2016-09-08 29

Ghosts and supernatural beings are known everywhere. In every continent, North and South America, Europe, Africa, Australasia and Asia. Though there are ghosts, it would be different with every region (tho with subtle similarities).

This video will talk about Asian Ghosts. Specifically the type of ghost that you would find in the malay culture. Since it is Malay, these ghosts(hantu) would be prominent in South East Asia in countries such as Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore.

I have listed 5 of the most known (ghost/hantu melayu) by the people, that even children could atleast tell you how they look like from just hearing the name.

They are:
5. Pocong(hantu bungkus)
4. Penanggal(bebalan)
3. Toyol
2. Orang Minyak
1. Pontianak(kuntilanak)
