Rumours have been floating around Miri that almost 500 human skeletons were found at the construction site of the new hotel adjoining Bintang Megamall / Bintang Plaza (soon-to-be Meritz Hotel). They are believed to have been killed and buried during the Japanese occupation of World War II.
Many strange hauntings and "trance-like" happenings have also been reported. There were also several suicides and "accidental" deaths at the Bintang Megamall area.
I've also heard from a sales person there who has said that there is supposedly a powerful "lady in red" who is behind the deaths of several men there. The sales person said it is believed that the "lady" is out to kill 7 men in order to menjadi manusia (revert to human form)..after which she would drink blood to survive (pontianak).
Apparently the situation became unbearable to the shop owners there and a Chinese exorcist or bomoh was called but it did not improve the situation.
There are speculations that there will be some special prayers held in the area around mid to end May 2011.
Supposedly, the skeletons will be moved to an area in Senadin, another reputedly "haunted spot".

Kampung Sabu in Sri Aman
There is a small village in Sri Aman, Kampung Sabu. It is quite far off the highway, and most express buses don't have any routes there (only one bus services that area). It is an old Iban village.
Behind the Iban village, in the jungle nearby, there is an ancient Iban cemetery. It is so old that nobody in the village knows anything of the people that lie beneath the dirt.
The cemetery is not like modern cemeteries, it has no tombstones. The ancient Ibans had just built pondok (huts) and buried their dead inside. And now, the old Iban cemetery was nothing more than ancient broken-down pondok falling into ruin, and covered by bushes and vines. Many were no longer visible, obscured by the tangles of undergrowth.
According the villagers, sometimes they hear strange sounds at night. Sbe was sleeping in her room when she heard the loud sound of chattering teeth coming from her roof. It was said to be a pontianak, or a lady spirit that some believe to be a sort of vampire. Other villagers have heard the sound of footsteps on their rooftops, and high-pitched laughter.
The Ibans there however, coexist with the spirits of the jungle and believe that the pontianak are harmless unless provoked.

Bal
Apparently Bal could see ghosts ever since he was young. According to Bal, he once saw a pontianak sitting on the roof of the Curtin AL100 building.
Also, a female spirit was frequenting the area near his house, a terrace house in Desa Senadin, and it often went across the street to Anaesthesia's house (click here for Anaesthesia's experiences).
Bal stayed alone, and often had friends over. Once night, James and Jessica were at his house playing MapleStory.
They were drinking Coca-Cola, and suddenly they noticed that one of the Coke cans had been moved.
There were only 3 of them in the house and none of them had moved it.
Bal left the room, and James and Jessica heard him scolding someone in Malay not to disturb them. But there was no one else in the house...
