Eve's Mum, The Ghostly Car Near Civic Centre, Kuching

This is a story from Eve's mum, which is quite awesome. They are from Kuching.

Well, when Eve's mum was in her twenties, she often went out to play with her girlfriends, party, and all that.

One late midnight, at around 1 am, she was driving, wanting to send her friend back home, when she eventually stopped at this red traffic light somewhere near Civic Centre. The area is near the Sarawak General Hospital (SGH) Kuching. There are several cemeteries in the vicinity too, a Christian one, a Chinese one, and a Muslim one!

Eve's mum felt very curious looking at the car which was in front of her and remarked to her friend, expressing her curiosity that normally no matter how short a person is, when he or she is driving, the driver's figure can normally be seen from the back. Conversely, that night, Eve's mum was not able to see the silhouette of anyone driving the car in front of hers.

Extremely curious, she drove her car to the lane on the right of that car. The car was a very old model white car (Eve's mum could still remember the car license plate number and she mentioned it to Eve, but Eve can't remember the number).

To her surprise, there was nobody driving the car.

Instead, there was a guy sitting inside on the passenger side, who kept drinking from a bottle of beer. He was drinking non-stop as if someone was making or forcing him to drink more and more..

Then, the traffic light turned green and the car moved!
Driven without anyone driving it!

Refusing to believe what her eyes had just seen, Eve's mum changed lane and chased after the car.
Her friend scolded her, saying that it is already so 'soi' (means unfortunate or bad luck) to see such a 'thing', and now for god-knows-why she wanted to chase after it..?

But Eve's mum, always the daring and stubborn one, tried her best to chase after the strange car.
Unfortunately (or fortunately), she came to a turning on the road up and missed the car.

However, strangely, there was another car which was stopped at the side of the road with one Ah Pek (old man) standing next to the car. Getting out of the car, Eve's mum went straight up to the man and asked if he had seen a car without any driver passing by.

Calmly, the Ah Pek asked Eve's mum to return home immediately.
Back home, Ah Kong (means "Grandpa", Eve's mum's dad) asked her to bathe with water infused with pomelo leaves, which she did.

Eve's mum said the number of the car plate was the same number with the combination of the chinese lunar date and age of Eve's grandma when she passed away.
It might have been either 7071 or 7170 (Eve can't remember which one, and said that she can't ask her mum because she is currently in UK).

According to Eve, the number has come out in the lottery (TOTO or 4D) a few times already.
Eve especially remembers it because every time the number comes out, Eve's mum will recall the story of her encounter when she was young.
