Ghostly Child Handmarks

Missy, an eleven year old girl, is rushing to back her knacksack for a night with her friend’s house for the night. 

Missy’s mother was still working so her father had to pick her up to spend a night at a friend’s place. It was already past 7pm when they finally arrived at the house with her father busy getting Missy’s stuff from their car. Missy’s friend and mom were already waiting for her in the front porch.

The night in the neighbourhood was quiet dark and windy the streetlights were poorly lit. As Missy was getting out their car she casually looked at the darken neighbourhood and could barely make out a little girl in a white dress standing beside a tree. The tree was located at the opposite of the neighbourhood road from her father’s car. 

Missy turned and pointed at the girl to her father and asked, “Who’s that little girl?” Her father, already late for his appointment, angrily muttered, “Don’t be a busybody!” Missy’s friend and her mom arrived at their car to say their “hullos”. Missy’s father thanked them for allowing his daughter to spend a night at their house.

Later when Missy and her friend were lying in bed talking about school and boys when they heard a constant irritating scratchy sound from their upper bedroom. Curious and giggling they decided to get out of bed and crept to the bedroom window. Looking out in the darkness which was only dimly lighted and the windy conditions that night they could not see much.

Normah Saad went to West Germany where she graduated (after learning the German language) with a marketing degree. When she finally came back to Malaysia, she stayed in Johor with her parents their hometown. She also visited with her brother and her sister-in-law in Malacca where they both worked. One day, Normah, was babysitting her brother’s son, Adam, who was only 3 years old while her brother and sister-in-law have the night off.

After putting Adam in bed, Normah was busy with her laptop looking for a job and catching up with friends in Facebook. She then noticed that Adam was not asleep and he was lying in bed, a bolster (a small pillow) in his hand and sucking a pacifier in his mouth. She then went to sit on the bed and noticed that Adam was smiling at the ceiling. Normah then asked jokingly what is Adam looking at. Without taking his eyes from the ceiling softly said, “elder white brother” (in Malay language)…Huh! Normah was a bit puzzled and confused.
