Since it's Hungry Ghost Festival now. Let's pay a tribute to the other side of the world. :)
I think many of you are aware that the housing area next to SMP was infamous as a haunted area by now. A Malay man used to tell us that a lot of people were killed or committed suicide in that area during Second World War. The house I used to live had two trees (one in front and one at the back). Both were suicide spots for 2 Malay ladies. I wonder whether the current occupants of the houses in that area still encounter anything abnormal. Maybe the ghosts are more scared of human now. Imagining how bad human behaves these days. Any idea?
In the 80s, there were also some houses in Taman Perlis known to be haunted. Those houses are still being occupied today. I wonder what has happened to the ghosts?
At Jalan Raja Syed Alwi, I also heard about a haunted shophouse not far away from a former Chinese temple (I think the temple is gone now). During Hungry Ghost Festival, the occupants often heard people knocking on their back door. I think there was a suicide case before in that shophouse.
In the Kangar town, there was a shop that exploded before I was born. I still remember my former tuition teacher told me that he narrowly escaped from the explosion by firecrackers sold in the shop - as he just walked out of the shop, the shop exploded and his friend died in the incident. I wonder whether there's anything funny in that area. I am aware of the exact spot. It's not far from CC's shop.
The junction near the Kangar General Hospital where the traffic light was located, it was known to be haunted too. It was known to be an accident hot spot many years ago before the traffic light existed. Someone claimed that he saw the "thing" at the junction during a rainy day.
Please share your stories if you have any.
