1^st Story

For the first story, Lionel Yee and his friends decided to go to Kuala Terengganu for their vacation. Kuala Terengganu is located in the state of Terengganu which lies in the eastern region of Peninsula Malaysia.

One night they decided to go for dinner at a well-known local food stall and by the time they got there it was already after 8 pm. The food stall was packed with customers and they had to wait for their turn. While waiting for their turn they went to an empty nearby field to chit-chat and to smoke. The field was relatively dark as the lights from the food stall were facing the other side. However there was a partial moon with moonlight shining dimly in the darkness.

Lionel suddenly felt something had hit him hard on the lower back directly above the head and he staggered wildly towards his friends. His friends were shocked as they rushed to help Lionel asking anxiously him what was wrong. Lionel spurned around turned and angrily glared, as he was sure that it was one of friends but…there was no one, not even a soul!

They went to their hotel after their meal at the food stall and Lionel kept complaining about the ache on his back. As he was undressing he looked at the back of his T-shirt but did not find any tear, not even a sign of a cut on the fabric. As Lionel was busy inspecting his T-shirt when one his friend accidentally looked up and was extremely shocked to find that Lionel’s back shoulder was bruised with a vicious blue-black mark!!

Was it a supernatural or paranormal spirit……

Sleep Paralysis in SEA Park, Petaling Jaya

Sleep Paralysis in SEA Park, Petaling Jaya

I personally experience this phenomena of Sleep Paralysis when I was studying in Petaling Jaya – is it real?

I have heard the scientific reasons for Sleep Paralysis, that is when a person is unable to move or even to speak as if totally paralysed. That person may hear sounds, imagine an apparition or a ghost-like creature or feel their chest was pressing on them. This is what the scientific term of Sleep Paralysis is related to REM (Rapid Eye Movement) which occurs at the onset of sleep. The body’s muscles are relaxed but dreaming is frequent.

I used to live in SEA Park in Petaling Jaya, at my cousin’s place, while I was attending my studies at Taylor’s College (so many years ago!). My cousin invited a couple for a room and in addition she also rented to 8 guys who studying at FIT (now have closed down). As we were young, we did not mind the inconveniences, we basically just need a room to sleep.

One night, the water was not on and we had to do without any water. However my cousin and some of the guys from FIT were busy gambling and I was busy drinking my beer. When it was finally over, I slept on an old couch and three of the guys were sleeping in the living room. 

An Old Couch in the Living Room

3 Bed, 2 Bath and a Ghost

3 Bed, 2 Bath and a Ghost

A lady found that her recent purchased house is plagued by paranormal activities.

I found out that selling my old house is not so easy as people (especially Chinese) as people are influenced by so many superstitions (‘patang’) and beliefs. For example, across my house is a small TNB (electricity) substation which some people considered as not desirable. I have heard that high voltage pylons are a taboo (a strict ‘no go’) as electromagnetic fields will make the spirits more energetic as they need to manipulate their surroundings.  However for a small TNB substation is too much but maybe its the surroundings that make it so hauntingly creepy.

A Typical Haunted House in Malaysia

This is a true account of Gail Soh who recently bought a 3 bed/2 bath house in Cheras in Kuala Lumpur. She bought it with a 20 per cent off compared to other existing houses in the area. Her property agent told her about the previous tenants were desperate to get rid of the house and there rumours about it being haunted. Gail was not bothered it about and considered it as foolish stories made by people who were did not know better. 

Shortly after Gail moved in, there were numerous strange and unexplained incidents that occurred at that house. She would be asleep and nightmares (about her dead relatives), sleep paralysis , feeling of sadness and deep depression would happen almost every night.

There were times when the volume of her TV was turn to either high or low or the channels were changed or flipped continuously. The lights in her bathroom were turn or off and even the taps in the kitchen were also turned on. When she was in the living room watching TV, she could clearly here footsteps in the bedrooms where no-body was around.
