Encounter with a man that smelled like jasmine flowers
One rider shared about an eerie encounter he had while doing his usual deliveries at night.
“It was roughly around 1:30am in the morning, and I had an order from Paya Lebar to Eunos.
I had collected my order and made my way to the customer's house. To get there, I had to cycle through this dark, narrow and creepy alleyway.
I was just casually cycling when all of a sudden, I saw an elderly Chinese uncle standing at the side of the road, with an overpowering scent of jasmine flowers.
He was wearing a huge gold chain and a gold Rolex watch, and looked well-groomed and wealthy.”
Reaching out to the rider, the man asked:
“Ah boy, what's the time right now and where am I at?”
The rider continued:
“I noticed that he had asked me about the time despite wearing a watch. However, I didn’t question him, and answered his questions.
Afterwards, the man thanked the rider and added:
“You’re very kind. If anyone tries speaking to you later, don’t talk to them.”
The rider recalled that he didn’t think much of the encounter at the time, and continued cycling down the dark and narrow alley.
Around 400 metres down the road, the rider saw the man again.
“This was the exact man I had spoken to just a while ago. There was literally no way he could’ve gotten there before me, as it was a one-way road. I was cycling at a speed of approximately 10km/h, and he was on foot,” the rider said.
The man stopped the rider again, and asked if he had spoken to anyone on his way down.
“I told him I hadn’t, and he nodded, telling me to stay safe again. I thanked him and cycled off. It was a really odd experience, and I know that whatever happened that night wasn’t normal.”
