If you haven't heard, Reddit's NoSleep section is a forum where people share their paranormal experiences.

If you also haven't heard, a number of stories based in Singapore can be found there.

A recent story submitted by fifteenhours-creepy touched on the subject of Gui Da Qiang ("ghost erects wall") once more, which is a phenomenon where you circle around the same spot again and again.

However, fifteenhours-creepy warns of a more sinister, and lesser-known type of Gui Da Qiang, where the spiritual entities target a sleeping individual to trap them in another dimension -- permanently.

The author shared a personal experience, which occurred at Pasir Ris chalet, no less, as well as the necessary steps to escape from the other dimension:

In case you can't see it, here's the excerpt:

Most of you would not be familiar with the term “gui da qiang”. Translated roughly into “ghosts building walls”, this term, coined in Asia, refers to a phenomenon where a person is prevented from leaving a location by ghosts or other spiritual entities.

Here in Singapore, gui da qiang has been well documented in several parts of the country where spiritual activity is known to be particularly high. Some examples include the infamous old and now abandoned Changi Hospital, Pulau Tekong where our soldiers train, and the long stretches of beach along East Coast Park.

A person who is experiencing gui da qiang may not be aware of it at first, as hardly anything shocking or scary would occur at the beginning. However, the person would soon come to realise that something is amiss, especially after a period of time of unchanging landscapes and environment. The person may also experience repeated events. For example, he may encounter the same person or object multiple times along his journey. Depending on the intentions of the particular spiritual entity controlling the experience, a person may be trapped for up to hours at a time, before being released abruptly back into his regular environment.

However, there is another variation of gui da qiang that is much less known and documented. Despite not having a specific term to call it by, this variation of gui da qiang poses a much more sinister threat than its more common counterpart. In this variation, instead of being trapped in another dimension during one’s waking hours, spiritual entities would instead target individuals during their sleep instead. A victim of this variation of gui da qiang would find himself rudely awakened from his slumber by no discernible stimuli. Again, as with the regular form of gui da qiang, nothing would seem amiss at the very beginning. The person would wake up in his seemingly normal environment, wearing the same clothes, and experiencing the same emotions as anyone would upon being abruptly awakened.

However, there are several key differences in the new environment that would hint towards one experiencing gui da qiang. It is incredibly crucial that a person be privy towards whether his awakening has anything to do with the paranormal. Time is of the essence, and the longer one remains in this dimension, the harder it is for one to escape the clutches of the holding paranormal entity, and to return back to one’s own reality.

In this post, I shall relate to you a personal account of my experience with this more sinister gui da qiang, as well as endeavour to share with you information and guidelines on the do’s and don’ts that must be carried out in order to safely and successfully return to one’s rightful dimension. My escape from gui da qiang was solely down to the prior knowledge I had luckily possessed. Without knowing what to do, I highly doubt I would be here now, typing to you.

And if you're now hooked, this story by the same user is pretty good too.

Happy reading.
