Pontianak-folklore
or real?
Female ghost
in police lock-up disturbs cops
A PONTIANAK has apparently
been disturbing officers on night duty at the Betong district police
headquarters about 150km from Kuching.
The apparition of a long hair woman
in a white dress has been spotted several times in the lock-up.
It was also seen around the police
station.
“Its face is similar to an officer
here. When it is given instructions, it would only keep quiet,” said a source
quoted in Harian Metro.
Such incidents have been happening
ever since the police headquarters shifted to the current location in April.
The police has sought the services
of an ustaz to get rid of the ghost.
The ustaz, apparently, found
that the spirit of the woman was not in peace.
“We were told that the woman, when
she was alive, was a rape victim and was murdered here.”
Betong OCPD Deputy Supt Mohd Bukhori
Saffai said three policemen had been disturbed by the ghost over the past
month.
The latest incident happened last
week.
> A senior civil servant is under
police probe following allegations that he sought sexual favours from a
foodstall operator in exchange for a shophouse.
Quoting sources, Harian Metro
said the woman in Malacca needed the place to start her business, so she agreed
to the man’s request for sex.
The woman later discovered she was
pregnant.
“When the government official found
out, he pressured the woman to have an abortion,” the source said.
However, the woman refused.

The above is a report from real eye witness from a local
newspaper about ‘pontianak’. A
description of ‘pontianak’ is given as above. The myths and legends of the
supernatural are so entrenched in our daily lives. Do they really exist? Are they haunting us? It is best to leave it
up to you all individual to decide.
The pontianak
(Dutch-Indonesian spelling: boentianak)
is a vampiric ghost in Malay and Indonesian mythology. It is also known as a matianak
or kuntilanak, sometimes shortened to kunti. The pontianak are said to be the spirits of woman who
died while pregnant. This is often confused with a related creature, the lang
suir, which is the ghost of a woman who died while giving birth. The word pontianak is reportedly a corruption
of the Malay perempuan
mati beranak, or “woman who died in childbirth”.[1]
Another theory is that the word is a combination of puan (woman) + mati
(die) + anak (child). The term matianak means "death of a
child". The city of Pontianak in Indonesia is named after this
creature, which was claimed to have haunted the first sultan who once settled
there.

Real Pontianak?
Let me start with a tale about a Pontianak.
A guy was driving back from Petaling Jaya in his car at 2am.
There were not many vehicles at that late night and he was stopped at the red
light. He looked around casually and he noticed that a lone worker walking and
thought she must have been working late.
The green light was on as he starting his car….when suddenly
a woman dressed in white appear in his windscreen! She was staring at him
through the windscreen…and when she opened her mouth, he could see a row of
gleaming sharp teeth and red eyes…(he
fainted!)
I do not know what happened after that, but I believe that
he was in hospital for a while. He was in total shock!
This is supposed to be a real live eye-witness account. Believe
it or not…its up to you.
