Movie became real? BY Miika Y
FYI, I am not a sucker for horror movie but I do "read" the stories.
Never in my life I ever wanted to experience any of these experience. Until now, I am still afraid of the beings.
Anyway, this happened back in 2006, I was in Form 1 S/C (Now I am in form 5). It happened to my close friends and I. It was the last day of exam, and I brought my hand phone with me. So, we had an hour or more to "kill" so we decided to make a movie. My friend, A, suggested to make a ghost story. I unanimously agreed.
We started planning about the movie and acted on that day itself using my mobile phone camera at THE TOILET. I know, but the TOILET seems to be our hang out spot. The shooting went well and a lot of hilarious things happened. At night, I watched the video before showing them. At first, nothing much happened, but at about 5 minutes later, I realized something wrong in the movie. Yes, like what you think, a white figure in one of the toilet. I was shaking yet I tried to think positively, thinking that it was just the quality of my camera.
I showed it to my friends on the next day. Unsurprisingly, they were surprised. Yet, we did not bothered about it. We made another video. A comedy-horror movie. And yes, the same thing happened, a red "spot" on A's eyes, who acted as the vampire. I was thinking that it might be an effect from my phone. But, no, there's something else at the back of one of my friends, S. A white figure, with long hair. All of us decided to stop the "movie production". I did not delete the videos we made. Right after we stopped the production, the next day, A, was being disturbed by something. And the next day, the next "important actress" in the movie was disturbed too, and followed by the next and I was the last one being disturbed. Knockings on the windows, running white figure, foot steps.
And the next day, all of us experienced at the same time. Someone talking on the phone inside one of the toilet. At first, we thought it was the workers, or perhaps teachers. But NO! That "someone" talked in Malay, Chinese, Tagalog, Thai, you name it. We waited for that "someone" to come out (for your info, since the FY Exam finished, we could attend classes or not to attend them as teachers will be busy), but no one came out. So, S, decided to open the door. It was locked. We became curious. More over, it was the only "occupied" toilet. And then, one of the cleaner came in. S decided to ask the cleaner whether that toilet is broken or something. The cleaner told us that it's locked and can not be opened for the past few days (and fyi, we did not even realized that!). We were afraid and kept these stories by our self. I deleted the videos. And yes, sometimes, the beings do disturb us but we ignored it.
Thanks for reading my boring story. I don't think there is something you can learn from here other than... do not make such videos. Have a good day people!

Haunted Room BY J.
let me just go straight to the story.
my cousin, B, is one of those with lamah semangat. i got this story from her. this story happened about 3 years ago. it was after my aunt's wedding ceremony. the ceremony itself was held on the last week of school holidays. B, and my other cousin A, were the only ones left for another sleepover at my grandparents' because at that time, they had already finished school and haven't got any jobs yet. the other cousins(including me) had gone to our respective homes since school reopened.
one night, when both of them were about to sleep, suddenly they felt something bouncing/jumping at the center of the king-sized bed. B thought A mengigau so ia biarkan saja. then things get a little too scary. she freaked out and hides inside her blanket. ia baca-baca surah lah dalam hatinya. and then the bouncing stopped. she could feel the center of the bed(which was empty at first) beisi. someone was lying there. and then she heard the sound of heavy breathing, macam bunyi urang kengalihan which lasted for god knows how long. after a while, the sound stopped. B then slowly opened her blanket and to her suprise, A was already beside her, looking at her, half inside her blanket. the room was only lightened up by a dim light so it was quite dark. B mouthed "did you feel that?" nodding. A looked at her and nodded slowly. B then went back inside her blanket. she then fell asleep. the next morning, riuh lah A sama B. they asked each other "was it you? mengigau kau semalam??" but both of them denied. A told B she was also scared. she felt someone was lying beside her but the body was strangely hard. but she kept in mind that that was A and didn't want to think of anything else. she, too, eventually fell asleep.
they told the story to my aunts. they said, andangnya tu. bilik atu andang beisi. scary at first, because we always sleep at that room during our sleepovers. after years baru tah tau bilik tu haunted.
years gone by and the story was slowly forgotten.
early this year, my three cousins(A, B and U) and i held a small gathering. we shared some ghost stories and then cerita atu suddenly durang terecall semula. B was laughing it off because according to her, it was scary and stupid at the same time especially the part time B and A liat each other and angguk-angguk and stuff. A looked at her, suprised.
"what? when?? B, bukan aku tu eh. i swear aku sepanjang malam tu dalam selimut saja pasal aku takut wah! gila, inda ku berani kan buka selimut. biar ku bepanas sampai tetidur ah."
there was a long silence.
if that wasn't A, then who could it be?

Hantu Bungkus BY Michiyo
Apparently this happens at the hostel of Maahad Islam Brunei in Tutong. The kids who stayed there always play this prank on the other hostelians while they were sleeping. It is where one guy is wrapped with white cloths (to imitate Hantu Bungkus) while the other guys will then lead him to the room they want to carry out the pranks. A reminder for you that the guy who is playing the 'Hantu Bungkus' actually cannot see anything after being wrapped (since the prank only happens at night), hence the helpers. So the helpers will then open the victim's door and let the 'Hantu Bungkus' in and stay outside while the 'Hantu Bungkus' make some noise to wake the victim up. After all the screaming,etc happen, then the 'Hantu Bungkus' will go out and the helpers then lead him to find another victim. Basically thats how the prank works.
So there was this one time when this group of guys carried out this prank on others. They already let the 'Hantu Bungkus' in this one particular room and waited outside. As usual the 'Hantu Bungkus' came out and they started to lead him to the next room. Until another Hantu Bungkus came from their back.
"Oi! Napa kamu tinggalkan aku?!"
Turned out their 'Hantu Bungkus' friend was still in the room struggling to find his way. And the Hantu Bungkus coming with them from the start was actually God-knows-what.

Grandma's House Pt 1 BY iKen
This happened in my granma's house in Lumut, Seria. My granny's house is a single story house, the bottom part being a store and a toilet. The house is facing the main road (u kno, the road that leads to anduki if u took the old road, not the highway) and at the back of the house, is an area full of overgrown bushes, trees and whatnot. It's kind of like one of those old wooden house, kira veteran lah udah.
It was during my school holiday when i was in form 3 (can't remember which year). Now during holidays, i always stayed at my granma's to help her sell her kuihs and nasi lemak at the tamu every morning. There was only 4 of us living in the house, me, my granma, granpa and at that time, my cousin. We were quite a troublemaker during our days..Always being the subject of our granma's hockey stick wrath. So, one night, after a tiring hard day's work, we packed out things from the tamu and went straight home. I was pretty tired then that as soon as i reached home, i dozed off on the sofa in the living room..i think it was abt 8 o'clock in the evening..Normally, i'd sleep in my uncle's room..
When all of the sudden, i felt some1 shook me..not that hard, but it definately woke me up..I was groggy at that time and all i could think of was that it was my cousin who's always up 2 one of his pranks..i opened my eyes..but i saw no1..now let me describe to u abt the living rooms at granma's. The size is not that big, with only a sofa, a tea table and a big ol flatscreen (canggih kali ah nini ku ani) filling it. but the main door that lead to outside is a big sliding door..The one yg a bit tinted. I always have a problem with the sliding doors, because during the night, when the curtains are covering the sliding door,u CAN SEE the outside area because of the lighting on the veranda. so u can imagine, if a person is standing outside the doors,during at night,u only can see a black figure..shadwing the almost tranparent curtains.
This is the case that night..I saw a figure, just standing outside in the veranda..So i stood up and just stared (Letting all the information register first). Then i called out my cousin's name, with him being the usual suspect. No answer, the figure just stood there. A bit annoyed, i went for the keys to the doors..it's situated behind the tv, near to my granma's room..Then it all came rushing in..
"Eh, sapa tadi mengguyang aku atu?Kalau c shukri, cana bleh ia ada di luar beranda atu?skajap jua ia belari"..
So i took a look again outside, but this time, only the glow of the light filled the veranda..no figures..no shadows..Then,i heard sm1 called me at the kitchen..The kitchen was at the back part of the house..facing the jungle..and when u opened the kitchen door, u'll directly c the jungle because a there is a BIG window in frnt of the door (Why my granparents would want to put a window there, that i dont kno..But it CREEPS me out). So the voice kept calling me..
"Ken..Kemari ko skjap ke dapur..minum2 dulu.." (Ken, come to the kitchen for a bit..)
I looked at the clock..it was 3 in the morning..i jst stood there,looking at the door..the voice kept on calling me..i think i stood there for abt 10 minutes..all the while,hearing my name being called..and all of the sudden, it stopped. So i quickly went to my uncle's room and found my cousin, sleeping like a log..with an opened mouth, snoring..i lay on the bed beside..a bit shooked up..i wondered 2 myself..
"What if i opened that sliding door tadi?Because mati2 ku fkir c Shukri..and wat if i went 2 the kitchen just now?"
What would i see...?
After a while of thinking..i fell asleep..Now there's a lot of story regarding my granma's house..Because durang told, yg tampat atu pelintasan..There's more stories abt that place..but thats for another time..goodnyt

I was bitten by... BY a_Lee
As you all know especially MDian , macam2 happened di Hostel especially kes2 kerasukan or histeria.. ( emm masa ani masa ada kah kes2 kerasukan n histeria ani???? ) selalunya kes kerasukan ani happened time ampir2 kan exam... ( pandai memilah masa jua ah kerasukan ani .. time lain mana ia suka tuuu... )
I was one of the AJK B'DAI (Badan Dakwah Agama Islam, and I know now they change the name udah tapi nda ku ingat apa namanya.. ). So if any kerasukan or histeria happened, we, the AJK B'DAI were called to help ( Kira macam ghostbuster lah jua ). Kalau yang kersukan a2 bini2.. kami kana lagau tah ke hostel bini2. ( Hehehehe... bukan sanang kan masuk hostel bini2 ani.. boh nah jadi Devil tah ku jua ni ).
Ok Ok back to my story.... kali ada that night one of the girl kerasukan so we came lah... they bring the girl to warden pun office at the girl's hostel... there, we baca Surah Yassin and anything yang patut lah to the girl... time the girl kerasukan , macam biasa lah perangainya, meronta2 ( alah kamu ani macam nda pernah meliat orang kersukan tah pulang eh ) we hold her hand and feet and she was strong ( namanya kerasukan... kuat tah 2 ah... walaupun tah girl a2 secara physical nya nada kuat ). Sekajap2 melawan, sekajap2 diam... kali diam tia that girl so kami pun nda tah lagi hold her... duduk tah ganya that girl and kami pun baca apa2 yang patut... kali... ada tah one of our friend masuk tempat kami ani.. then ia lupa tutup pintu.. suddenly... The Girl SHOUTED at us... "TUTUP PINTU ATU!!!!" and it was not her actual voice.. more husky, apa nya orang suara parau, bukan suara bini2.. kami pun tekajut ani bah...goosebump di buat nya.... kali start tia semula mengamuknya... so we have to hold her again lah... and for me... I hold her hand... entah semana2.. SHE BITE MY FOREHAND!!!!! masa ia GIGIT my hand a2.. I could feel the FANG , and again it make me goosebump.... I can feel it that it was not her yang BITE me a2.. even though she bite me sekajap saja... but when I look at my forehand I could see it turn to greenish/purplish macam kana cubit antu nya orang sekelip mata saja.....
So that is the story from me... owh you want to know what happened to the girl??? We did call her parent on the situation and they came to take her away from the hostel even though she was not 100% cure from the histeria masa atu.. I think her parent kan bawa ia berubat and masa durang bawa ia keluar dari hostel atu it's already Subuh...
Then the next day nya, the girl came to see me and ask if I am ok.... I said YES... she told me that she did recall of bitting me and she came to found out about it from her boyfriend......
Opss lupa one more thing... this incident happened in 1995 , MD's Girl Hostel......

The House BY Waf
The first story they told me happened in their very house in Tutong a few summers ago, but before I go even further, let me tell you guys the very basis to this (and also others that I might tell you in the weeks to come).
It has been known within our family circle that the land we own in Pengkalan Mau had been left long enough for wild vegetation to grow, until the first (and only) house was erected on that spot by my uncle circa 1996. But the house has remained vacant ever since, as the family were also living somewhere in Bandar. Quite well off they were back then.
They finally moved into the house in 2005, after lots of modern touches to it. But at the same, it was no surprise that they also assumed that there would be a great number of strange things lying ahead of them - especially when the father actually has a 'third' eye.
So back to the main story.
Among all the rooms in that house, there's only one which has always been 'out-of-bounds' for 'known' reasons, and that is the kitchen on the top floor. So yada yada everyone told everyone.... but one - the amah they just hired.
She was greatly unaware of the whole situation about the house. So one day she decided to do some spring cleaning, and quite expectedly, went into the forbidden kitchen. Nothing happened until that night when she was about to doze off. At a corner of her almost-pitch-dark room, she saw a white figure resembling that of a woman with the face mostly covered by the long messy hair. And behind the hair, two protruding angry red eyes stared directly in her direction. The amah was, of course, petrified.
She quit the next day.
(P/s: One thing that puzzled me though. If the kitchen was supposed to be a no-entry space, shouldn't it be locked away from people's reach at least? =s)

Haunted Hotel By MH
I had my first ghost encounter when I was only 13 or 14 years old. It happened back at 2005, during the December school holidays. My cousins called up me one early morning "persuading" me to follow them up to XX Hotel for a night sleepover, since we hadn't hang out as often as we did. My parents allowed me to follow them up, so I quickly packed up all the needs and wants, and *fast forward*, we were already there, in our hotel room.
We were supposed to have our dinner around 8pm, however, we had to change our plans as my cousins' parents and their friends wanted to watch a movie in the hotel's cinema. so, by the time they were back from their movie, it was already 11.30PM. we children were really really hungry at that time, so my cousins' parents took us out to the Gadong to have our late dinner. We finished eating around 12.30AM & it started to rain heavily at that time.
THEN, THE INTERESTING PART CAME.
It was raining really heavily, and as we were about to enter our hotel block entrance, I saw a girl standing next to a tree nearby. She's quite young, around the age of 6 or 7, and she's playing with her ball under the rain. I just kept my mouth shut because I knew something wasn't right. It was already nearly 1AM in the morning, and how could it be possible for a young girl to be playing around during that time, and moreover, UNDER THE RAIN? One of my cousins noticed me being weird, as I kept on staring out to there, as if I saw something. She quickly pulled me over and we went into our hotel room. Thank goodness I didn't really think much about it the whole night and I was able to sleep well.
The next morning, I quickly asked my cousin, the one who pulled me, whether she also saw the little girl. She gave me a surprised look and asked me, "Which girl? HUH?" Only then I knew... I was the only one who saw that girl. My other cousins also didn't see her, but only me. We were about to head back to our home after finishing our check-out process, and I managed to have a small talk with one of the security guards. I told him my story and to my surprise, he just replied my questions calmly saying, "Oh, it's normal around the area that you stayed in, as once a young girl died of drowning in the swimming pool nearby."
Only then I knew... Anyway, I am glad that I didn't mess up with myself while handling that kind of situation. So next time you see anything, just keep your mouth shut first & tell it the next day!
