Haunted Toilet In Ipoh Parade

This is a story contributed by my friend. He also heard from someone else. It was rumoured that Ipoh Parade's toilet is haunted, i mean the one in the cinema. The lady's toilet is always rumoured with ghost stories. From what I heard, there was this lady who went into a cubicle and did her business. She saw a pair of legs standing right in front of her cubicle and when she opened the door, she saw no one. Another story is that a lady who finished doing her business, washed her hands. Then from the big mirror, she saw a head, apparently, a female head flew behind her. So scary huh?

Hide and Seek in Adrian Tsen Pavillion

This is a story by my friend who was in the Michaelian Military Band. U see, there is a big pavillion on the far left hand side of the main building of the school. It is attached to the left wing of St Michael. This pavilion is called Adrian Tsen Pavilion, thanks to Mr Adrian Tsen who contributed huge amount of money to construct this pavilion, This pavilion is a site for students to line up and wait for the school to start. It also turn into a haunted ground at night. This story happened few years back when the military band had to stay over in school. Many band members were in the school classroom and they got the idea of playing hide and seek in the school. There will be punishments for the student who cannot find all of those who were hiding. This boy, started to look for his friends when the game started. His friends hide in the entire school so this boy took some time to find all of them. When he was about to look for the last one hiding, he couldnt locate where this boy was so he went to this pavilion. It was so dark in the pavilion at night and it is facing the school field, making it more creepy. Only lights from road lamp posts made it visible with dim lights. This boy went to pavilion and started to look for the last boy. Then, he saw something, precisely someone...squatting down with the back facing him. He thought it was his friend and when he was about to tap his back, all of his friends called for him. He went away and saw everyone was there, calling for him, including the last boy that he wanted to look for. He was suprised. The last boy asked why he didnt look for him and so they went to look for this boy. This boy asked whether he got hide himself in the pavilion. The boy denied and in fact, everyone denied of going to the pavilion. No one had ever been there that night. Those boys knew the pavilion is haunted and therefore, all of them knew 'who' was actually hiding in the pavilion that night. Maybe just a lonely spirit who wanted to join their game. :)

Scary Marian Library

St Michael Institution, my alma mater has an old library with very old books. This library has a name, we call it Marian Library. The icon of this library would be The Falcon and The Falconer. It is a statue of a man holding a flying falcon. There was this old man, with hunch back and he had been serving for our school for decades. He is a very old Chinese man and works in the office. This man has passed away. I still remember when I was in my lower form, he will walk around the school and when we greet him, he barely answer. Maybe because he was too tired and not because he was reluctant to answer. I still remember that he went back by taxi everyday. I heard that he was single and has no family. A tribute to him, he had served the school to the very end of his life. He was like a guard in the school many years back. Many years back, the school library would be opened for students to come back late at night to do revision just like Sam Tet High School. However, a scary incident made the school authority to close the entire school after sunset. Here it goes, this old man who was young that time, used to patrol in the school and even checked the Marian Library every night. One night, when he was doing his normal routine, he saw something moved in the library. When he took a loser look, it was the statue (Falcon and The Falconer) running in the library. He got the shock of his life and ran from the library. Since the incident, he became hunch back and the library is now closed at night to hinder people from seeing this statue running again.

Packed Lift in Genting?

This is a story told by my sister, she was working in genting and knew this boy who happened to hv special ability to see and hear ghosts. His mother who has the same ability able to close his Heaven Sight but his hearing ability cannot be closed. From tht moment onwards, this boy can hear people whispering or gasping for air heavily. This story begins when this boy and his 7 other friends were in Genting Highlands. One of his friend, a girl who can see ghosts also was in the group. All of them went into a lift to go to higher floors. As soon as they went in, the lift starts to warn for heavy lifting. Ding Ding Ding....although only 8 of them in the lift. The instruction in the lift states that the maximum number of people that can accomodate a lift is 21 people. You know what i mean...it is believed that if u encounter sch unexplainable situations, do not tell right on the spot. This is what one of the girls did. She was freak out and keep on saying 'what happened? why like that? so scary!' The boy and the girl who can see ghosts ask her to shush but she still keep on repeating the same sentence. They left the lift and scolded the girl for being so talkative-about-ghost. That very night, the girl dreamed of many ghosts chasing after her.

Wicked Laugh During Funeral

Erm, this story is about my family. This is a story about my great grandparents of my maternal side. Here it goes, my great grandpa and my great grandma were not so happy together. They lived in separate houses. My grandpa and his siblings always had difficulties and finally, one day, my great grandpa passed away. Before he passed away, he told his children not to mourn for their mother's death (my great grandma) after she die. The children just reluctantly agreed because they do not wanna disappoint him. Then, my great grandpa just moved on. It is a must for the Chinese to mourn for their parents death, in fact for 3 years. During mourning, they cannot celebrate Chinese New Year, visit others house and cannot get married. Filial children will wear white cloth during funeral. Ladies will wear a straw like hat to mourn, males will tie white cloth on the head. Not long after that, my great grandma passed away too. That time, i was still a small kid and i wasnt allowed to go to the funeral. The following story is told by my mother. My mum and dad went to the funeral and my grandpa siblings decided to wear the straw like hat to mourn for their mother. My grandpa insisted that they obey my great grandpa last will but out of love for their mother, the sisters insisted to mourn for their mother. Suddenly, the sky turned dark and wind was blowing s strong. All the relatives present were so shocked to see a sudden change of weather. Thunderstorm arrived and wind blew so strongly. My mum, dad, uncles and aunts were so shocked to see this, in fact, everyone was stunned. Then, my mum and uncles heard someone was giggling behind the bushes. The wicked giggling and evil laugh isnt human and they were in horror. The ladies who saw the sudden change of weather and evil laugh behind bushes, quickly took off the straw like hat and threw them on ground. The weather changed back to normal and the evil laugh stopped. Everyone was so shocked and was unbelievable of what just happened. Then, they went to the neighbour and asked them about the weather change. All the neighbour denied of the weather change and said that the weather was fine the whole day. After i listen to my mum, i think that the one hiding behind the bushes was actually my great grandpa, letting out evil laugh and punishing the children for not listening to his last will. My mum still remember this incident clearly, anyone who attended the funeral actually did. Maybe those of u who read this might find it unbelievable but this is a true story.

The Offerings

The Chinese believe that by burning offerings to the dead, the dead will somehow receive these offerings in the other realm. How true is that, no one actually can explain. Maybe some who read this will say bullshit or it is just air polluting. However, Im a Chinese and I believe in this tradition. The Chinese have invented offerings like houses, cars, DVD player, jewelery, maids and lots more. Ancient Chinese burned hell notes only but as life is modernized, modern Chinese burned many different type of things for the deceased. It is believed that when offerings are being burnt, there must be silence. Not a single word is uttered and this is to avoid offending the nearby spirits. Normally, Chinese burn the offerings during Qing Ming Festival for ancestors or during Hungry Ghosts Festival. I remember my neighbour told me that a friend of hers, has a grandchild. The grandchild is very young. As you know, kids always see something that the adults cannot see. Their eyes are pure and are known as Heaven Eye. As u grow older, this ability is lost but some can retain this gift. Here it goes, the grandma was burning the offerings during Hungry Ghost Festival. Then this small kid came out of the house and went to his grandma. He asked gently 'Popo, popo, why are the uncles and aunties grab paper from the ashes and put in their pocket?' The grandma was stunned and asked the kid to keep quiet. Kids dont lie and these ghosts actually received the offerings from the burnt hell note.

Haunted Rented Room

This incident happened to my neighbour's daughter. She went to KL with her friend and together, they rented this room with low price. They started to feel something is wrong in the room because they can feel another presence in the room. Someone is looking at them, all the time. When she took shower, she felt like someone is watching her but she just cannot tell. The door is locked and it is impossible for anyone to peep her and gave her such a strong spine chilling feel. When they cook, they placed eggs on the table and after a moment, the eggs are placed somewhere else. The girls swear that they did not touch the eggs at all. The final straw is when her friend was watching TV alone. When she was watching TV at night, she felt someone was touching her shoulder and the hand is very icy cool. When she turned her head to see who it was, she saw a man, smiling at her. Calmly, she let out all her 'holy words' !@%^(**&##$%@&(**(*^**)((XXXFXXXK&&*(##@ the man quickly disappear from her sight. The girls now moved out from the room already. It is said that you have to say bad words, as worst as you can to scare 'them' away and it really worked!

Haunted Hotel Room

This story is not my personal encounter but it is an encounter of a male celebrity of a TV show. This guy went outstation with his friend and stayed overnight in a hotel but each took a room. At night, after work, this celebrity and his friend went back to their respective rooms and took rest. Then, this celebrity heard someone rang the bell. He peeped via the door hole and saw no one. He thought maybe it was his friend who played a prank on him. Ignoring the ringing of the bell, he went to bed. However, the bell kept ringing and he couldnt take it. He opened the door and shouted but there wasnt anyone at his door. He still thought that it was his friend but despite being tired, he didnt care and went to bed. In the middle of his sleep, he was partially awake in midnight and saw something standing at his balcony. The window is glass-type and is a sliding window where he can see anything outside clearly. He saw a lady in white robe and long black hair standing at his balcony. He thought it was a dream but tried hard to look at the figure. It is impossible for someone to be standing there because his room isnt at ground floor. It is several floors above ground. When he tried hard to look at her, the lady slowly float in, passing through the glass window. This guy was so shocked and was awake completely. The lady sat next to him and asked him in a harsh and manly voice 'I was ringing the bell, why din u let me in?' The guy was so scared that he covered himself with the blanket. The voice faded away and he thought everything was fine. Just when he uncovered himself, the lady was again next to him, this time just an inch or two away from his face. The lady was pale and she even touched the hand of the celebrity. Her hand was so icy and this guy was so freaked out. He ran out of his room and flee to his friend's room to sleep with his friend. He didnt tell his friend about the lady until they checked out. According to the receptionist, there was a lady who committed suicide years ago due to love failure. Her spirit still haunt the room.

Haunted Hotel In Thailand

This is not my personal encounter and i wish it will never be! I learned this story from a TV show about a celebrity who went to Thailand for work. Erm, this story is a bit scary so before i continue, if anyone would like to navigate away, plz do so. She stayed in a hotel room together with a female colleague. They were tired that night and went straight to bed. When they were sleeping, they heard noise from the next room. Noise like people were renovating the room, pulling chair and scratching the wall. The ladies were annoyed and called counter to complain. The worker told them that the next room is vacant and the noise they heard probably from nearby construction site. They couldnt believe and denied that it is impossible for the construction work to begin at that hour. It was midnight. After convincing them that the next room is vacant, they went back to bed. Not long after that, the noise begin again and this time the ladies cannot take it. They went to the next room and banged the door asking the people inside to keep quiet. This time, the noise stopped. The girls warn the people in the 'vacant' room before going back to their room. When they were preparing to sleep again, the noise start again and the ladies were furious. They went to the next room and banged the door again, The noise stopped again. The ladies still refuse to go and decided to peep if anyone was inside the room at the bottom of the door. There is a space where the ladies can see right into the room but only the ground part. When they were busy peeping, suddenly, they saw a woman in the room peeped back to them. The woman's eyes were bleeding. The ladies were so shocked that they screamed and ran back to their room. The next day, when they signed out, they learned that there was this woman, got killed by her lover years ago. When she was dying, she was scratching the wall to seek help from the people living next room. After the murder case, the room is haunted.

Ghost Encounter In NS

We have often heard so many stories in NS and some are so scary that we do not dare to pee alone at night. I have been to NS and did not meet any ghost even though my camp is in remote area. I went to Kem Segari in Manjung, next to Malayan Flour Factory. Here are some stories I would like to share and is regarding NS camps.

1. The first story is about my camp. There is this rule that the girls cannot throw their pad in the toilet and in the dustbin but somehow the girls manage to throw it without breaking the rules...dun ask me how, i dunno...lol...Sorry, girls XP. It is said to be hygienic and is true indeed. However I found out the real reason for this rule when a fren told me this. Years ago, this rule was not implemented and girls can throw their pads in the dustbin next to the toilet. However, something happened one night that made this rule to be implemented. A Malay female trainer was patrolling at night and went to the toilet to see if anyone was hiding in the toilet and refuse to sleep ( who would? ). What she saw next freaked her out...She saw a lady in white with very very long hair next to the toilet. She was sucking something from the dustbin and when she took a closer look, she saw it was girl's pad with blood. After this incident, this rule is implemented to avoid luring pontianak to the camp. Pontianak are legendary females in Malay myth and they suck blood, something like vampire. Sorry again to girls who read this, i know its sensitive but just to share some stories here...lol

2. Another story was contributed by my classmate, Su Ann aka Penguin. She was recruited in NS oso but not my camp. Normally, she will wash her clothes when the Malays go for prayers, early in morning, like 5 something. It was as usual when she went to wash her clothes and after she finished her task, she was walking back to her dormitory. On the way back, she had to cross a path there was this heavy bushes at the side of the path...something like small jungle. Hahah. On her way back, she saw a Malay girl was hiding in the bushes. She judged it was a Malay girl due to her attire. The girl was wearing tudung and my fren couldnt see clearly as it was so dark. The Malay girl was looking at her and this girl, guess what...she was faceless. My fren who just woke up did not sense anything amiss and went back to dorm to take a nap. When she woke up again, then only she realized that the Malay girl was faceless.

3.This story happened in my camp and I sort of experienced it too. It happened in guys' dormitory at night. It was an early night and was noisy too...u know la, guys ma. It was around 8 something and we were alerted by woman's voice. I remember the woman said in Cantonese 'where am i?' loudly. Shocked to hear woman's voice in guys dormitory, we went out to look if any chicks got in but it is impossible, the guards are guarding the dorm strictly. Impossible for any girls to come in. It is not echo also because girls dorm is kinda far from ours. All the guys came out to see but saw no woman or girl.

4. It is compulsory for all to patrol the camp every night but with shifts. The trainers want us to patrol in pair and asked us not to point the torch at the roof because u might see something scary, looking back to u.

Another Na Du Gong Encounter

This incident happened to a fren of my fren...lolx. I remember this story when we were sharing ghost stories in NS and my fren, Vincent told me this. He told me that a fren of his was playing games until the wee hours and it was very late already probably 2 or 3 am in the morning. He was so tired and went out to the balcony to take some fresh air. When he was in the balcony, he saw an old man in white dress walking at a high speed which is impossible for a human being. The speed was very fast and compatible to a car. He was so shocked to see the old man and became paranoid after that. A relative of his is a medium and helped him to seek an answer of what he saw that morning. The medium was possessed and it was Na Du Gong who possessed her. The deity told this guy not to be afraid and said that he was speeding because he was in hurry to get his coconut juice...XD cute

Na Du Gong Encounter In Cameron Highland

This story I learned from a friend of mine in NS. We were sharing ghost story when he suddenly came up with his personal encounter with this deity. It is believed that Na Du Gong always show Himself in remote places particularly, hill areas and Cameron Highland is the best place. Many residents have claimed to have seen this deity in that area.It was late at night and my friend was heading home. His house is located at a sloppy area where he has to park his car and walk up to his house. It is sloppy that the car cannot park right in front the house. Therefore, at that very night, he parked his car as usual and got off. When he was about to walk up back to his house, he saw an old man from far and dressed in white. The old man looked so friendly and not scary but the only thing that freaked him out was that this old man was actually floating. He was so freak out that he ran back home and covered himself with a blanket. The next day, he saw the newspaper and found out that his car plate number strike the first prize but he din buy the lottery number. When he revealed this incident to his mother, his mother told him that the old man is Na Du Gong and blamed him for not telling her earlier, otherwise, she would have bought the car plate number. Probably, the deity felt sorry for freaking him out and let his car plate number to strike the first prize.

Deity Encounter

Well, first of all, this is not a ghost story but is deity encounter. This incident happened to my mother many years back when she was around 8 or 9 years old. My mother is turning 50 this year. She started to work when she was very young. In fact, she worked when she was 8 years old. My mother had a poverty yet happy life. She had to help my mother back in the rubber estates. Back then, my mother and my aunt were helping my grandmother in the estate because both of them are the eldest. They will set out to work early in the morning when it is still very dark. The weather was cold that very morning and surrounding was dark. In the estate, my mother, grandmother and aunt were preparing to tap the rubber tree. When my mother was doing her work, she looked up and saw a big white cloth flew above her. After that, she became sick for 3 weeks without any reason. My grandparents brought her to see doctor but to no avail. Desperate to help my mother, my grandmother brought her to see a medium. The medium told them that whatever my mother saw that morning isn't something dirty and told them not to worry. The medium said that the white cloth that my mother saw belongs to a deity which is familiar to the Southeast Asia Chinese, Na Du Gong. According to local belief, Na Du Gong is a Muslim but due to His good deeds, the local Chinese worship Him and offer Him coffee, coconut juice and Halal food. It is believed that this deity helps His disciple to strike lottery number and protect them from danger. My mother got heal soon after seeing the medium.
