Strange Voices in the Radio

Strange Voices in the Radio

One night when a student was studying for an exam, she heard strange and creepy voices from her radio.

Jane Siow rented a room at an apartment, more correctly a flat, at a nearby residential or housing place in Setapak in the 1990s. Jane was studying for a exam (I think it was a Business Management) course in her room and it about 2.30 am, when she a bit confused about the song that was playing on her Chinese channel on her radio.

She could hear a faint buzzing from her radio followed by a slightly louder sound of people talking and laughing. She was not frightened thinking that her radio reception and channel must have gotten to another radio’s reception. While she was fiddling around with the buttons in her portable radio, she was getting more confused as she still hear the voices on her radio and it was in the Malay language superimposed by the Chinese radio program.

Footprints at Templer’s Park

A young couple together with their young son found several strange occurrences during their visit to Templer’s Park in Selangor, Malaysia.

Templer’s Park is a forest reserve with a size of approximately 1,200 hectares and located about 5 kilometer from Rawang in the state of Selangor, Malaysia. It is named after Sir Gerald Templer which was a former British High Commissioner by the late Sultan of Selangor.

Templer’s Park is essentially a wildlife sanctuary which consists of the many waterfalls, the clear natural streams and the jungle trails. There are of course the essential amenities including car parks, public toilets and picnic spots.

Kamal was running late as he had some unexpected work from office to complete on a Sunday. It was late evening by the time to he drove his wife and kid to the shopping mall to do their normal weekend. When he finally drove from the shopping mall, his 4 year old son was making a big fuss as Kamal had earlier promise to take them to Templer’s Park.

There was still light by the time they arrived directly coming from the mall at Templer’s Park. After parking their car, Kamal and his wife, Putri, together with their young son had a ice cream each from an ice cream vendor who was just packing his stuff from his motorbike.
They hurried away to an isolated place where there was a particular small waterfall which Kamal loves to take a cool dip in the icy cold water. The sunset has almost darken the sky by that time and there were no sounds or chirping from the birds as was normal – but complete silence.

Hospital Patient’s Visitor

Hospital Patient’s Visitor

A patient was admitted to a hospital for a few days when she encountered an eerie incident at her ward.

Susanna Yim was treated in the local hospital in Malaysia for severe back pain which was probably caused by a slipped disk. She was subjected to stories about the supernatural and ghosts from her friends and her family members. All she wanted was to get rid of the pain in her back and get back to work and not about ridiculous and nonsensical tales of the paranormal. There was a story about the wards about the existence of voices of dead children hanging around the corridors.

Susanna was in a joint room with an old woman and has seen a young man and also an older man but she did not talk to them. One night when she woke up, she saw the old man sitting patiently on a chair beside the old woman who was sleeping. The old man looked surprised that Susanna has woken up and he warmly smile at her. Susanna managed to smile back and looking at the old lady lying in bed, asked him how is the old lady doing. The old man then said her wife is doing much better and she is just resting. Susanna also asked about the younger man who was presently not around. The old man smiled that the young man is his son but he is working the night shifts and could not be around. He added that he will look after his wife after his son’s shift. The old man also enquired about Susanna’s condition.

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.

Terrifying Night Drive

Terrifying Night Drive

Colin Mok works in Johor Baru and he just had dinner at a food stall with colleagues in town. It was already 11pm when he left for home to Kempas Baru. 

On the highway back from Johor Baru, he was on the fast lane and doing 110 km/hr (he claimed to be on the maximum limit…as usual) in his new Proton Satria when the next car suddenly sped to just his bumper. He was momentarily shocked, thinking he was already at 110 km/hr and wondered how fast does have to go. 

Being young and foolish, Colin gunned up the gas and sped his engine until his Satria was 140 km/hr but the other car was still flashing its high beam and still tailgating his car. From the headlights from the other car, Colin was able to see that it was an older car and it was unbelievably close – possibly inches from the back of Colin’s Satria.

A Datsun 120Y

“What the hell!” as a frustrated Colin muttered, as he gave the signal that he was turning left to let the other pass it by. When he has driven to the slow lane, he absolutely shock to find that the other car was still right behind him!

They were attending a rehearsal at night for a play (I cannot remember maybe it was Shakespeare) on campus. After the rehearsal, the three of them was walking back from the campus and it was quiet dark night with the lamp which was spaced far apart posts providing the lights on the campus. Kavitha and Vickki was walking with Rosie lagging behind. The two girls turned back and asked Rosie to walk faster. When they turned back impatiently when they notice that Rosie was walking behind them and she was looking strangely at something behind her.

Kavitha and Vickki then shouted at Rosie to keep up with them as Rosie seemed to be falling behind them. Rosie suddenly shouted in a terrified voice at the two girls, “Run…just run!” Both of the girls together with Rosie just took off thinking it must be snatch thieves or even a rapist. 

Then must have ran over a half kilometer before they reached the guard house. They were panting heavily and completely out of breath and when they have recovered sufficiently they asked her what was about.

“You meant you didn’t see them?” said a still panting Rosie to her two friends. Rosie then told them that she saw an older gentleman who was on the parked wooden bench smoking a pipe and he seemed to be lost in thoughts. Then suddenly he walked away on the same foot path they were on.

Linda house was located at a slightly elevated locations and Dereck found his motorcycle slowing down drastically. He was wondering why was that, either the motorcycle was underpowered, or maybe the bags of porridge was too heavy or maybe Linda suddenly put on weight (ha! ha!  joking-lah about reason 3). He casually glanced at his rear mirror and …bulu sudah naik…he saw a woman sitting beside Linda! The woman was dressed in white blouse and had long thick fuzzy hair and she was smiling at him…and it seemed that Linda was unaware of the strange woman sitting beside her! Oh God! He was absolutely scared to death.
