I started having visions and dreams of an unknown figure, and when I asked Abang Wan about it, he said that this figure might be a genie or an evil spirit. Abang Wan and Abang Amir prayed over me to neutralize my energy. Abang Amir then told me there’s two probabilities: If my dream is calm and positive, I'm fine. And if it’s the other way around, I need to be careful and might need assistance from a 'bomoh'. What does this dream mean?

The scary back-story of a haunted house gave few of us a warning sign to not enter or disturb "her" residency and graveyard.

And what happened to Abang Amir's brother when he decided to challenge the spirit?
