The Hungry Ghost Festival started last weekend. Already, we've had our first encounter...
Guorong A & B (my apartment group) went to see the new Bourne movie in a shopping department building. We bought our tickets on the 7th floor, then clamored back into the elevator and hit the button for floor 1. However, instead of going down, the elevator went up. And stopped - on floor 8. The doors rolled open to darkness. A red rope was linked from side to side, blocking the entrance. Someone screamed behind me. Fiona pulled me away from the door to where everyone was huddled in the back of the elevator. Then she dashed forward and hit close on the button panel. The elevator continued rising, this time to a normal department floor. We all breathed a sigh of relief, and then noticed that there wasn't even a button for floor 8...
The curse of the 8th floor continued, except this time is was our doing. Or at least, that of Sarah and I. It was part of a prank within a prank. The first prank was this: Sarah, Charissa "Shizzle", and I brought Guorong B's couch up to the roof. Charissa and I went down to Guorong B to get them up to the roof. On our way back up, the elevator stopped on floor 8 - Fiona & Shizzle both screamed, backing away from the doors. Sarah had gone down the stairs in order to stop the elevator. Laughing, I led them up to the roof, where the couch was waiting for us.
