A House with Red Roof BY Michiyo

This one was told by a family's friend.

There was a rich Chinese woman who lived in Bunut area back in 1960's. Everywhere she went, she always wear gold jewellery. I was told that people always borrow money from her. A very large amount of money I assume as she later was killed by eleven foreign men in order to close the deal without paying. That was the first murder case in Brunei. The murderers then disposed her body in belukar area. No one knows about her death although children who always walked by the belukar to go to ugama school did smell something rotten. Eventually a couple of men found the dead body when checking out the belukar area thinking they're gonna find the corpse of their missing cow.

It was such a horrible death. The lady was raped by those eleven men. Her private part was stuffed with rocks and bottle. I was told that people can hear a woman crying at night where the Chinese woman's body was found which now stood a house with red roof. The house used to have occupants, but eventually they leave after hearing the cry. Until now, the house still remains vacant.

Note from author: I never really encounter any paranormal experience or whatsoever. Am I a believer? Maybe. But hearing other people's experience of their paranormal encounter is more like an entertainment to me. Oh, I love ghost stories! By the way, check out http://extremeghosthunters.com/ .

London Bus BY Michiyo

This happened to a friend of my sister who are studying in London.

They were four of them. My sister and her three friends. So there was this one night, they were going back to Brunei Hall after watching a movie. They hopped onto this bus and went straight up to the first floor of the bus (its a double decker). They sat on these front seats that were facing a TV screen showing the CCTV videos installed in the bus. Its the kind of TV that shows video of the lower front part of the bus, then changes to lower back part of the bus, then to upper part etc. So one of my sister's friend was watching the TV screen when suddenly the video changes to upper back part of the bus, which is the seats behind them. Well she saw a woman (who apparently looks like an Asian) and a little boy (about 9 or 10). The woman was sitting on one of the seats at the back but the boy was sitting on the aisle next to the woman. Like seriously on the aisle and he was leaning his head against the woman's lap whom we assume was his mother. So when she saw this, she was pissed. She was like why the mother let her boy sitting on the aisle and didn't the bus driver notice this as he should do something about it. It's dangerous letting a kid sitting on the aisle.

So she looked behind her back to give them a stare (you know the kind of stare to show people that we are not comfortable of what they are doing). But there was nobody there except the four of them. When she looked back up at the screen, she can still see these mother and son. So she thought that it might be the video taken from CCTV downstairs. Then the video changes to other angles of the bus. When the video came back to the seats behind them (or the seats that she thought was from downstairs), she can still see the mother and son.

She was quite confused about which part of the bus was the video taken because she kinda still think that it was from the seats behind them. So she asked her friends where do they think the video was taken from and they said it was from the seats behind them. By the time she looked back at the screen, the mother and son was gone. After they hopped off the bus then she told her friends about what she saw. But my sister went like, I was looking at the TV screen the whole time but I didn't see anyone behind our seats.

Can it be that the CCTV videos shown was from the day before? No, because they can see themselves when the TV screen was showing their seats. Can it be the women and son had left the bus by the time they were looking at the CCTV screen, they were not there? No, because if they left, my sister and her friends would have noticed. The mother and son need to pass them to get down the bus. So who are these mother and son? A glimpse of the other world maybe. Showing them leading their lives as normal as we are living ours. Or maybe it was just an imagination made up by my sister's friend.

Hantu Bungkus BY Michiyo

I heard this from a friend of mine. I hope he won't mind me posting this up.

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.
