Thai homeowner haunted by ghostly tokay gecko, forced to flee

[webfact]

 

A homeowner in Surin province has been driven to spend sleepless nights away from her own home due to the ghostly presence of a dead tokay gecko. Jitapha Pothisa, the distressed owner, claims to frequently hear the eerie calls of the phantom lizard but has never actually seen it. The unsettling experience has compelled the 32 year old mother of one to seek refuge elsewhere, away from the haunted property where the incident occurred.

 

The unsettling ordeal began on Monday, May 29, when someone hired by Jitapha inadvertently killed the tokay gecko. Since that fateful day, she claims to have been haunted by the ghostly calls of the reptile during the night, leaving her no choice but to reside at her grandmother’s home temporarily.

 

The house in question is a single-storey structure made of cement, measuring approximately 3 metres in width and 12 metres in length. Jitapha disclosed her long-standing fear of geckos, prompting her to frequently enlist the help of others in capturing and releasing them from her residence. She vividly recalls a huge gecko, as big as an adult’s forearm, that once inhabited her house before mysteriously vanishing.

So you're sayin' he left in the early morning before she got up, and hasn't returned her calls?  Wow!  She is being ghosted!

Gek-ko... Gek-ko... Gek-ko... my place must be haunted too, I hear them every night and never find the buggers.

Does she not realise that there are quite a lot of Geckos in Thailand and the one that she hears is at a nearby house.

They get into my roof space and make  racket from there. Of course I cannot see them.
