A massive burning of offerings by a group of people in red clothes was observed by many passersby at this area on the night of May 15th, 2011.
Rumours are linking the huge collective offerings to apparently "hundreds or even thousands of spirits" or "powerful" spirits to the recent Bintang Megamall "cleansing" or "relocation".
Even the local Chinese newspapers (See Hua Daily) have added to the speculation.
This was taken from the See Hua Daily website:
" 最大型超度法会 520祭品送“好兄弟”
（本报美里15日讯）美里有史以来最大型的“好兄弟”超度法会，在傍晚6时开始于史纳汀空地举行。
来自金香堂的善男信女，在主持黄金香的领导下，在早上9时就开始到超度现会为傍晚的“烧祭”作准备。
当局共准备了520份祭品给好兄弟，每“人”一份，一份包括一间双层独立洋房、一对纸扎公仔、50粒金银元宝以及一艘纸船。
由于在傍晚开始烧的纸扎祭品占地不小，在美里房屋发展有限公司董事主席拿督刘绍慧协助下，由工地工人在数日前搭建了临时凉棚，可以容纳百多名善男信女及义工在该处准备520份的祭品。
来自机场路大成花园的金香堂主持黄金香表示，这场大型超度仪式是她主持很多场超度仪式之中最大型的。
她形容，其实“好兄弟”也与一般人一样，并没有什么特别，四周都有，甚至在白天也可以活动自如。
谣言盛传不可信
“对外界盛传某购物中心的某鞋店关店后，有闭路电视拍到鞋子乱乱飞，翌日店员开店发现鞋子乱成一团；还有发现鞋印；更有传言称某购物中心将关闭数天等，那是虚假的传言，市民不应信以为真。”
拥有一对阴阳眼的黄金香表示，近来传出许多不利于购物中心的传言都是不可靠的，像所谓鞋子乱飞的鞋店根本都没有安装闭路电视，何能让人看到鞋子乱飞？
擅长赤手在恶灵附身者身上擒捉邪灵的黄金香，今日傍晚6时将地藏王菩萨的协助下超度这批亡灵。
也擅长替曾经堕胎、流产的妇女超度已故并附在母体幼灵的黄金香，许多当下的信女都曾在她的协助下，随后成为其追随者。
黄金香表面看似与一般妇女无疑，但却是作为地藏王菩萨使者，能出入地府自如，与亡灵沟通，“谈判”及超度。每逢初一、十五，金香堂都会有超度仪式在其住家附近举行。"

Ghost Gate at Bintang Plaza, Miri
There are rumours that a Kwai Moon Kwan (鬼門關 "Ghost Gate" or Portal to Hell) is located at the place behind Sushi King (New Wing) Bintang Plaza.
There is a small roadside altar (red Chinese altar) in that area. The roadside altar was initially only a small poorly built structure but it has been "renovated" and "upgraded" several times within only 3 years and now it is considerably bigger and more well-equipped than it used to be. According to rumours, the altar was "upgraded" because the spirits in the area are more powerful / becoming more powerful.
The area is also the location of a suicide case in late 2009, where a man jumped from the Bintang Plaza Carpark and fell to his death on the road somewhere behind Sushi King. During that time, the Bintang Plaza New Wing was still undergoing construction.

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.

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.

The Light Near the Morsjaya Cemetery
One night, a few years ago, James was driving 2 of his friends home. James and Neil sent Andy home first. They sent him back at around midnight. From Miri town to Andy's house, they had to pass by the Morsjaya cemetery.
To get back to their own homes, James and Neil had to cross the graveyard again. That night, there was something wrong with the lamps by the roadside at the cemetery.
Just before James' car reached the road beside the graveyard, James saw a bright light crossing the road. James saw it from afar, and the light was at the graveyard. Thinking it was probably just his imagination, James didn't mention it to Neil.
Then, Neil said: "Did you see that?"
James: "Yup."
Neil: "You wanna turn back and use the main road?"
James: "Yup."
So they turned around and used the highway that passes Taman Awam instead.
Sometimes it's better to be safe than sorry.

Bus Ride to Kuching
Once, KL riding an express bus on the way to Kuching.
It was on an isolated stretch of road in the middle of the night that she saw "white things" on the bus. They looked similar to white fabric. They flew just behind the driver, and then flew outside. And were gone.

Location: Sarawak Highway (Federal Route 01)
There is a long highway stretching across the state of Sarawak. The highway is part of the Trans Borneo Highway (Federal Route 01 for Sarawak). You can drive or ride an express bus all the way from Kuching city on the west to Miri city on the east, and it would take more than 12 hours.
At night the road is dark, with not many lamp posts between the towns, and drive consists mainly of long stretches through the countryside, tangled undergrowth, villages, farms and estates. Driving at night can be a scary experience, especially in the more isolated areas...

The Wavy Road Near the Curtin Junction
There is a very bumpy road in the Senadin area. When you drive on it, you feel like you're riding waves. The wavy road is after you turn left on the way to Curtin junction. Every time I ride on that road, I get a headache, it's so wavy.
Many accidents occur on that road, and it is said to be "dirty". Some say it is caused by the ghosts lingering around the bushes at the roadside. They say the ghosts are jealous of living people...
