Kum Kum

Have you heard of a ghost called, "Kum Kum"?

Kum Kum is a ghost that wanders in Malaysia and sometimes Singapore for blood from young girls to retain back her lost youth. She was named as "Kum-kum" as her deformed face affected her to say the proper greetings , "as-salam-mualaikum", but only just a simple "kum kum".

Legend has it that once, she used to be a beautiful woman but she was never satisfied with her good looks. As time flies, her looks faded as she gets older. In order to retain and restore back her beauty, she consulted a bomoh that practices black magic. The bomoh agreed to help her and gave her a elixir to drink and warned her to not look at the mirror for a period of time. So, time passed by and whenever the woman touches her skin, she felt that the wrinkles had disappeared and her skin gets softer and smoother which led her to be tormented by curiosity. And that was when people start complimenting her looks. On that 29th day, enough is enough and she sneaked a peek in the mirror.

And that was when the story of Kum Kum began. She attack on young girls for the sake of getting back her beauty so do be careful whenever your leaving or returning back home late at night. And never in a once, open the door if someone knocks it and greets, "Kum-kum" because who knows it might be the Kum Kum....
