Laughing Pontianaks 10 June 1998 Story by fArRa97 of Alor Setar, Malaysia. Edited by Will Ong This is another story that happened near the tunnel on North-South Highway, Malaysia. (See the other story: Highway Nightmare) It was about 2a.m when my uncle was driving a car with my mother at his side. There were hardly any cars on the road that night. The two of them were chatting to each other when suddenly they sensed something strange. Their car was approaching the tunnel when suddenly something caught my mother's eyes. She saw two women wearing 'baju kurung' (Malay traditional costume) on top of the tunnel entrance. They were chatting and giggling happily. My uncle stopped his car to see what would have happened next. The two women just continued their chatting and ignored my uncle and mother. The two women were properly dressed and looked like any common women. A few minutes later, they sensed things weren't right so my uncle started his engine and drove away before anything happened. My mother believed that the two women were 'pontianak'. Luckily, they didn't do any harm to my uncle and my mother. Back to TOP

Bizarre House 10 June 1998 There is a pre-war house situated along Macalister Road, Penang. Next to a mosque in the city's prime area, it is still being occupied by several poor families. Some years back, a local daily reported some unexplained phenomena happening in that house. After midnight, all bizarre things will happen. The daily showed pictures of wet towels being lit up in fire, eggs seen dropping from the ceiling and clothes in buckets of water lit up as if they were soaked in kerosene. Residents also report cases of waking up in the morning to find their bicycles on the top floor and clothes in the bucket all hanged up on the lines. Nobody, however, claimed to have seen any ghost around the decaying building. A resident claimed that all these strange activities would stop once the morning prayer from the mosque next door started. Back to TOP
