. I didn't think twice and immediately sprint. On the way home, I saw this black head peeking out behind the slide at a playground near my house, behind a bench in one of those huts near my house, behind the walls and the scariest part was it was peeking from inside the lift at my block. I quickly called my mum and told her to open the door for me. My plan was to immediately sprint up the stairs and straight into my house. When I reached at my doorstep, my mum stopped me and said to me to not go in first. She asked me to recite some prayers before going in. When I heard what my mum said, I immediately knew that she knows something. I recite my prayers, went in and took a shower immediately. That night, my mum didn't say anything to me and told me that she will accompany me for the night. 

  The next morning, we opened up the story. My mum said she saw this huge black figure at the corridor just staring at me while I was reciting my prayers. It was as tall as the ceiling and my mum said that it also has hollow eyes. I knew my mum wasn't lying as I saw the exact same thing. My mum scolded me and told me that that thing would have followed me and haunt everyone in the house if I had not recite my prayers before going into my house. I apologised to my mum and promised not to jog at night anymore. From that day onwards, I made it a point to reach home at least before 9pm. Safe to say, I was traumatised.
