Little Terrier Barking

Jade was home alone. This is the same girl as here and here. It was late at night and her two housemates were out.
Usually, when she was home alone, her housemate's little terrier would stay close to her. The small dog did not like to be left alone. It was a very small dog, about the size of a medium-sized cat.


That night, it was raining heavily. The little dog was standing near the living room. The living room light was off, as usual. The little terrier was just standing there staring in the dark, in the direction of the front door.
Jade picked the terrier up and brought it over to her room.
But the little dog struggled and ran back to stare at the living room.

Jade tried to get the little dog to follow her, but the dog ignored her. The little dog started to bark. The tiny terrier was standing stiffly there barking at nothing. Jade tried to call the dog again, but it continued to stand there, barking.

Jade suddenly felt cold. Scared, she went back to her room and locked the door. She could still hear the little dog barking. The dog continued to bark non-stop for about an hour.

The Moth and the Old Lady

This happened in Kuching, in a house somewhere in the Sungai Maong area. An old lady had just passed away. She passed away peacefully, due to her old age.

Some of her relatives kept vigil over her coffin the following nights before the funeral, as was the Chinese custom. The old lady was very much loved by her family.
One night, some of her sons and grandsons were watching over her body.

They were talking, and joking around. Suddenly, one of her sons noticed a moth on the wall near the coffin.
He pointed it out to the others, and said it was their mother visiting them.

They all laughed and nobody took it very seriously.
Another son grinned and said, " Ma..if it's you, please turn to the left.."

And the moth turned to the left.

Her sons and grandsons all fell silent, and didn't joke around much for the rest of the night.

Bargaining with the Old Man

This happened more than 60 years ago, during the Japanese occupation of World War II. The Japanese had just occupied Kuching.

A young married couple who were first generation immigrants from China decided to leave Kuching and hide in the distant rural areas to avoid the danger. They travelled far, and came across a long-abandoned village. The fields had been left for many, many years and the village was in ruins. However, they decided to settle there and hide from the Japanese.

The couple started clearing the land and made themselves at home. One day, as the wife was clearing a part of the overgrown field, something sharp cut her leg. It was only a minor injury, and she continued clearing the land until evening.
That night, her leg was in terrible pain. It was swollen and she was unable to sleep. As days passed, the pain grew worse. And, the husband started having dreams.

The dreams were surreal. He felt like they weren't really dreams, as they came to him just as he was half-asleep and half-awake. The dreams were always the same.
A naked old man would appear to him and try to talk to him. But each time the husband avoided the old man and woke up.
The condition of his wife's leg was getting worse.

One evening, the husband decided to "speak" to the old man. The old man told the husband that he was alone, cold and hungry. He asked for some food and clothes. The husband told the old man that his wife's leg was in a lot of pain.
He told the old man about the war, and said that he promised he would go to town and buy some clothes as soon as he could (because wartime was dangerous, and he could not go straight away). In return, he wanted his wife's leg to recover. The old man agreed.

The wife's leg recovered very quickly after that. The husband kept his promise, he bought and burnt some offerings for the old man.

Later, the husband discovered that the sharp object that had cut his wife's leg was part of a human bone...

The Computer Lab in GP402

Frid was in the GP402 computer lab in Curtin (pictured above). He was rushing his assignment. It was late at night, and his assignment was due the next day. As it was late, there was nobody else there. He was alone.

Then, the lab door slammed open and shut. Rapidly and repeatedly. There was nobody there. Frid finished his assignment and quickly left.

The Girl at Padang Kerbau

This happened on the Padang Kerbau road in Miri (also known as the
Miri Bypass). The road is a shortcut from the airport to the Boulevard
roundabout.

One night, LG was driving with his friend on that road. It was about
9pm. He was driving his car alone, and his friend was driving another
car. LG's friend was driving quite a distance in front of LG. They
were headed for the Boulevard roundabout.

The road was very dark. LG was driving a Kancil, and his car lights
could only illuminate a small area surrounding the side of the car. As
he drove along, suddenly his car lights picked out a figure huddled at
the side of the road.

It was the figure of a little girl, crouching in the dark at the
roadside on the grass. The car lights just managed to illuminate her
as the Kancil was driving past. In the rear view mirror, it was all
dark.

LG broke into cold sweat. He accelerated and overtook his friend's car.

He said he is grateful the "little girl" didn't follow him.
