The Pontianak

The Pontianak, also known as Kuntilanak, is a legendary female ghost or spirit in Southeast Asian folklore, particularly in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. The Pontianak is often depicted as a vengeful ghost of a woman who died during childbirth or while pregnant. This spectral figure is believed to have the ability to transform into a beautiful woman to attract and deceive men, only to reveal her true, horrifying form later.

Here are some key characteristics and beliefs associated with the Pontianak:

Appearance: In its beautiful form, the Pontianak appears as an attractive woman with long black hair, often wearing a white dress. However, her true form is said to be much more terrifying, with pale skin, sharp claws, and a hideous appearance.

Vengeance: The Pontianak is thought to seek revenge for its tragic death by targeting men, especially those who are unfaithful or disrespectful to women. It is said that the ghost is particularly drawn to pregnant women and infants.

Sounds and Scents: The presence of a Pontianak is often accompanied by distinct sounds or scents, such as the fragrance of frangipani flowers. Some versions of the legend state that the Pontianak can emit high-pitched cries or laughter to signal its proximity.

Vulnerabilities: Traditional beliefs suggest that the Pontianak can be repelled or kept away through various means, such as placing thorns or nails at the doorstep, hanging garlic or lime leaves, or using protective charms and amulets.

Precautions: To avoid encountering a Pontianak, people may avoid being outside at night, especially near trees, forests, or secluded areas. Pregnant women are often advised to stay indoors during certain hours to avoid the ghost's attention.

The Pontianak legend has been a popular and enduring part of Southeast Asian culture, with variations in different regions. It has also inspired numerous movies, TV shows, and other media that explore the themes of horror and the supernatural. While the belief in Pontianak ghosts is deeply rooted in folklore, it's important to note that these stories are part of cultural traditions and may not be accepted as factual by everyone in modern times.

Old Changi Hospital

This story took place during my army days couple of years back.

12 of us from the same camp shared the same interest in “exploring” haunted places and “looking” for ghosts. We went to places such as Lim Chu Kang Chinese cemetery and Mount Pleasant cemetery in the dead of night for that adrenaline rush. Fortunately I did not encounter anything strange, till we decided to explore the Old Changi Hospital.

The Old Changi Hospital has since been renovated into a spanking new hospital. However, before that it was just an old, abandoned, dirty and run-down building. For those who have been there, you would know what I mean.

This group of friends and I attended a camp mate’s birthday party at a chalet nearby and someone suggested that we check out Old Changi Hospital since we were already there. We left the party at around 11pm and proceeded to our destination.

When we reached there, we followed one of my friends who had been there before. We entered through a side gate leading to a small entrance of the building. When we reached the first staircase landing, that friend suggested that we go up to the highest level and walk along the corridors to the other end of the building. We followed the plan. While we were walking along the corridors, many of us strayed into some of the rooms to peek at its decay. Thus we did not exactly walk in an orderly manner with people falling behind and overtaking me constantly. There were about 17 or 18 of us since some friends had brought their girlfriends along, and I did not really remember who were around me. When you are nervous and scared you do not really pay attention to these details.

Eventually we reached the end of the corridor and I heard my friend’s instruction to take the stairs to the first floor. Those in the front started to descend the stairs and I followed suit. I think I was one of the few who were at the back of the group thus I just descended without paying attention to the level. I thought “Just follow the person in front of me and I should exit at the correct level.” For those who have been there, you would know that the stairs lead all the way from the top level down to the basement levels.

I just continued going down level after level, and between each level you had to go down 2 flights of stairs; after descending the first you had to make a u-turn and descend another before reaching the next level.

I saw someone in front of me in a white t-shirt going down the stairs, thus I followed. As I descended the first flight of stairs and was about to u-turn to go down the next, my friends called out to me. I looked up and saw all of them standing at the top. I turned to look at which level I was going and it clearly stated B1. “Where are you going?” asked one of my friends. I did not say anything and just climbed up the stairs to meet with them before exiting the building. I did not mention anything about it as the old folks always said that if you were to encounter something strange or supernatural, do not talk about it immediately at the location. Just act like you do not know anything. So the question till plagues me till today…

Who was the person I was following down to B1?

Lady in Black

I drove past Lim Chu Kang cemetery at 2am in the morning on the long straight road which is a runway 14 years ago.

We were going for seafood at Choa Chu Kang with my friend, his girlfriend and younger sister at about 10+ at night. Wanted to test his then new Hyundai Getz and took the alternative runaway route down to Neo Tiew abandoned estate and followed the small route all the way to Kranji Dam/Reservoir.

Drove back the same way and when I was driving along 4 SIR and opposite the Chinese cemetery along the alternative runway, I thought I saw a old woman dressed in black holding the hand of a small meimei in also dressed in black standing on the chevrons in the middle of the wide road. Their backs were facing us and they were gazing towards the Chinese cemetery.

Asked the rest in the car if they had seen what I saw.My friend told me to shut up and keep on driving. My younger sis and his girlfriend were quite frightened and kept very quiet.

I suddenly horned at them and my friend(owner of the car) chua sai and asked me why I did that. I told him that I am going to stop by the roadside and get out to confront them. I felt very angry at being disturbed by them.

My friend was pissed and told me that he was going to end our friendship there and then if I did that. Instructed me to drive all the way home to Bukit Merah and just shut up.

Till this day, my friend still says that he did not see anything at night whenever I asked him about this incident.

Pocong Shadow

This is my first of sharing my scary experience that I have gone through years back. There are few and here’s one of it. I have a Malay neighbor aunt who good relationship for years with my family since I’m young age. Lots exchanges in helping, delicious dish and out traveling goes before end of this story. She is a very kind aunt to us and take care me and my brother when our parents is not around. As long days after that she fall sick that cause her two feet rotten badly as burned in a fire and unable to walk. She was just on her resting chair and having visitors to her house frequently. A day after those medical arrangement she was failed to survive and reach up to death by just one leg after the surgery.

After goes to my last seeing her on the middle of the house with the white wrapped cloth from top head to feet and a tie of the ending cloth on her head. She was in pale yellowish face and two teeth heading out. Next day night mum told me not to open doors if anyone is there and just answers them until mum back from her bath. Unfortunately I was watching movie at the hall and i heard a adult boy’s voice calling my mum aunty few calls of opening the door saying I’m Boboy here.(Malay Translate)’Aunty ..buka pintu Boboy ni ..’since she have two sons and usually all of them come backwards to house for the nearby way.

I replied him wait a while I’m coming.(Malay Translate)’Kejap ..i datang ni’. I totally forgot my mum’s aware sentence and took of the door key to open the gate before the door. For the lucky gap I’m not really use to open the back door since the lock having some improper opening and closed up. At the moment I’m trying to open the lock I suddenly saw a bright flash of Pochong’s shadow placing its face on the window of the kitchen next to the door which I’m trying to unlock!My heart beats just reach top to my pulse and i just left the key by running away to hall and cover my face with my two hands My mum came out of bath and i told her what happened to myself.

Office Encounters

I remember I was working in an office near the central district, or rather to be more specific, Orchard area. I was then just a temp staff. I was always the typical skeptical person, always disbelieving in spirits/ghouls/gods and any other stuff which I’ve considered as supersition. But after the encounter, I know otherwise. Having to rush my report one day, I worked till 7pm or so. I remember it was a Friday then, and all my colleagues have left earlier, at 5.30pm. It was only me and another Indian colleague left in the whole office. Having slaved throughout the whole day, I was naturally tired and went to the office pantry for a hot drink of coffee.

As I was walking towards the pantry(we would always have to walk through a narrow pathway which leads to the pantry that is located at the very near of the whole office), I felt uneasy(which I don’t know why, I just felt uncomfortable and out of place there and then). Then it happened. I felt a tap on my shoulder. Naturally, I turned back and saw no one. Initially, I thought my colleague was playing a trick on me but realize that it’s impossible because the pathway was narrow and he would have no place to hide except to run away but that would require extremely fast speed and light footing. I dismissed it as shoulder cramps as I was typing out the report the whole day.

Thus, I continued my quest for hot coffee and when I was going out of the pantry, I distinctly felt another tap on my shoulder. It was harder and almost like a harder slap then. I turned back angrily(thinking it was a prank) but saw no one. And there was no one in the pantry room too! With shivers running down my spine, I dropped the cup of coffee I was holding on and ran out. Having reached my desk, I saw my Indian colleague faxing out some documents and he was halfway thru the thick stack. I knew it couldn’t be him and turned really pale upon that realization. He noticed it and asked me why.

I told him the whole story and he smiled knowingly. I asked him why and he told me that I must have met up with the “pantry babe”. It appears that the whole office already knew of this being that exists there. My colleague even told me that the building’s security guard can see her during night duty. One of the security guard, being a pious Hindu, could actually see her and even had conversations with her regularly. The being was a female ghost whom simply refuses to leave that place and it appears that the office pantry was her favourite spot. Another thing was that they actually claimed that the “lady” was “chio”, which had earned her the title of the “pantry babe”.

But I still can’t understand why she tapped/slapped me on my shoulders that fateful evening. I didn’t provoke her. However, this incident had thought me to respect the unknown, for even though we can’t prove that they exist, neither can we prove that they don’t. I’m now a Buddhist believer.

Haunted Apartment

This happened many years ago.

I already put this episode behind me and tried my best to forget it, sometimes when I think back i still get the shivers. When i read some ghost stories, i suddenly feel a chilly wind blow into my room.

Many years back i was staying alone, back then i was using iphone 3gs.
As u all know, when you leave the iphone there, after a while it will auto lock and show the unlock screen..

I remember it was an afternoon and the weather was bright and sunny, everything was as per normal. I went to take a bath and when i came out, from the distance of the kitchen to the living room, i saw the screen of the iphone switch pages(i had 3 pages of apps) and when i walked near it, it suddenly changed to the unlock screen.

I didn’t sense anything at first, i just thought OK maybe still buggy or the battery something wrong. I brushed it aside. Be reminded i was alone and also i had the password lock.

Many days later, my friend suddenly called me and ask what’s the matter. I told him it was him calling and ask me what’s up? He said he saw my miss call. I say i never la… Then he say okok nvm anyway.

I checked my call history, confirmed never call him. Then whatsapp message came in, he show me his call history and indeed there was a miss call from my number, wtf i thought, he kidding me is it.

I replied saying maybe my phone got problem paiseh. Days went by and i finally went to the singtel to ask about it they gave me the wtf look and thought i was trolling.

The problems started to get worse….

Fast forward to few weeks later.

I was messing with some stuff at home cause i was on leave and when i faced a problem with my campus login(i was studying Thai language at Thammasat uni at that time) i looked for my phone to call the school.

I tried to find my phone for 5 mins, totally cant find.. I was in a fairly small apt and in the end i called myself to see where the ringing tone came from.

When i heard the direction of the ring tone. My whole body the hair all stand and i froze.

The ring tone came from the storeroom.. And the problem is i already never enter the storeroom for some time(few months and only when i wanna come back Singapore i go in and take luggage) and to make it worse, the storeroom is locked with a number lock.

I didn’t know what to do honestly, first thing i did was to look around the house to see if got other people , for some reason maybe prank me.. And next i immediately on the lights in the house (afternoon i know) but the corridor was dark.

I quickly went into the storeroom with my back against the wall and the handphone was on the floor, in the middle of the storeroom.

F**king freaky.

I was really very scared, back then i was very religious i just keep chanting the om mani padmi hum.

I quickly took the phone and went downstairs and etc, called my friend and stuff without taking anything else..

After that my friend(there is exchange module where we can just go into certain classes and exchange language lessons) so i got quite many Thai friends and i called one of them immediately and he stayed quite near.

When he arrived he asked if i was OK because i looked very pale, i told him what happened and he suggested we go temple to pray and since we were at Tharapchan, we took a cab to Wat Hualumphong and also we donated coffin there.

My monk asked the temple counter if any Luang Phor was in today as we were here to ask for help and i was very glad my friend was there as my Thai was half past 6 only. When we met the Luang Phor, we wai him and paid respect and my friend told him what happened.

The monk took a deep look at me and said that i was being followed by a female spirit and the spirit is now outside at the temple gate and didn’t come in, the spirit didn’t know me but was the previous occupant of the apt i was in and died a wrongful death(sounds damn satki like Thai ghost movie i know) and wanted me to help her.

I dont know if this was true but the apt was let to me by a senior in the tu who graduated and left to rent a apt in Sathorn road as he found a job there and easier to commute. So if what he said is true, might be die very long ago.

I hear liao i dont know want to cry or laugh i thought this kind of things only happened in ghost movie or Hong Kong.. I didn’t speak good Thai and i keep the wai position and ask my friend to ask Luang Phor for help………….

The story is not spectacular as there isn’t 10 monks sitting in a row trying to purge any centipede or nails or fish hooks out of my body like gontao movie, he took the fabatt as thais call it..the bowl with water and a phra kring inside to bless holy water.

And lit a candle, then he told me to recite after him and he chanted slowly as i couldn’t speak Thai fast. The thing went on for like 10 mins or so.. Then he asked me to pour some sort of a water from a small container into a chalice then ask me use the water from chalice go water any tree in the compound.

After that he told my friend the girl wants stuff to be done , but my friend dint ask what , maybe is to burn things i dont want to know, i just told Luang Phor what can i do as i am here to take a break from work and here to experience Thai culture .. I am not ready for all these.

The Luang Phor seems very Chillax and laughed and told me not to worry and told me she is harmless and asked if i have been harmed so far by her? To which i replied no but any ah mao ah gao would not continue staying there. I asked Luang Phor if there is any way i could get the spirit out and he said no, her spirit is in the house and he muttered some stuff to my friend.

He then gave me a amulet then told me to wear it well. I wore it immediately and we wai again and left. I didn’t dare to return home and my friend said if i was really scared i could go bunk in with him but i went his house before and it was very crammed.

I didn’t know what to do, i was alone in a foreign place and such things happen. I told him accompany me back to pack things just in case i wanna make a run to the nearest hotel to stay should anything happened again.

During the taxi ride back i asked my friend what did Luang Phor tell him. He told me i need to be prepared if i wanna know, and of course i just told him to say everything as i was confused and also helpless. He said the Laung Phor said the spirit would not leave because there are some part of her still within the house, and i ask what there were, he said her bone fragments, but do not worry as the spirit is that of a small female child and not vengeance ghost.

I hear already i jitao damn sian. I do not grow up in a place with ghost in my house and i could not think how would the monk and my friend think it is even OK for me to go back. But i did anyway.. There wasn’t a plan b and i didn’t know what to do..

I went back home and my friend left after a while when i was more settled in. After my friend left, i spoke in Thai to tell the spirit that i am here only for a while, and my Thai chiu.. Dunno if she understand a not.

Things didn’t happen for another couple of weeks and i thought i made peace with the spirit..

Y i didn’t ask him send the ghost away ah.

First reason is cause i humji..i am there for few months only i dont want the monk to put up a fight and chase the spirit away and when i go other place the spirit follow quietly and wait till the monk cannot help me then come out chut pattern again.

Second reason i dunno if the monk jalan a not.. I dont want piss off the spirit because after all, she didn’t harm me.

Third reason, i dont want any trouble and i just hope she dont disturb me or dont make her presence known..

In fact after that my friend kaypoh go and tell the teacher and the teacher told me to think of the incident as a story and I’m supposed to tell the story in class to the rest of the students in Thai.. That was some struggle at that point of time but i did it anyway with a lot of laughter from the class (only less than 20 students, mostly Asian, quite a group of Taiwanese and Hongkie in that intake).

Few weeks later, i bought cashew nuts home to eat and as i reach home around evening i was very tired. I just throw the plastic bag with the cashew nuts in it then i went off to take a bath. By then i somehow got the incident behind me ..

The cashew nut is those big packet and inside it, there are many small individually wrapped packet. When i was back into the room. I got a shock again, the big packet has been torn apart and the individually small wrapped packet were thrown all over inside the room. My first reaction was “oh shiet happen again” i told off the spirit and said i dont want any trouble and cant help her and ended off saying pood Thai mai keng.

I didn’t sleep that night, my room lights remained on and i sat against the wall surf facebook in case i fell asleep. Soon later, i became more and more sensitive to those stuff like my hair suddenly stand and stuff.

I went to my Thai friend again and once again he brought me go another temple, this time further abit..wat pradoochimplee around Bangkok yai phasichareon area.

Those into pra krueng will know this is the temple of luang pu toh who made the famous pidta jumbo sorng, pidta tukata yai lek, pidta kanok kang, etc etc. We consulted the monk and again he gave me a amulet and did a blessing over me. This time, i somehow didn’t have as much faith when i left the temple. Faith in the sense that there was no guarantee of my being not disturbed. Afterall, i wasn’t harmed and all these small cheap thrills the spirit pull on me, the monk thinks its a mischievous and playful ghost and meant no harm?

Eh come on please, if u have a kid and a ghost want to play stunts on your kid, is it OK? Obviously not right. But well, to the monks it is alright.I need to get myself out of this, but i didn’t know how.

Further trips to more temple, i went Chinese temple, poh teck teng at yaowalad, i even went up north to korat region and all no help.

But somehow doing all these in months.. I somehow began to like Thai culture, Thai way of life and also their beliefs. It was when i relate my experience and somehow exchange their knowledge on how they viewed such things that i began to accept more the originally weird way of thinking.

As time passed i began to pity the spirit, this child might be here for 50 or 60 years i dont know and has remained there.. If the occupant was less sensitive to their realm and stayed there for 50 years, she didn’t have anyone to talk to or “play” with for that time.

Anyway, one day it was songkran and we went out as a group to sight see and also chill out, when i was walking home, there is this pushcart selling chicken sticks and i thought why not i just buy one stick for the girl (anyway i remind again, it is a small girl so please dont ask me piak her) and another stall beside was selling mango sticky rice and so i bought as well.

Both items for 60 baht, OK.

I went home and i didn’t do any kmt prayers or whatsoever .. I just left it there and told her it was songkran and the stuff were for her. That night was peaceful and ever since there, whenever i was in a good mood or there were festive season i bought stuff for her also.

Btw i dont buy yakult and toy cars and throw sweets around the corner of house as i was very clear i not keeping kmt. In fact i didn’t communicate with her or say anything as long as she dont disturb me.

Looking back at that , i finished my course at tu and went for one more short course at chula.. One day my friend suggested we go back to the temple and ask the Luang Phor if the girl was still following me.

When the luang phor saw me , he said “good man” i asked why , he said the girl looked happier now, and i asked is she still following me to the gate. To which he replied “no, she is with us now, behind u”.

My hair stood up again and my friend also lampar giu zui sat up very straight. Anyhow, i asked can luang phor ask what does the girl want, the Luang Phor just smiled and said she doesn’t need anything, she is just playful.

I didn’t ask further why was she there or what happened.. I wasn’t in the mood to play ???? and help her seek redress. I explained to Luang Phor what i did and he smiled and dee mak.

During the course of these few months, whenever something happen to my phone or weird stuff happening, of course i would be scared but somehow after a brief moment like watching TV or doing assignment, i would forget about it and soon after i was able to off lights and sleep..

A couple of examples more on what happened were, when i woke up, the toothbrush already displayed at the sink with toothpaste on it. I was thinking if i came in 10 seconds earlier, would i see the tooth brush and tooth paste in mid way like invisible man movie?
i’
Another one which was more common was sometimes when i fell asleep, i could hear kids foot running around the house, but only one kid i’m sure cause u can tell if its a bunch of kids or what ..

Another one which is quite freaky is u know sometimes when people stand close to u , u can feel they are there, like behind u or in front of u when u close your eyes. There are so many times when i almost fell asleep but not asleep yet and i feel there is a face directly in front of my face looking at me, but never once i dared to open my eyes, i just pretend to fall asleep.

There are more occurrence during that time and i am unable to type out all the examples but its like having a invisible housemate who would appear when u are not in that area of the house or at that time.

Ultimately when i left the place to go to Chiangmai for some other purpose, i hired a few monks and came to do prayers in that apt on my last day there before i moved out.

Haunted Elevator

I’ve been pretty lucky not to see anything “special” during my NS time, but I did experience one spooky encounter, which I will share. Somewhere in this thread someone mentioned about lift landing which made me recall my experience.

After OCS I was posted to an airbase, and one of my duties was to carry out runway inspection early in the morning(reach air base at around 4.30am, start inspection at around 5am to 5.30am). The inspection is usually just me and the driver, who stays in the base. Upon reaching air base, I will wake him up at the 3rd floor bunk before proceeding to do the checks. Need to check out bird-scaring gun and check other classified information… so need to go to office at level 6 and tower a few floors above. No one will be in office at that time, except for 1-2 civilian guys manning the meteorological office, which is open 24hrs.

Other floors are deserted with broken windows, some disused old furniture, trash, etc…quite creepy even in the day. I never asked what was there in the past. Don’t want to scare myself during my time there la. There are two lifts that I could use to reach the office, one at each end of the block. Each lift can access floors 1-6. At 4+am f***ing dark and quiet at both lift lobbies, don’t know why the lights are so dim knn, and the lift is the super old, small, creaky and noisy type… 6 people inside already sardine can.

So one clear and cool morning, it was business as usual and I was thinking of the procedures to take for the inspection and thinking of going home early due to shift work. Also quite tired since I woke up at 3+am to do the shift. Didn’t think much, and took the lift alone heading to level 6 from level 1(messaged driver who was already up, so no need to go bunk). Knnccb the lift suddenly stopped at level 4, doors opened up for no reason. I was f***ing sure I never pressed level 4 because it was already in muscle memory to press 6.

First reaction was “wah cb smlj knn better not see anything outside.” Almost pitch black because to the right side was the abandoned place and left was abandoned toilet and straight ahead was the stairs with very dim lighting. Hairs stood and quickly pressed door close button. Mind started to run wild. Was also thinking who so boliao will go there at 4+am to disturb me? But the whole building nobody using leh. Driver usually very lazy one should be still preparing himself to start the shift… lift malfunction? No one reported any problems later that day. Still puzzles me till today… but ignorance is bliss I guess. After that, nothing happened to me till ORD.

Kampong Dog Barking

I have a story to share but nothing creepy because I am not good in giving creepy stories.

All young children usually have sensitive body because they are pure, especially true 20-40 years ago.

I used to stay in a large “kampong” in Singapore every weekend and school holidays before I turned 11. That was in the 80s. “kampong” was built in 70’s.

The land was huge, 1 ha? Or 1 acre? (which ever is the smaller si unit) it is a brick and wood house have 3 bed room, a TV lounge and 4 door sliding door as main door, there is a huge altar there with several doga. Based on childhood memory. So i think house size is 170sqm? Plus outdoor and separated kitchen 60sqm.

There is a outdoor sheltered dining area, and a separated kitchen room. And there is 1mx1m well there too. That well was pretty much my science assignment as there is all sorts of water plants there which i could use for primary school science project .

There is a dog…oh..i miss him.

Enough of the background, my earliest memory staying at that “kumpong” house was 4-5 years old.

As it is “kampong” style house, there is a tall step into the rooms, about 0.8m in height, and the floorings are black thick wooden boards that can be removed, where u can use it as storage below. Its hard to describe further unless u stayed in one before. So it squeaked with any movement on the floor board.

During day time it is fine. When night falls, i dreaded. Especially i have to wake up to go to bathroom. This terrible feeling started when i was 7ish. Before that it was ok.

The feeling was extremely terrible for some nights, waking up at midnight going to toilet was a dread. I didn’t want to wake mum up. So, like another kid, i rub my jade pendant & put in my mouth and run to toilet

there were some night i woke up to saw my 3 year old brother looking at me with nee-doo, i ask why u no sleep? “sheee sheee” orrrhh go lor. *shook the head*

u also scare..*nod nod* i also we go together.

Each movement gives a squeak, which squeak frighten both of us. It goes on for many years, until at one point it dreaded us so much that we told our parents we do not wan to stay overnight for weekends anymore. No matter how fun it was over there to play.

The kind of fun today children will never understand. Those days where have TV and computer games.

Interesting thing is the dog sometimes cannot stop barking during evening meal times or late at night before we sleep. This dog was with us for years, he is very smart and never unnecessary bark. It was always barking at the ac unit outside the living area that is right beside the bedroom.

Even during the day, instead of lying down by the well i mentioned earlier, he love to stand around the ac unit. Looking at it. Dog pass away when i was 11.

It was few years later, when i was in secondary, the “kampong” put up a from proper Thailand monk to stay for some time, as he needed a place to stay for free.

Then we knew that there was always a female ghost in red sitting on the ac unit and always there whenever we stay over.

Monk say that she meant no harm. She pass by the place one day and decide to sit by the ac as and when she liked but the aura greatly disturb the place so he had ask her to go. Out of curiosity, my dad ask, so how long has she been there. Monk was quite zhun, give the years. My dad a non-believer told us during dinner and that rituals was performed by the monk as token of appreciation for putting him up. As the kampong was a very good place to mediate.

Then i told my dad, well, i felt super uneasy from that year onward, so monk was telling the truth. My brother also say ya lor, it was damn scary at night for dunno what.

So whenever a dog bark the same way my old dog did, i knew there is bad aura ghost wondering around. It is a very different kind of barking if any sensitive person is observed.

Corpse Underneath Bed

John checked into the hotel and was quite happy the day had ended early for him. Away and alone on an important business trip, he had wanted some time for himself to explore the city but the thought of getting up early the following day made his postponed his plan.

After a hot shower, he continued to use his laptop to liase with his counterpart back at HQ and update his family on his well being. Unknowingly, it was past midnight and he thought he better retire for the night. He crept into the comfort of the bed quilt and slowly drifted into sleep.

The next morning, John woke up as usual and prepared himself to get ready for the day. However, at the back of his mind he was reminded of a strange occurrence of last night’s dream. The dream took him back to the exact setting of his hotel room, and at the dressing table, was a lady sobbing softly drawing his attention. He cautioned towards the lady and she slowly lifted her head. John stopped at his track.

He could see the lady was trying to talk to him. Her lips were making movement but what came out seem to be of inaudible sound. It was brief, the dream ended just like that. But it lingered in his head throughout the day.

At the end of the second day, John had already forgotten about the incident. He was more than happy to be able to go home soon. He decided to rest early for that night.

As soon as he was turning to deep sleep, he thought he could hear foot steps walking across the hotel carpet in his room and stopped just at his bed side. He decided to ignore as he thought his sleep has blurred his senses. It was then he heard some mumbling at his ear. But it was soft, he could not make out of it. It continued and the mumbling became louder and louder, until John could fully understand what he heard.

“hmm nummmm oommmmmmmmmmm”

In a single jolt, he sprung awake and jumped right out of the bed. His eyes scanned the room but there was no lady. He then did the unimaginable. He lifted his hotel mattress.

His eyes nearly popped out of its sockets. He could not apprehend what he saw. Right underneath his bed, was a corpse which appeared to be bound at hands and feets and the mouth was apparently gagged. However, the corpse was faced down, meaning the back of the corpse was against the mattress.

John then ran out of his room and straight to the lobby. He was stammering while trying to explain what he saw in his room. After his words were understood, a team of 4 security personnels on duty were recalled to the reception and thereafter given instructions by the manager to check out the room with the duty manager.

Upon reaching the door, one of the guards opened cautiously and all the furniture in the room was messed up including the carpet. The corpse which John saw was nowhere to be found. John was confused as well as terrified. He then requested one of the guards to stay behind to accompany him to pack up and check out of the hotel immediately.
