Toyol in Grandma’s
House
Siti lived with her parents in Johor Baru in the state of
Johor. Her father was a clerk then and her mother was a housewife. They lived
in a Government quarters and this incident when she was only primary 2. When

grandmother for a few days.
A ‘toyol’ at the back of
the Door
Her grandma’s was in Masai, Johor and she lived
in a wooden plank house with a concrete base. Her mother and Siti will visit
her grandma during the school holidays. Although it was only a wooden house, it
was a larger house than their house in Johor Baru. Siti will play with the kids
from the neighbourhood.
Depiction of a ‘toyol’
This incident occurred when Siti was going to bed at about
11 pm. She was sleeping with her mother
in bed and she getting comfortable and sleepy. Just before her eyes closed, she
saw a small-goblin-like creature jumped on her bed and stared at her eyes.
Yeaaaah! It was green in colour and red beady eyes and when he laughed, Siti
could see a row of small sharp teeth in his mouth. Staring back at that “thing”
and desperately tugging at her mother to wake up. The child-like thing just
grinned at her and ran away from the bedroom.
Heard her grandma told her mother said, “toyol at the wooden
house always cause trouble”.
