After sending them home however, one of them texts the other saying that she had left her hand sanitizer in her car, only for her friend to remark that hers was still firmly clipped to her purse.   Clip that Genesis mentioned at the start of the episode: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DO-urPDD2b1/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link   If you would like to submit your stories or send Genesis a message, you can head over to @tmgn_podcast on Instagram.   This podcast is brought to you by Mediacorp.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When you live in densely populated cities, you can sometimes catch a glimpse of your neighbour through their window, especially if their buildings are closeby. Other times however, you can also catch a glimpse of your neighbour staring back at you. In this episode, we share a story of a woman and her strange encounter with her neighbour from the balcony across. From her room window, she sees a skinny man with sunglasses standing on his balcony and staring at her, even copying some of the things that she purchases such as bedsheets and potted plants. She didn't think too much about it until one day when she looks over and realizes that he's completely disappeared.

While apps like Google Maps or Waze might be good at getting you to places, it may also sometimes take you to places that you probably shouldn't be at. In the first story, a group of boys decide to test their luck and play with a Ouija board during the middle of the Hungry Ghost Month. After a few nonsensical answers early on, the game starts to get serious when it correctly predicts the presence of someone in another room, and even provides an ominous premonition.  In the second story, a man driving on the way home from a business trip is directed by his app to take a strange route. While he was initially puzzled as it was different from his previous journey, he followed the app thinking it would get him home faster; only to slowly notice that his surroundings were getting quieter and eerier, and that the roadside was entirely paved with grave stones.

In this episode, we dive into one of the most infamous urban legends from Shanghai, Linjia lane no 37.

Later, testimonies from neighbours would uncover people who didn't age or strange symbols being drawn on their windows.
