GHOST VIGILANTE
When the owner of a grocery shop in Kampung Binjai, Malaysia, visited his shop with his wife from their hometown in Kota Baru after celebrating a religious festival, they found a dehydrated intruder lying in a room. They called an ambulance to take him to hospital. The 36-year-old would-be burglar later told police that after entering the shop he was blinded and felt he was in a cave. “Each time I wanted to flee,” he said, “I felt a ‘supernatural figure’ shoving me to the ground.” He was trapped for 72 hours without food and water.
