Unnatural Tales from a
Taxi Driver
A Public Cab
taxi driver’s own personal experiences with the world of supernatural.
During a
recent trip to KLIA, I manage to talk with Haj. Yusof, the taxi driver, about
his personal experiences about the supernatural. Haj. Yusof is a over 50 year
old and is a jovial man, who work as a taxi driver for Public Cab in mostly
Klang Valley in Malaysia. Other than the drivers from Public Cab, he also have
friends from rival companies like Radio Taxi, Sunlight, Comfort etc. Like he
said, “Everybody has to make a living”.
Public Cab in Malaysia
Haj. Yusof
says there seem to be a lot of stories from taxi drivers and ordinary people
concerning mostly the tragedy of the Highland Towers. The Highland Towers
collapsed at Taman Hillview in Selangor in 1993 where 48 people were killed –
and stories and tales of strange and eerie apparitions in the vicinity were
reported.
However,
Haj. Yusof is reluctant of going to the places like Bukit Antarabangsa, Ampang
etc not just because of the stories but he seen personally seen strange and
weird things from that area. One night after the tragedy, he was around the
area in residential part of Ampang, where he saw a man looking for a cab. The
night was dark and there was a slight fog in the night air and he drove slightly
past the spot where the man was waiting.
