Japanese Ghosts in
Malaysia
Jamil and
Arof decided to love their kites at Pantai Bahru at the beach and fishing
village in Kelantan but they encountered an eerie and scary incident.
Pantai Bahru
is located approximately 10 km from the state capital of Kota Bahru in Kelantan.
It was the place that in 1941 the invasion of the Japanese army during the 2nd
World War which eventually led to the surrender and downfall of Malaya and
Singapore (if my history don’t fail me ... way before my time-lah).
Getting to
my story, Jamil and Arof intended to go on that weekend to fly their kites (translation
– laying-layang or wau) at that beach after driving from their house in Kota
Bahru. By the time they were through with the kite flying it was already dark
past 7pm and they gathered their stuff to go home.

As they sat
feeling the breeze blowing from the beach packing up their stuff, Jamil saw
that a group of men were busy on the beach which was about 200 meters away.
Arof who was chatting happily with Jamil also looked at the same scene at the
beach. They could not see clearly due to the fading light, but the people were
dressed in some kind of uniform. At the same time, they were puzzled that they
could not hear any sound caused by the commotion of the people. Except for the
sound from the breeze and the swishing sound of the waves there was absolutely
no sound– like in an old fashioned silent movie!
