Short Ghost Stories

21) Road trip to Kelantan

Location : Pahang, Malaysia

Sender : Mr Aiman

This happened 2 years ago. I will give you a background image first and then we will go on with the creepy part of the story. So me and 3 of my friends, Hakim, Zul and Alif decided to go on a short road trip to Kelantan by van from Singapore. We went out early in the morning and we followed the GPS to reach the location. We didn't have any map with us. Along the way, we did have pit stops in Johor, Melaka and Negeri Sembilan to eat and refresh ourselves. We also saw old Japanese cemeteries and there was an abandoned airport site. Soon, we arrived at one spot which we found perfect for camping.

Unfortunately we didn't know which exact location it was but we know it was somewhere in Pahang. Our view was the beach and the rest of the area was covered with thick forest. Even though our camping area was quite a distance from the water, we could still feel the breeze. To us, it was perfect camping site. It was already past 7pm after we complete setting up our tent and the camp fire. Our van was parked on a good location in the woods just next to our campfire. The tent however was used to keep the camping stuff eg food and all that.

Our van was the resting place. The back door of the van, we left it open so that we don't feel hot while sleeping. We had pushed forward all the seats. The back part of the van was just nice for 4 people to lie down. We did set up a big anti-insect net at the back part of the van and its the only thing covering/protecting us when we sleep. It prevent insects from disturbing us at night.

Alright here comes the creepy part. So the driver, Zul had already gone to sleep because he was very tired and Alif on the other hand was busy calling his girl friend. Both of them were resting inside the van.

So left me and Hakim outside, just chilling near the camp fire. Hakim, the singer wannabe, brought along his guitar. He started strumming and singing at the same time.

"Hey hey...stop singing for a while.." I called out to him.

"What is it man..i just wanna sing.." he said while frowning at me.

The reason why I told him to stop was..i heard something creepy. So he started to sing again...and I heard it again.

"Aye, i'm serious. Just stop for a while..and listen.." I whispered to him, giving him a serious look.

Before he could respond, he froze and looked at me with a shock. He heard it too. It sounded like a woman crying or singing. We can't really tell. Earlier, it was very soft. But this time, it sounded really clear like as if its very near us. Quickly, we started cleaning everything. The sound became closer and now it sounds like a woman singing.

"Aiman..." Hakim hold my arm while his eyes was looking at something behind me.

I turned around and saw... a woman in white, her long hair was covering her face but her hands! They were so long that it touched the ground. The creepy sound was coming from her! We freaked out and quickly brought in all the necessary stuff into the van. All the way it didn't stop singing. We were really frightened at that point of time. We left the camp fire burning. We got into the van and pulled down the net to cover us.

"Oi...what is wrong with you two?"  Alif  shouted.

"Alif, put down the phone now!" I whispered to him.

"I'm talking to my girlfriend lah .... wait a minute...what's that?!" he asked. Now he too hears it.

"Just put down the phone first.." I whispered again.

"You, I call you back.." Alif told his gf.

"Oi..what's that sound?!" he whispered to me. He looks concerned.

"Just now we were just chilling near the camp fire and then we heard a sound ... then we saw a woman in white..right Hakim?" I explained.

"Yeah we heard it and we saw it.." Hakim said.

"Hmm... why are you guys making so much noise? I'm trying to sleep... omg...what's that?" Zul who was sleeping suddenly woke up and looked at us for some answers.

Our frightened looks was enough to give him the answer. The sound of a woman singing didn't stop at all. That night, just imagine. While lying down, we read prayers that we know non-stop until we fall asleep. We woke up the next morning and the sound was gone. We quickly cleaned  up and left the place. We had done many camping trips but this was the first time we encountered the supernatural. It was a good lesson for us and one experience we will never forget.
