Story 1:

"I work in an auditorium for an international school where I've had to stay pretty late, especially if there are drama productions and musical performances coming up. 

When I first started, I'd always hear tapping on the wooden table in the AV control room. They're usually slow taps, but sometimes, the taps can get pretty loud and violent. Certain spots in the auditorium, especially when minimal lights are on, will also smell strongly of flowers. No one's brought flowers, and nor did it smell like the cleaning stuff the cleaners use.

Then, about two years back, I was onstage rigging the stage lighting for the school's annual musical when I heard lights crashing down backstage. That's worrying, so I went backstage to check but not a single thing was out of place or had been moved. Later, I found out from the vendors who were in charge of the auditorium before I came in that they heard the same thing when they were working 'til the wee hours of the morning.

There are also stories I've heard from other people, like the lady in the red kebaya who randomly appears in the third floor backstage, which I've never encountered - thankfully! A maintenance guy also told me that whenever he comes in in the morning to switch on the lights and AC on every floor before school begins, he'd find a black figure shadowing him."

Story 2:
"I used to work for a spa where I had to come in at the break of dawn. One time, I heard the sound of pens falling over coming from the reception counter just after I arrived. I was the only one there at the time.

On a separate occasion, when the opening hours were changed to a later time, my manager and I heard the sound of running feet along the wooden corridor right after we opened the doors of the therapy rooms to let the heat out. At first, we dismissed it, thinking we'd imagined it... then we heard them again!

Luckily, my manager kept some holy water in her office. The running footsteps stopped after she sprinkled some around the place."

Story 3:
"This happened at the end of a weekend trip in Morib. My husband had just left back to KL for work and I was half asleep in our villa when I heard footsteps coming up the stairs and entering my room. I knew it couldn't be my husband because I had locked the door from the inside."
"It came up right next to me, grabbed my hand and called out to me in my husband's voice. A quick glance was all I needed to see that it had taken on his form! I tried to chant some holy mantras but something was preventing me from speaking. The thing laughed and smirked, as if taunting me for not being able to get rid of it. It took a while but I eventually managed to force the words out. As I repeated the mantras, the thing slowly released me and backed off. It paced angrily in front of my bed for a while before disappearing."

Story 4:

"What started out as a prank by our teachers during a school camp ended up becoming real"
"They woke all of us up at 3AM saying that a toyol had kidnapped one of the boys. We gathered at the tapak perhimpunan to stay safe as a group while the teachers went off to rescue him. There was a lot of commotion going on, with the teachers shouting like crazy while they supposedly chasing down the toyol. We heard a really loud smash of glass breaking. One of the windows of a classroom had been smashed and we saw a black shadow emerge. It climbed up onto the roof of the building and stood there staring at all of us with its bright red eyes before leaving by jumping from rooftop to rooftop, disappearing into the night.

The next morning, the teachers told us that it was all a prank and that the boy was safe and sound in the pejabat. But they were confused to the max when we asked them how they managed to pull off what we saw and thought that we were just trying to prank them back. We tried to prove it by showing them the smashed window, but it was now completely undamaged."
