Absolute Spook

Archive for November, 2008

This happened about many years ago in my old house, but I can still remember clearly how it happened as if it were just last night.

I was sleeping in our room (with my dad+mum+sis). As most people who wake up in the middle of night, the one thing they do is to pee. I woke up, but ain’t sure at what time it was, and wanted to get off the bed. As I was sleeping near the side of the bed, I shifted my body towards the side of the bed, my body still lying vertically on the bed ( I hope u guys can imagine my body position), I needed to look on the floor to determine where to put my feet on the ground since the room is dimly lit. Facing the floor, with my body still lying on the bed, I saw a white face, woman in 20s, eyes closed, lying down there. It’s like her lower body in under my bed, and only her head came out. Her face is like 30cm away from my face, I was on top and she was below.

I thought I was seeing things and thought it was my mum. She sometimes sleep on the floor beside the bed when my parents quarrel.

I turned back, thinking it was my mum. Then I think again, last night there wasn’t any quarrel, why does she sleeps there? So I don’t care and turn my body back to see the floor, OMG NO ONE IS THERE ANYMORE!!

I dint pee, I just slept till next morning.

Something a little about my own experience now. I am sure many of you faced more of these spookiness while you were all young. It all began when I was a little kid barely 5 or 6 years old. Those days my uncle forced me to watch scary movies and horror movies. Well, I was frigtened at first. Yes, so frightened that time.

When I went to sleep, before I even walked to my bed, I would check what’s under the bed to ensure that nothing’s under it while the light was on. But alas, when the light was off, the eerieness came back to me. I felt like there’s something moving below the bed. I don’t know how to describe it, but the room was cold. Don’t know whether it was the fan or just that the surrounding was cold. Then I heard a knock from under the bed. I was living on top a house that has wood and plank above the floor, I just pushed it off as a rat but the sound kept going on and on.

I begin to cry silently and took my blanket and cover my whole body. I didn’t dare to look or peek at anything. Then after that I slept until the next morning. Somehow it has been instil upon me now, cause now I found out that when I sleep, I can use a blanket to cover the whole me. Habitual or coincidental. I don’t know. Maybe is time you look what’s under your bed!!

My first post on this blog (not long ago) is about my own encounter during national service. In this post, I’ll share a story, not my own encounter but from my National Service dorm mate. Before I start let me explain a little on the surroundings of the camp. It is surrounded in the middle of a jungle. On the left, there’s the thick jungle. On the right there’s palm oil plantation. In front there’s a hill. Our female dorm is located in front of the male dorm but it was blocked by concrete wall. So the male dorm is exactly in front of the hill…

She is a devoted Muslim. Everyday she’ll get out of bed around 4.30am to bath then perform her ’subuh’ prayer. That’s her routine for the 1st 2 months during National Service. However, things change after she saw something that is unexplainable…

As usual, she gets up at 4.30am. After she gathered all her things, she began walking to the bathroom (which is located behind our dorm). Once she stepped out from the dorm, she saw something float pass at her right eye corner. She turned to look at it. As it was moving quite fast, she thought it was kids toys like remote control helicopter or something.

After a while, she realised that there’s no kid in the camp area. So what could it be? As soon as she finish that thought, the ‘thing’ that she saw floating pass just now, returned the way it came. She take a second look at it and realised that ‘thing’ it was what the Malays call Langsuir. She moved back into the dorm without second thought.

Thank God the langsuir didn’t do anything to her. But ever since that day, she no longer go to the bathroom at 4.30am alone…

Note: Langsuir is believed to be a person who practices black magic. They can separate their head from body and are after newborn babies… In the older days, it is said that langsuir will linger outside houses where mothers are giving birth and will snatch babies as soon as they are born… and if they don’t get back to their body by sunrise, they’ll die. Another way to put an end to them is to turn their body face down so their head cannot fit onto their body, then they’ll eventually die…
