A COLUMN in Mingguan Malaysia titled Seram, featured a person named Salihin who related a terrifying experience upon patronising a roadside stall.

       Recalling the encounter in May 2017, Salihin, who was tasked to visit a development site for work, was driving to Penang from Kuala Lumpur at 2.30am when he felt hungry and decided to stop at a stall located near a rubber plantation.

       The stall was lit up and Salihin, who was the only customer, noticed that it was bare. The waitress who attended to him did not speak at all.

       Upon finishing his meal, he asked the waitress, who looked to be in her 40s, if he could use the restroom, to which she pointed to a small hut at the back of the stall.

       Later, as Salihin had a smoke outside the restroom, his view veered towards the kitchen, which was behind the stall.

       To his horror, the “cook” was a faceless being with floor-length hair and ragged clothes.

       “I was shaking. I started to walk to my car when all of sudden, the waitress began walking towards my direction, looking straight at me,” said Salihin, who made a run for it.

       He heard a loud wail as he sped off to a nearby town where he then st opped at a petrol station and asked a man for the fastest route to Penang.

       The man told Salihin that he must avoid using the road that he had just come from, as there had been scary sightings reported by other travellers. They included sightings of pallbearers with a coffin and a haunted roadside stall!

       > A road accident that occurred in December last year while a man was returning from work has changed his family’s fate, reported Kosmo!As a result of the injuries, part of Muhammad Sobirin Salleh’s skull had to be removed due to blood clots.
