During the first night, we had an activity in groups. The instruction of the proctor of the retreat is to share an unforgettable experience. Groups had a designated or a specific place around the upper floor of the retreat house. Our group was assigned in the fire exit, but we kept the door open. But before the actual activity, the proctor turned the lights off so that we may have a peaceful group sharing. I sat in front of the stairs. I felt really scared because, it was dark and the ambiance was really creepy.
During the second night, I woke up in the middle of the night, between 1 to 3 AM, because I was thirsty. But the water dispenser is along the corridor outside of our room. I just turned on the light in our room to find my mobile phone and to use my flashlight on my way out. I’m not the only one in the room. Because three persons shared one room. As I turn off the light so as to not disturbed the two that were sleeping, I opened the door and I felt really nervous and scared. Not just because it was foggy and dark but because I felt like someone else was awake in the middle of the night with me.
The water dispenser is placed in the intersection of the rooms and the hall/terrace. When I approached the water dispenser, I felt very scared because when I looked to the left, I saw the terrace and, in the right, there was a big window. While I was drinking, I still do not know if it was just my tricky imagination but it was like I saw a shadow by the window. With this, I immediately ran to my back to my room and forced myself back to sleep.
