Ack! Not For The Faint-Hearted...!!!!

There are many fascinating ghost stories in Malay folklore. These creepy tales are often told by our elders with such vivid details and enthusiasm.It was no surprise then that all boys my age(circa1980s) turned into pussies when they hear tales of pontianak,toyol,hantu kum-kum and jin.Kids nowadays have the Internet and www.sfogs.com to scare the daylights out of them,but its just not the same to have a real good storyteller in front of you.I read with great interest about the Ghosts exhibition at K.L,Malaysia.It claimed to showcase real ghosts that has been captured and shown in their physical form.I really dont know if its real or just a hoax but deep down inside I am inclined to believe its real.The reason is that the person who 'collects' these artefacts is an 'Ustaz' or religious teacher.(and I only distrust politicians) Scoff and be cynical if you must,but I have seen a ghost(at Gelang Patah,J.B) before and it was not a pleasant experience,but that's a story for another day. Would I go see the exhibition if its in Singapore???Ohhhh...tidak...
