HANTU LANGSUIR

Theme: Malaysian ghosts

Cute dog reading a book...

Hello! So one of my tuition teachers recently told me about this Malaysia ghost called 'Hantu Langsuir'

Basically, it's a ghost that SCREAMS...

If you hear the scream, and it sounds like it coming far away, it just means that the ghost is VERY VERY near you. 

If it sounds near you, the ghost is actually VERY far away from you. 

Totally opposite, right? :3 

But it's a bit freaky...b'cos if someone screams high-pitched then you think it's the ghost? Lol. 

Langsuir are the spirits who suffered from labouring sickness (meroyan) which resulted in the death of both mother and baby during childbirth. 

The woman would then turn into langsuir 40 days after her death. To prevent this from happening, glass beads are placed into the corspes' mouth. 

Langsuir's victims are often pregnent woman. They suck the victim's blood from a hole behind the neck. If one put the langsuir's hair into the hole or cuts its claws, it will become human again. 

Lang suir are said to be encountered near the shore of a river or sea. If human victim isn't available, they might prey on fish. 

That's why it's so interesting....XD
