ok here's the brief background. My blk, Block B has been roped in to collaborate with neighbour Block A to organise a fright night for the whole of Sheares hall for Halloween on the 31st of Oct.
Sean from Blk A and I were tasked with the station located in Blk B Lounge (where I lost my bag) After brainstorming, we decided to go with a TV's theme. Meaning, it'll be totally dark, with no "ghosts" and only 3 separate TVs in the lounge. When you first enter the door, you will see a TV right in front of you, as shown in the photo below with self-drawn illustrations =)
There's a digicam on top of TV1, connected directly to it, to show a live feed on the TV screen. The objective is to let the participants see themselves coming in on the TV.
TV2 is a wall mounted TV, with just jumping static showing on the screen.
TV3 is the main highlight, located just before the exit. It will show a clip (DVD player) of someone crawling out from behind the fridge, towards the TV3. It was self filmed and Sean was the "ghost" haha.. Half way through the clip, a bloody female face will suddenly be splashed on the TV, accompanied with a loud blood curdling scream, piercing through the otherwise dead-silent lounge.
Then, the participants will leave through the door and see someone hiding under the table just beside the door.
So basically that's the idea for fright night.
Sunday night
However, during the blk comm meeting after the rehearsal where the 2 Block heads and 2 vices went through the trail themselves...
It was our turn (Sean and I) to present our lounge idea again to the comm. Then Benjy, Blk A's head, commented that the video recording for TV1 was a great idea. We were puzzled. We then explained that TV1 was based entirely just on a digicam and it was a live feed. We even showed them.
At this point Benjy and his vice, Yilian looked disturbed. Then Yilian said, "Erm.. but then how come we saw another pair of legs on the TV when we came in sitting on that table?" Benjy then said he saw the legs too. Blubber and Seah, from Blk B, who came in with them asked if it was their legs they saw, cuz they came in together. But Benjy and yilian was pretty sure it was't, cuz the legs was clearly of someone sitting, and it was off the ground. (see pic)
That was the reason why they naturally assumed it was a video recording. And since it was dark, and due to the angle of the camera, only the legs were shown. But it was clear no one was there or they'd have seen him/her beside them.
From the above photo, it is approx. what you see on TV1 when you first step in. The legs on the left represent your legs when you open the door. The legs on the right was what they saw.
The blk comms couldn't figure out what might have happened, and we hastily decided to drop the subject and move on.
The next day (Monday)
Late that night, when I entered the lounge, where a group of people was playing mahjong, Yingying came up to me, my WANTED poster in one hand, and the all-too-familiar olive green crumpler in another. I was darn happy to see it, and immediately asked how she found it. She said she was just trying to pull out the IKEA stool from under the table to sit, and hey! the bag was stuffed right behind the stool under the table.
which I was pretty sure I checked, and during the fright night moving of furniture I must've seen it. Oh well, maybe someone did stuff it there. But who would do such a thing? Btw everything was in there as it was when it went missing. Even if it was a prank, a 1 week long absence of my bag was not funny at all.
On Sunday night, Sean lost the webcam he left in the lounge too.
Another note of coincidence:
The bag was found stuffed right under where the ghostly legs appeared.
