Singapore — A ghostly figure was spotted in the middle of Jurong West in broad daylight, causing confusion among netizens.
“Hantu spotted at Jurong West St 61?!” wrote Facebook page Beh Chia Lor – Singapore Road on Wednesday (Jan 26), attaching a short clip taken by a startled driver who was nearby.
The driver zoomed into the Pontianak-looking figure standing on the roadside beside a pole, presumably waiting for a taxi to pick her up.
She also had what looked like a wallet or purse in her hand.
“If anyone saw this at midnight or one o’clock in the morning, it would surely make them pee in their pants,” the driver was heard saying in Malay.
Meanwhile, the ghostly figure remained unmoving by the roadside.
Netizens didn’t skip a beat in sharing witty comments on the footage.
“No wonder she couldn’t get a taxi,” said a Facebook user, while another quipped, “This is an indisputable proof that Hantus exist.”
“So ghosts have no equal rights to go for walking, supper, fresh air,” another netizen asked jokingly.
One Alex Lee also wondered if it was already the Hungry Ghost Festival, which is celebrated on the seventh month of the lunar calendar (August – September). “7th-month hungry ghost so fast come already? Chinese New Year isn’t over yet,” commented Mr Lee.
Still, others noted that the lady wearing a white dress and waiting for a taxi or someone to pick her up was just “at the wrong place, at the wrong time and with the wrong dress.”
In other hantu-related news, a man was caught on camera donning a white blanket over his head while he harassed a neighbour.
The man’s choice of ghostly apparel made it difficult for the closed-circuit television camera to capture his identity while he banged on his neighbour’s door before walking away. /TISG
