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.
