Scary stuff, man..

Wow, I just got officially creeped out. My father told me this story, which in turn was told to him by his friend.

My dad's friend has been married for 18 years. And recently, he discovered a startling fact. His wife has been possessed for 18 years.

It's true. I know it sounds like a typical Malay bomoh story, which.. it is actually. A Malay bomoh story.

So anyway, 18 years ago, the wife was courted by a man, who I heard was a penghulu or something. But his ego must have been dented when the wife rejected him. He jampi-ed her. And not till recently did they realise it. Gulp.

For 18 years, the marriage wasn't so stable. The wife will for no apparent reason, break into tantrums and so on. But let's zoom ahead. Her husband, my dad's friend figures she's mentally unstable, and have sent her to hospitals. His doctor recommended him a bomoh. Yes, his doctor.

After meeting the bomoh, he was told to bring the wife for a cleansing sort of ritual. This is where the chills begin.

The wife refused to leave the house. Later she said, there was an old man in a sarung standing behind her persuading her not to go.

After much effort from the husband, they arrived at the bomoh's. The bomoh did some stuff and then...

You know, as I'm typing this I'm feeling a sorta chill down my spine. And furthermore, the story's quite long. Hard to type. So I think I won't go on. And I'm scaring myself, so anyway, let's leave it here. Shiver.
