Frankly, I have never encountered such an entity as “hantu tetek” – but I do believe in the supernatural, the paranormal, the unknown, the unexplored and the unexplained.

Cos’ I had encountered the Thai version of the Pontianak known as the Maenak a long time ago.

I was driving home to my small modern farm in the north of Thailand, and along the way, I had spotted an entity walking along the side of the road in the dark, at night.

There are no street lights or the like, and sure as hell, there she was, walking slowly with her back towards me, and only turning her head to glance at me when my vehicle passed her by slowly.

I know the area well, and who the hell would walk in the middle of the night (especially the feline species – what are we talking about? – I mean is it normal for a woman to walk alone at night wearing white, with very long hair, and no make-up effects necessary!?) – in the extreme dark, when visibility is so poor on such isolated and long dirt roads, one can’t help but only drive very slowly?

I mean is this woman out in the middle of the night for some fresh air – or willing, wanting and waiting to get fresh with someone or lots of someone(s) in the flesh?

It is simple logic and common sense, and no male prejudice is involved, rest assured – as the issue here is really clear and obvious – do ghosts, spirits and demons really exist?

I believe they do!

Cos’ G_D exist – and so does Satan.

Do read my post below:

As a Mat Salleh who used to live in wretched Singapore – and like my late-aba, I was skeptical about such Pontianak stories, until my late-aba told me this one:

He used to know a Bomoh, who has a beautiful Malay wife, and she has a nail embedded on the top of her head, and he had even shown this to my late-aba.

My late-aba had bought a piece of land at Bukit Timah seven-and-a-half-kilometres in the 1950s, and had built a wooden house and a barn on it, and had planted many fruit trees, including banana trees, and he had also laid some vegetable lots and chicken pens.

On many nights, my late-aba had heard the laughter, cries and shrieks of a Pontianak, that dwell in the forested areas of Bukit Timah, and this Pontianak was attracted to the banana trees that he had planted, and had visited this area near his wooden house, and after he had encountered “IT” on several occasions, my late-aba had engaged this same Bomoh to “cleanse” his residential property in Singapore.

During the rituals conducted by this Bomoh, the Pontianak had laughed and cried out these words, which had always haunted my late-aba when he was alive – Bomoh, Bomoh, Saya tak takut lah! – that was repeated several times until the Bomoh used his “barang-barang” to fight this Pontianak.

My late-aba had continued to encounter this Pontianak after this “successful ritual” – but this time, whenever my late-aba encountered “IT” – this Pontianak will cry and murmur these words in fear – “Encik, Encik, – Tolong, Tolong, Saya takut lah!”

The Bomoh had given my late-aba several weapons as a precaution after the ritual, just in case “IT” appears again – and these are a kris, a long nail that has an amulet on it, and blessed salt, dried chilli and dried black pepper seeds (that are replenished from time to time by the Bomoh) that are used to sprinkle around our residential property at Bukit Timah.

And one more thing, I had also encountered a Thai version of the Pontianak known as a “Maenak” a long time ago – when I had also built a small modern farm in a rural area in northern Thailand.

So what really are these – Pontianaks, Maenaks, Tianaks, Kuntilanaks!?
Are they spirits, ghosts or demons!?
