This happened recently … friday’s night to be exact and boh .. I’m telling this stuff on friday’s night as well … yeah to spice things up he.he.. OK hold your breath … back to the real thing .. My workmate happened to be involved with the abandonment project of the Ampa-6 living quarter which was made redundant years ago during the earlier Ampa-Fairley rationalisation project.
She took the hassle to travel from another boat where she stayed during that night to witness the lifting of the living quarter and it started as early as 10 pm but still to no avail. Everything seemed to go wrong with the shackles and winches and it wasn’t plain sailing as expected not till it was just after midnight. When it finally came unstuck just after midnight an eerie sound of a woman’s wailing was clearly heard.
More drama to ensue when the living quarter was about to be placed on the barge and suddenly the lifting barge lost total power supply. Even starting up the standby generator set suddenly became unusually difficult and no specific problem was identified to the sudden power loss. Everything was finally restored when it was close to 5am and eventually the lift was safely concluded without further incident.
Others on site are also claiming that they saw a headless apparition whilst taking photos with the living quarter in the background just before the lift. Nevertheless, we never get to see the photos as yet …
