Spooky Grandmas’ Stories

Spooky Grandmas’ Stories

The special ties and bonds that grandparents have for their grandchildren are probably one of the greatest cherish relationship of all. I have for you 2 very special, touching but eerie stories about grandmas when they have passed away.

Pearl was only about 7 years old (mid 1970s) at that time and her grandma was coming from Terengganu in two weeks’ time for Pearl’s birthday. However shortly before Pearl’s grandma can make the trip to Malacca, she passed away suddenly but peacefully.

Pearl’s parents had to rushed down to Terengganu to prepare for Pearl’s grandma funeral. Pearl was not allowed to go because she had to go to school and maybe Pearl’s parents did not want Pearl to face heartbreak of her grandma’s funeral.

After Pearl’s parents got back from the funeral, they noticed that Pearl was still distressed about her grandmother’s sudden death. Pearl had not wanted a birthday party that year but her parents persuaded her to have a small celebration in their house.

That night after the celebration, after presents from her family, she walked to the living room when the old dialing phone (or rotary phone) started to ring continuously. Pearl tried to look for her parents but realized they were at the back in the kitchen.

Unexplainable Incidents

Unexplainable Incidents

Have you encountered a weird and strange incident that defies a logical scientific or common sense explanation? An unnatural phenomenal that one cannot understand…unless its an act from the supernatural, ghostly, guardian angel or even a ‘time-warp’. These are 3 different encounters and these are their stories.

Story 1

Daryl Ho, aged 17 at that time, was returning home after soccer practice with friends that evening. Daryl was rushing home and upon reaching the road cross junction, he hurriedly look to make sure that were no cars. He rode his bicycle across the deserted junction when he suddenly heard a voice yelling from inside his head, “STOP”.

Daryl was so shocked that he hurriedly applied the emergency brake on his bicycle and he stumbled crashing on the side of the road. At the exact same time, the BMW car sped at very high speed sweeping across the road without even stopping. The very fast travelling BMW missed hitting Daryl by mere centimeters.  

Daryl always wondered whether he actually heard the mysterious voice asking him to stop and avoid hitting the speeding vehicle….

2^nd Story

Clare and her cousin Vicky were both from Perak but they took the train to Singapore. Clare had an interview from a company and tomboyish Vicky was there to provide some moral support.

When Clare was finished with the job interview, she noticed that Vicki had on her hairpin. She casually asked her cousin for her hairpin back. Vicky was a bit defensive and she retorted, “I will return hairpin to you when I am done with it”.

There are Ghosts Even in Daytime!

There are Ghosts Even in Daytime!

Do you know that there are ghosts even during day time! Although ghosts are believe to be more aggressive at nights but some people some believe ghosts exist even during the day.

The Heng family moved to a house at Bayan Lepas in the island state of Penang and they found that something were terribly wrong with the house. They heard strange weird voices and saw uncanny things during the night and even during daytime. (They specially stated that their address cannot be disclosed as they hope to sell their property)

During the nights, they found the lights were continuously turned off. Even the electricians say that could not find anything wrong with the electrical wiring. They also found that when they woke up the next morning, in the store room beside the kitchen, there was a strong smell of someone smoking (none of the Hengs’ smoke) and also a stench of perspiration or sweat. Their family cat, Missy, seemed to be highly agitated or strung-out, shriek and hissed staring intently at empty space. The incident with Missy occurred many times not only night time but also during day time. In fact, the incidents frightened Missy (the ‘Fraidy Cat’) so much, she disappeared and left home for good, never to be seen again!

To make it worse, the inexplicable acts happened even the daytime. Once, Mindy, the youngest daughter left her laptop in the living room while she was taking a shower. When she got back her mother complained (aiyoo!) that her lunch was getting cold.

Wall Clock in the Living Room

As she was getting ready to have lunch, the wall clock facing directly in the living room suddenly fell crashing onto the floor. The curtains were all closed and there were no wind.

Weird House Pets

Weird House Pets

Weird, spooky tales & encounters about departed/dead common house pets like a cat or a dog.

Anita, 12 years old, and her family lives in a suburb of Alor Setar in the state of Kedah. One night Anita and her younger brother, Nor 9 years, had to eat dinner before their parents went out to do their weekly grocery shopping at some nearby stores.

After dinner, Anita and Nor were lazily sitting in the living room watching TV. While they were watching TV, Anita notice a black shadow flashed with lightning speed past the TV screen and out their front door. Totally shocked Anita only saw that it was only about knee-high, a black shadow streaking past them between where they were sitting and the TV screen.

Anita looked at her younger brother who had his mouth wide opened staring at the empty space, then he asked, “Did you see that?” Anita trying to be brave but managed to say it must be some kind shadow caused by car lights.

Somewhat consoled or comforted about the ridiculous reason given by his sister, they both went back to their TV program. Suddenly Anita realized that their cat was not there and she asked Nor whether he has seen their cat. Nor looked around the living room and shook his head.

Typical House Cat

It was slightly strange because the cat generally follow them whenever they are home. They shouted their cat’s name as they looked at the inside of the house without success.  Then they rushed upstairs and finally found their old cat in their bedroom….lifeless but with the body still warm.

Was it a coincidence that their cat has died at the same time they saw the black shadow streaked pass in the living room? …Spooky.

Is Desa Rejang flats really haunted?

An old woman was surprised at the sound of mysterious crying at their flat….

Desa Rejang consists of several blocks of low-cost flats owned by City Hall of Kuala Lumpur in Setapak and completed in 2008. Present residents are from Pekililing and Sentul low-cost flats which were demolished to make way for more ‘lucrative’ developments.

Desa Rejang flats in Setapak

Madam Ting lives with her husband in an upper unit there, now that her children are married and lived with their own families in their suburbs. One of the neighbours, Chu Yoke, her mother and her brother live just beside the Tings. Chu Yoke, a mid-30s, used to work as a helper for a poultry market stall nearby. Madam Ting knows the whole family but not so well as they were neighbours even in their previous flats.

Chu Yoke’s mother died a couple of years ago and Chu Yoke seemed to take her mother’s death very badly. She lost her job and she spent her time inside their flat. Madam Ting and other neighbours used to bring her some simple food (left on her doorstep}.

One day Madam Ting overheard Chu Yoke’s brother shouting and complaining at Chu Yoke for taking the neighbours food. Chu Yoke countered that she has no food to eat and her brother was not around much. After the angry spat between her brother and Chu Yoke, she refused the little food from the neighbours and simply locked herself in the little flat.

One night, Madam Ting was washing the dishes in the small adjacent kitchen (which was beside Chu Yoke’s flat) when she heard loud crying and mourning sound (as if someone was crying). There was also a strong smell of rotting food or maybe a dead rat in block in the flat. She quickly got out of their unit and looked around the neighbours’ flats. Then she looked at Chu Yoke’s flat with the window and door firmly which were closed shut with the food left in her door. Yet she was quiet sure that it was probably Chu Yoke crying.

Madam Ting’s husband got out of the flat and angrily ushered Madam Ting back into their unit asking her not to be so busy-body or nosey. Madam Ting’s husband then firmly shut the window and the front door of their flat.

Spookiest Jobs

Spookiest Jobs

The two spookiest jobs are arguably the police and the mortuary because of deaths and because it sometimes involve the ghostly paranormal activities of the unknowns. This involves incident about a mortuary and the police.

Sheila is student living from India when we were students living in the United States. We used to organize dinners living in the dormitories. During our chats about practically everything, she mentioned that she never saw any strange happenings while living in India. However she received disturbing news about an uncle (her mother’s elder brother) who is a doctor works at a mortuary in a Government hospital.

Sheila’s uncle was conduction a post mortem on a teenage girl who was badly mangled during a car accident. His uncle’s medical assistant had moved to the other room temporary and he was looking at some papers when at the corner of his eyes saw the corpse moving.

In a split second he rapidly faced the direction of the corpse and found the mangled body was sitting face up and she was staring at him and she was smiling! The cries from Sheila’s uncle attracted the medical assistant where he found the doctor shivering on the floor. He did not find anything unusual, as the corpse was lying on the table.

The second incident was when Shukri was called to a car incident in the night. Shukri is a traffic policeman and he was called to an accident in the outskirt of Kuantan in Pahang.
