S.M.K. Dato Permaisuri Hysteria

It happened a while ago, but Taz only decided tell this story now.

A while ago (end June 2010), there was a well-known hysteria case in SMK Dato Permaisuri, it was quite big news in Miri. That time Taz knew a friend whose sister was working as a teacher there.

The teacher said it was indeed a very scary happening because there was mass hysteria with school children screaming and crying uncontrollably, but according to her, there were 3 happenings that were the most scary.

The first was when a student was seen walking up a big old tree in front of the school compound "not climbing and not only walking like crawling but walking upright on the tree trunk!"

The school canteen staff had kept many trays of raw eggs in the canteen for their daily use but said that all their raw eggs stock gave out a very bad smell and had "suddenly turned rotten and busuk for no reason during the hysteria."

The third story was when the girls that were "under hysteria" were in the school surau and were being helped by the teachers, but many of the teachers also didn't know what to do.
And one girl was like shouting and crying but when the religious teacher prayed for her she stopped and "went to sleep" calmly, so the religious teacher went to see another student "under hysteria". But when the religious teacher went away, the girl opened her eyes again!
According to Taz, "But her eyes were all black no white at all like the alien movies!"

This is an excerpt from a Borneo Post article:
"They wept, screamed, struggled and fainted inside and outside their classrooms.

It was a chaotic scene and a hair-raising experience for many of the students, especially those who have never witnessed such an incidence before.

The victims who are mostly Form 3, 4, and 5 students cried and screamed (seemingly in great pain).

Some fainted inside their classrooms, outside the school compound, and under the sheds.

It is believed to be the first mass hysteria in the state this year.

It is also worth noting that it happened just when the PMR trial examinations started yesterday.

“This is where it started first,” a student (who declined to be identified) later pointed out to The Borneo Post.

He was referring to a Form 3 student who suddenly cried and started screaming inside the classroom.

By 12.30pm the situation was still not under control as some students sitting in the shed on their way back to school also became hysterical.

The teachers tried their best to handle the situation but in truth most of them seemed confused.

For want of better solutions to the problem, some of the victims were carried to the school surau.

A shocked father who was informed by a teacher that his daughter was hysterical said he immediately rushed to the school. He took her home to be treated by an ‘ustaz’

Hundreds of students coming for the afternoon session were shocked upon seeing the mass hysteria. They were soon told to go home for fear that they too might become hysterical."

Bintang Megamall Level 6 Carpark Haunted! (2 Tales)

Mr. A and Mr. U went to Bintang Megamall recently and they parked at the Level 6 Carpark there. A security guard found Mr. A in a daze or trance, trying to insert his car key into the wall! It was lucky that the security guard was there because Mr. U was also under some kind of trance and was walking towards the far (dark) end of the carpark!

N had witnessed a similar situation. N went to Bintang Plaza one night to buy some things. After shopping, he went back to his car at the carpark. He had parked his car at Level 6.

At the carpark, N happened to see his close friend wandering around. His friend seemed to be wandering around by himself in a daze. N shouted to his friend and he seemed to "wake up". It was almost close to the place where there were several suicide cases.

Bintang Megamall / Bintang Plaza, Miri

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".

Under the Television

This story was told by a guy I know, and I am posting this on the condition that he remains anonymous, and several details are not to be posted.

There is a house near The Spring, in Kuching.

Nothing strange had ever happened there before. One day, the girl who was staying there was watching television in her living room downstairs. She heard her mother call her from the kitchen. The girl shouted back and answered her mother, but there was no reply. So she went over to the kitchen, but there was nobody there.

She thought she had imagined it, so she continued watching television. Her mother came downstairs, and she told her mother what had happened. They decided it was nothing, and both continued with their business. The girl continued watching television, and her mother left the room.

Then, the girl heard a sound. The sound came from under the television. There was an empty space in the cabinet under the television set. The girl bent down to look under the television, to try to find out what was making the sound. She saw the blurred face of an old lady.

The girl was then possessed.
The guy who told this story refused to give me permission to post the details of her behaviour and physical condition when she was possessed.

Only recently, she was cured with the help of a bomoh. Her house was also cleansed by the bomoh.
However, she is still suffering from the effects of the possession. Again, no further details on her condition were allowed to be posted.
