Who goes there?
Based on real life experience. This drawing is based on a story that was shared to me by a friend of mine. The incident happend 2 years ago. Lisa (not her real name) was at home waiting for her husband to return from work. At the time she was 8 months pregnant. Her husband would usually reach home at about 9pm and they would have dinner together. To her that night was like any other night but what she does'nt that it was a night she will never forget. While waiting for her husband she was going through her phone when all of a sudden she heard someone knocking on the door. She got up and looked through the peep hole...there was a lady wearing a black 'hijab' (scarf) with her back facing the door. "Who are you and what do you want?" she asked but the lady did'nt reply nor turned to face the door. Feeling uneasy, Lisa walked away from the door but not without hearing a much louder and more agressive knock on the door. This time around Lisa was really annoyed. She shouted, "Eh! $!@L! I'm calling the police right now!" When she went to look through the peep hole again...to her shock the lady was facing the door! Lisa described to me that it was an elderly lady with empty eye sockets and small jagged teeth (see the drawing). Upon seeing what was standing at her door she ran to her room and called her husband,begging him to come home at once! This incident happened only once and she prayed it will never happen again! At times she does wonder if her neighbors even experienced the same thing or was she the only one who was lucky enough to receive the sinister looking visitor that night... |
Hantu Penanggal
The penanggal or penanggalan is a nocturnal vampiric entity of Malay ghost myths. Its name comes from the word tanggal meaning to remove or take off, because its form is that of a floating disembodied woman's head with its trailing organs still attached. From afar, it twinkles like a ball of flame, providing an explanation for the will-o'-the-wisp phenomenon. The penanggalan exists by different names in every country of Southeast Asia. It is known as Balan-balan in Sabah, Leyak in Bali, Kuyang in Kalimantan, palasik in West Sumatra, Kra-sue in Thailand, Kasu in Laos, Ap in Cambodia, and Manananggal in the Philippines. Though commonly referred to in its native languages as a ghost, the penanggalan cannot be readily classified as a classical undead being. Rather, it is a witch that developed the ability to take such a form through meditation in a vat of vinegar. The creature is, for all intents and purposes, a living human being during daytime (much like the Japanese Nukekubi) or at any time when it does not detach itself from its body. - Wikipedia |
The Crying WOman
The entity from The Crying Woman as how I envisioned it. I showed it to the eyewitness and she confirmed that the drawing is spot on. |
