Haunting of an Expatriate
in Bangsar
Salamander
is from Sweden and was transferred to a large multi-telecommunication company.
She was so happy to have found a new home at Bangsar in Malaysia, an upper
class neighborhood location. She was
discouraged by Amy, my cousin, who is a Real Estate agent. The reason Amy was
against the idea was that place was considered haunted. In fact, a lady
committed suicide a few years ago and that house was haunted and occupied by
supernatural being. There were instances of other customers who had to leave
after several bad and terrifying experiences.
Marion, who
was Salamander’s assistant, agreed readily and she were told of that place and
she heard of that ‘dirty’ land. However, Salamander was convinced that there
was no such thing as a haunted house. She claimed that we were to too
superstitious and that all these talk just nonsense. Anyway Salamander was
adamant and she finally moved into the residence.
Nothing
happened for the first week and Marion spend the day with Salamander, cleaning
and packing helping her the things from packed packages. All of a sudden, there
was a low sound, like some low pitch sound.
Marion was
terrified and she quickly asked whether Salamander heard that sound. Salamander
said its probably the sound from the trees, as the sound of wind were gusting
and blowing the leaves of the trees. Unconvinced
Marion said it couldn’t be as it sounded quite strange. Instead of argument with her, Salamander suggested that Marion had done enough for the
day besides it was almost 6pm. Marion always leave before 6 pm and she readily
agreed and she said she will there tomorrow.
In the
meantime, Salamander decided to take a nap after a long tough day after all
packing and cleaning. She awoke and found the whole house in darkness and she
can hear the sound of wind and rain drops. Then she heard the low sound of a
person weeping, it sound was so hideous and yet so melodious. The sound was
going from a very low pitch and reverting to a much deeper and louder pitch. Shivers
went down her spine and goose bumps in her feet and hands were freezing. The
sound seemed to be coming from everywhere…from the entire house.
As she
switched on the lights she got a glimpse of a white shadow which suddenly
disappeared. The sound of the rainfall was getting louder and so was the sound
of a person weeping was getting more audible. Lost and bewildered she got in
her garden and grabbed her car to get out of the house.
(Salamander
stayed with her friend Marion and after that she spent time in a hotel. She
found another place at a condominium, but insists that she will never go back
to her old place!)
