Absolute Spook

My ‘kampung’ is in Kedah. Next to my grandpa’s house, there a small ‘jungle’. It has been left since long time ago. Rumour has it that there’s someone or rather ‘something’ in staying in there.

I have a cousin brother staying near by my grandpa. He is one who loves to run around. One day he decided to explore the ‘jungle’. Out of so many hours of the day he picked 5 something in the evening. Older people believe that once the sun starts to set, those ‘things’ start to roam the Earth.

So into the ‘jungle’ he went. I don’t know where he find the guts to go into that place alone. He checked the place out for about 30 minutes and decided to leave the place since there’s nothing much to see. When he turned around to leave, he thought he saw something moving at the corner of his eyes. Not giving it much thought, he started walking out from the jungle but again, he saw black shadow moving. He looked around to see who or what that was but couldn’t see a single soul. He then get a shock of his life when he saw a pair of red eyes staring right at him. That ‘thing’ was at least 10ft tall with fiery red eyes and it was staring right at him. He then ran like he never run in his life, without looking back until he reach his house.

About 2 months before this incident, the people of that place did try to clear the little ‘jungle’ with a bulldozer. But everytime the bulldozer gets near to that place, the engine just seemed to die. One of the bulldozers blade even broke.

The ‘thing’ that my cousin saw, according to the Malays it is known as penunggu….
