Followed Ghost Hunter Home

Followed Ghost Hunter Home

An amateur Ghost Hunter was shocked that ‘something’ followed her home!

Molly was a 17 year old who likes to follow her friends looking for haunted houses in their home town of Kota Tinggi in the state of Johor, Malaysia. Especially after SPM (a government exam) they were just bored and just wanted excitement besides Molly was naturally interested in the supernatural.

One night Molly and a group of her friends went to a derelict abandoned old folks’ home on the outskirt of town. It was pitch black when they finally found the exact location, it was a 2 storey bungalow with a rusty padlock hanging loose about the gate. They drove their car onto the small lane beside the old bungalow.

They made the way to the garden which was terribly overgrown with weeds and plants when some of them finally suggested that they will wait for them there. Molly and her friend, Rajoo, were furious with their suggestion and for changing their minds at the very last minute. Their pleas and threats fell on deaf ears as they were adamant that will only wait at the car.

Nevertheless Molly and Rajoo crept silently into the abandoned bungalow with their flashlights which only provided them with lights which were unfortunately not bright enough. They went through the broken front door and slowly went into the front hall, which were fill-up with broken furniture, weeds and with eerily massive cobwebs on the ceiling and walls.

They made to the kitchen which was located at the side of the bungalow when suddenly Molly heard a faint giggling sound from the front hall. Thinking it was her friends, Molly grabbed Rajoo and rushed to the front door but found nobody there. As Molly yelled at her friends not to play the fool she had a quick glimpse of shadows of a movement moving very fast up the staircase. Molly and Rajoo pounded up the stairs but found their friends were not there.

Later they were told by their friends who were waiting beside their car that they were busy chatting and they did not go anywhere. Molly thought it was just her imagination running wild and as such did not make too much of the incident.

Molly lived with her parents together with her elder brother, Eric, and sister, Cynthia. After a week from the incident, she noticed that things were not exactly right at her house. There were furious arguments between family members and especially between Eric and Cynthia. Being the eldest boy and girl they were close and had a loving sibling relationship but instead now they were fighting like dogs and cats, as if they could not even accept each other.

Even the house pet, a family cat named Tabby, had many weird and unexpected incidents. Tabby as usual would be busy grooming herself when she suddenly looking up and she will be frightened out of her mind. Tabby arched her back hissing all the while looking at a certain spot in the room. Then she would zoom away and be out of there at breakneck speed heading for the safety of Molly’s parents room!

The final straw came about when one night, Molly was watching TV alone in the living room. During the commercial break she went to kitchen for a glass of water when suddenly she felt something or somebody viciously yanked at the back of her hair. The tugged of her hair was so hard that she fell on her back and she let out a piercing scream. The rest of the family rushed out to the living room when they heard her scream wondering what was wrong. They discovered Molly was lying on her back sitting dazed and they anxiously asked what is going on.

Scary Footprints

Scary Footprints

…..they crept slowly about the deserted house where they found a series of footprints then they followed into the empty living room…

I was going to start on the original story but I was reminded of another story about hearing of mysterious footprints and so on, so let me start with that first.

Kelly Lin claimed never actually seen a ghost but she personally recollects a mysterious and eerie incident. Kelly left for the Meinong District in Taiwan to attend one of her cousin’s wedding. She stayed with her relatives while staying there.

His aunty brought out her to have lunch at a food stall for lunch before driving her home as the aunty has to work. Kelly was left alone and she sat on the sofa in the living room busy and preoccupied with her phone. She suddenly heard that was somebody upstairs and it sounded like a kid giggling and there were sound of footsteps of someone shuffling or dragging their feet.

Kelly was a bit surprised because as far as she knew nobody else was supposed to be in….much more a kid! She yelled but there was no reply but the sound of giggling continued. Feeling slightly frustrated she went upstairs when the giggling suddenly stopped. When she got upstairs she found the rooms were empty. She could have sworn that she heard the sound of a little kid giggling and the footsteps but she could have imagined the whole thing.

When she went to the relatives again a year later, Kelly was unpacking her clothes in the guest room in upstairs. She was clearly shocked when she heard the sound of a kid giggling in one of upstairs room. She rushed into the rooms of the upper portion but found that there was no one around! She did asked her uncle and aunty but they confirm they did not hear anything.

For the second story, Zaidi was a constable in the town of Tawau in the state of Sabah in East Malaysia. One night there were a lot of complaints from a certain neighborhood that someone seemed to be in a deserted house. Zaidi and his partner were instructed to check out the house in the neighborhood.

Was I Possessed?

Was I Possessed?

She reluctantly conceded that their house is haunted but was utterly horrified that she might actually be possessed as well.

When Neal and Denise shifted to Kuala Kangsar in the state of Perak, Malaysia, they were lucky to buy an old resident place which was surprising were in their budget. The couple together with their young daughter and Neal’s mother quickly settled in.

As a young married couple both Neal and Denise got into occasional minor quarrels and spats but they were generally a happy couple. However after living for a few months they seemed to be constantly involved in angry outburst and vicious rows.  Almost every day they will be screaming until the lingering heartbreak and numbness which seem at times impossible to bear.

During this period there were also a number of strange and weird incidents in the house. For instance Neal’s mother was woken up from her sleep when she heard the couple quarreling. She walked to her grandchild’s bedroom and found the little girl fast asleep. She was going to talk to the couple what was wrong again when she felt so drowsy that she felt asleep by her grandchild’s bed. While falling to sleep Neal’s mother heard the sound of a man snickering.  Even Neal’s and Denise’s young child was not spared who complained that he is seeing an “uncle” (a shadow of a man) in the corners of the house.

Neal came back from work and found Denise sitting on the bedroom putting the clothes away. Neal said excitedly that should go out for dinner just the two of them like they used to do. He added that he that he had informed his cousin to bring his mother and their young daughter out for dinner with the cousin’s family. Denise was a bit reluctant and wary but agreed to go Neal for dinner.

After a wonderful dinner that night Neal finally said that it his fault but he felt there was something wrong with their house…that he seemed like he was possessed.  Denise was surprised and taken aback…it was exactly the same way that she felt!

They decided to enlist the help of a pastor but after performing the cleansing ceremony, things were okay until the couple’s young daughter saw the “uncle” again. The dark figure was again standing at the back of her bedroom. When they told the pastor what happened, he was shock and said that will bring another old pastor in a nearby town who has more experience with spirits.

After the older pastor has done blessing, he looked at the couple and said the ghost would NOT leave. His advice that the couple and the rest of the family should leave as soon as possible!

Neal’s mother while walking to the car and leaving that house, she glanced at the window of the bedroom…she saw a dark figure and he was carrying a noose … or a hanging rope!

Although the new place was much smaller than the previous house they felt much better away with the constant fights and spats (and away from the ghost).

Life’s Unexpected Spooky Encounters

Life’s Unexpected Spooky Encounters

Incredible coincidence or was it a mischievous spirit…or even an evil spirit? These are 2 different incidents about their spooky experience.

Elsa and her team flew to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to take part in a book exhibition at PWTC (Putra World Trade Center). The next day, Elsa’s colleague and hotel mate, has to leave for Singapore as her baby boy taken ill and have to be hospitalized.

Elsa was resting on the bed that night, reading the extra notes about the event as her friend has left for home. Elsa was feeling drowsy and extremely sleepy as she tried to continue reading. The lights in the bedroom was cozy and dimmed as Elsa finally decided to sleep she switched off the reading light bedside her bed…she was startled to find a man’s hand (but only the hand up to the elbow) moving to turn off the reading light by her bed! She let out a sharp gasp…Holy Shit! .... rustling and whirling to the other edge of her bed…as she hurriedly and wildly looked back at the reading light but this time she did not see the man’s fingers and hand. Feeling tired and stupid, she thought foolishly to herself that it was just a figment of her overwork imagination.

Elsa woke up the next morning and together with her other colleagues after the breakfast hotel buffet rushed to prepare for the events at PWTC for that day. Later in the morning, when it was less busy with customers, she checked her smartphone, only to find there was a photo taken by her smartphone…..a photo of her sleeping in the hotel bedroom!

Shocked!…who could have taken the photo of her especially since her colleague already left to go back to Singapore the night before….

Tara Tsai from Hong Kong met up with her old friend, Kylie, for lunch to chit-chat about their lives from the old days when they were school. After lunch, Kylie was insistent that she show Tara the photos in her apartment.

Super Creepy Incidents from Asia

Super Creepy Incidents from Asia

Two really creepy and scary incidents from selected countries from Asia.

The first incident occurred when Yew Seng, a renovation supervisor, was working on a project in Kuantan in state of Pahang, Malaysia. It was late in the evening and he just got a call from his boss giving him hell and asking what was going on. They were working on an International School and he walked wearily back to an old music room which they were renovating.

 A Music Room

He got back and his found his 2 Indonesian workers and all of them were down on their knees cleaning the floor tiles. They were down on their knees facing downwards towards the Music room, when he heard a lady behind him saying, “Excuse me”. Tired and weary he told his workers, “Orang jalan……tepi! tepi!” (translation in English “People walking….move! move!”)

As the 2 workings scrambled and moved a path away and could hear the footsteps beside their bodies. The footsteps continued but they suddenly realized there was nobody there!….the footsteps suddenly stopped and they heard a woman saying, “Thank You”… and the sound of footsteps slowly faded at the end of the room. The 3 of them looked at each totally lost with mouths wide-opened absolutely confused…they heard the voice of the lady and even heard her footsteps…. but there was nobody there!

One of the worker heard of a rumour about a teacher having committed suicide in the music room or that school many years ago.

The next incident occurred in Butuan City in the country of Philippines. Liza is a teacher and presently unmarried and stays in the poorer suburbs of Butuan City. After work one day, she reached her flat which basically consist of a small bathroom, a bedroom and a combined room of the kitchen/living room together with a kitchen.

Farewell to an Old Friend

Farewell to an Old Friend

It was heartbreaking tragic news as he was told that his close friend has suddenly passed away. He was further shocked when he suddenly realized that it was his friend that he saw that night.

Gopeng which was a small rich ex-mining town located about 20 km from Ipoh, the state capital, in the state of Perak in Malaysia.  Eugene and Menom were not only childhood but best friends and lived almost their entire adult lives in the town of Gopeng.

Town of Gopeng in Perak

Eventually Eugene left home in Gopeng bringing his father and his younger sister along with him. He was promoted as an assistant distribution manager in Shah Alam, Selangor. His father could get his weekly treatment in a nearby hospital and his sister could begin her course at a local college.

One night Menom and his wife just finished dinner at a local ‘mamak’ store and they drove to their house. His wife unlocked the front door and Menom was taking out some grocery from the car when he decided to smoke his cigarette (not allowed to smoke in the house). The entire neighbourhood was very dark except for a few roadside lamps. As he was sitting on the bonnet of his car, he saw a stranger opposite and near to his house beside a roadside lamp. As the stranger was beside the lamp, Menom could only see the outline of the stranger but it was very familiar.

Just as Menom was going to call out to the stranger, his wife came to the car and said why he is taking so long. Menom looked at his wife then turned back to the direction of the stranger and was about to reply…..the stranger beside the lamp post was gone. Menom looked everywhere in the neighbourhood but there was nothing there.

Dead Persons’ Antiques

Dead Persons’ Antiques

My wife is completely terrified of antiques wondering if dead persons actually own them and even how they died. Some Asian cultures believe that previous articles belonging to dead people might have ghostly traces or aura energies of the deceased.

Which reminds me of the show about “The Pickers” on the History Channel on Astro TV. The TV series is about 2 American guys who owned a business in Iowa and they travelled to different states to collect antiques or ‘junk’– called “rusty gold”. Obviously the 2 guys do not believe of the existence of ghost but I wondered whether they felt just bit uneasy of the old stuff they buy. I guess I will not know.

Kenneth Chua, does not believe in this ghostly stuff either, and he runs a fairly successful metal building contracting company.  Kenneth together with his wife, Ming Yoke, their children lives in Balakong in Selangor. One day Kenneth had to go to Terengganu for a site meeting and after lunch he went to an antique shop. As expected, Kenneth was very interested in old stuff and antiques. He purchased an interesting old antique dressing table with mirror for his wife’s birthday present.

The professional movers had to drive all the way from Terengganu to his house in Balakong in Selangor. As the movers were taking the old dressing with mirror they had to walk passed the living room on to the way to the stairs.

An old Dressing Table with Mirror

Kenneth’s and Mei Yoke’s youngest daughter, Jamie, 3 years old were sitting in a child’s table in the living room playing with her computer game. All of a sudden when Jamie looked up, she started crying and shrieking with her legs tucked and folded up, frantically pulling away from her little body. She was truly horrified with her eyes wide opened peering at the old dressing table with the mirror.

Kenneth and his wife were taken aback and they rushed to calm their daughter, lost and wondering what was wrong with her. Meanwhile Jamie fell down from the child’s chair, still screaming with eyes still looking frightfully at the dressing table. When Kenneth and his wife rushed to Jamie, they tried unsuccessfully to pacify their daughter. Finally Kenneth had to tell the movers to transfer the old dressing table back to an old warehouse.

Eerie Car Tales

Eerie Car Tales

Eerie and harrowing tales about ghostly apparitions or sights that one might encounter unexpectedly particularly in their cars! I have 3 other chilling true-life tales for you.

 An Old Proton Car

Jacob was driving back late after work at old Sungai Buloh back road when he saw a colleague in his old white Proton. Jacob saw there was a woman beside his colleague, Wan, who was busy driving. It was getting dark but he saw that the woman had full length hair and she was sitting on the front seat facing Wan.

When Jacob met with Wan the next day, he chided his friend asking who was the lady in his car yesterday. Wan look somewhat puzzled and said, “Where got lady….alone lah!”

Although Wan vigorously denied that was with a women, Jacob was at the same time sure that he saw a woman with Wan in the old Proton car! Was it a ghost?

The next story occurred at Chukai (also known as Kemaman Town) in state of Terengganu. Kadir was travelling from that town one night when he was alarmed that a terrible loud sound…phlatt… came crashing on his car. Shook up he quickly pull his car, a Naza Ria, onto the side of the coastal road and sat around to look at the surrounding but there were no cars on that lonely road.

 Model of Naza Ria

He quickly looked at the surrounding again as there was nothing except the wind was blowing hard in the night air. Too terrified to actually go down the car at night instead he drove back to his home.

When he reached his home, he got down from his Naza Ria and with a plastic stool together with a torchlight he got up to look down at his car. The top of the roof at the front of the car were absolutely fine but the….the back of the front portion was badly dented with a depression of approximately 17cm oval in size!

Asia Hotel in Bangkok – haunted?

Asia Hotel in Bangkok – haunted?

Asia Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand is reputed as one of the most haunted hotel in that country. There are many stories from clients of that hotel of certain floors where ghostly apparitions are seen and other spooky incidents. A reader and his wife spoke about their truly weird incidents in that hotel.

The 4-star hotel has long been popular with both business travelers and tourists. It is situated in Bangkok’s vibrant and easy access to the shopping, business and entertainment centres.

Ian and Tess Phua checked in the Asia Hotel for a few days intending for both business (Ian has a meeting with some clients) and pleasure. Ian was in the shower in their room when he felt extreme unease and suddenly he saw an image flash of a man in the shower. He quickly stared all around the shower but did not find anything. Thinking it was just his nerves, he promptly forgot the incident.

The next day, Ian had to rush back to their room in the hotel when he realized that he left some samples for his clients. As he was grabbing the samples from their room, he thought he heard a murmuring sound and realize that Tess was in their bathroom and she seemed to be crying. Frustrated as he was rushing for time, he knocked at the bathroom asking his wife what was wrong. Hearing no response, he rushed abruptly in the bathroom…and he found the sound of crying has stopped….and Tess was not in the bathroom, in fact there was nobody there. Thinking that he must have heard the crying from other rooms he decided to forget it.

A Bedroom from Asia Hotel

After they have gone to bed that night, Tess woke up suddenly when she realized that her body was being groped. Half asleep she angrily smacked her husband hand and felt asleep. She was awakened again and felt the hand groping her body. Angry and furious she muttered saying, “Stop it, I am tired….” As she turned to face her husband but was amazed to find her husband was beside her, fast asleep!
