These tales are told by Singaporean tourists, locals and of course, the ghost
busters.
Three of the
most talk about tales or incidents are:
Incident 1 – A Singaporean family while
travelling home, saw the shopping mall and was surprised to find it all lighted
up and filled up with customers. Thinking that the mall was finally opened they
joined the rest of the customers. After spending the time happily shopping they
finally left but stopped at a relative’s house in Johor. The family proudly showed
their relatives the things they bought but found that it was only dried leaves
and twigs. The relatives mentioned that the shopping mall was abandoned for
many years.
According to
an employee of Johor Baru Town council, that houses or buildings that have long
been abandoned will attract the devils or demons (kediaman syaitan dan jin – Malay
translation) which will housed the entities.
Incident 2 – An illegal pregnant woman who was
squatting in Kemayan City Plaza had an accident. She injured herself when
accidentally stepped on an iron rod protruding in the ground. The other “residents”
did not bother with her cries of help and she eventually died. Since then,
there were wails and cries from a toddler/baby and occasion sights from the
toddler has frightened many.
Incident 3 – There are some who at nights have
spotted huge black shadowy figures outside in the abandoned shopping mall. Some even claimed that some people have lost
controls of their vehicles after seeing flying entities!
