Do you ever experience seeing or being 'touch' by a ghost or spirit before?

If you do, what is the feeling like? Scared? Nervous?

If you have not try this, what are you going to do? Try it?


As for me, I don't like either ghost or something mysterious that will scare me to death. I don't like trying or play dare just to test your courage of how brave you are. I have friends possessed by spirits or ghost before. I seen them acting strange and not being their own self. It is kind of scary for me to see and experience it myself.


There are many haunted places in Malaysia that may make our spines chill and gives us goosebumps. Have you been one of any before? Let me warn you before you start wandering off to those scary places. It is not wise to disturb them and their territory. You will have fun and feel exciting at the beginning, but later you will regret and start to have nightmares for the rest of your life.

Pudu Jail

The official announcement  that was made to the public regarding the infamous Pudu jail that is to be brought down and demolished. The infamous Pudu jail was built in phases by the British colonial government between 1891 and 1895. Works of deconstructing has taken place within the premise itself as the surrounding walls of the Pudu Jail was brought down including the famous arc that resembles the front gate entrance of the jail. The historical Pudu jail is a national treasure but due to its black history and the structure itself located in the middle of Kuala Lumpur, it has been a problem to the ever growing fast paced city center causing obstacles to developments that include  road widening projects, new buildings, and much more.

The Pudu jail was built on the site of a former Chinese burial ground.  During world war 2 the Japanese occupation forces  incarcerated many allied prisoners of war there. The history of the pudu jail itself is very brutal and dark.  In June 2010, the eastern wall of the Pudu Prison complex was destroyed to make way for a road widening project. According to the government, it’s an eye sore to have the Pudu jail structure located in the middle of  Kuala Lumpur especially since its the capital state of Malaysia.  It is the fastest growing metropolitan region in the country, in terms of population and economy.




Pudu jail was said to be very haunted, as the prisoners that were hung there are still haunting the place and very much active and still living the life’s of the prisoner even in the afterlife. This could be due to forgiving issues, which they can’t forgive themselves for what they might have done while some don’t realize that they are actually dead.

There is not much room within the cell, just a stone bed and a small window that you can barely see anything. The jail cell door is extremely strong and heavy. It was made with Iron and other materials. It is impossible to break such a door if any prisoner happen to plan any escape in such a close confined Pudu Jail.








“We normally shout out loud that we are merely trying to make a living and tell whatever that’s out there to leave us alone,” he says.

Haji Aziz Haji Idris tells of an encounter while on duty at one of the guard towers when he was still a young officer.

“It was shortly after midnight and I was on night duty with another person when I saw an officer approaching. As we had been trained, I banged my rifle on the floor and shouted out ‘Everything all right, sir!”

Aziz says the figure said nothing but raised his hand, and then suddenly disappeared.

He also remembers one particular bunk in the warder’s dormitory which everyone tried to avoid.

“Anyone who slept there would be sure to feel an unseen force pressing down on his chest. They may try to shout or move but will be helpless to do anything,” he says, adding that some would rather sleep on the floor than use the bunk.

Abu Bakar also recalls a weird phenomenon – a ball of fire the size of a football that suddenly appeared and rolled out of sight.

“It happened every once in a while, and in cycles. Everyone would be talking about it for a while,” he says.

But the scariest tale is that of a recurring apparition of a woman. Aziz believes it was the ghost of a woman who was hanged there.

“She had tried to kill herself previously by slitting her throat. She survived but before she was fully recovered, the execution order came,” he says.

“She was brought to the execution chamber and hanged – but because of the injury, her head was literally torn off. It was a gruesome death and that is the ghost that many people have seen.”

He recalls an encounter with this apparition.

“I was on duty at Block D, where death row is located, and directly above the execution chamber is a huge anchor stone.

“Out of the corner of my eye I saw a figure sitting on this stone. Malays believe ghosts’ feet do not touch the ground, and when I bent over to look, the figure disappeared,” he says.

But a fellow officer’s encounter was even more shocking.

“Once, a police officer was interviewing prisoners and it was getting late. However, he said that he could interview one more, and I went down to bring another one.

“As he was filling in some forms he saw a figure sitting down. Thinking it was another prisoner he looked up, only to see a headless woman with blood flowing down her chest. The officer ran down the stairs as fast as he could,” he says.

Aziz believes Pudu Prison is a very “dirty” place and in some places is a giant graveyard.

“During World War II, the British buried Japanese soldiers there, and when the Japanese took over, they buried the British there.

“The ghosts here are real,” says Aziz.
