A Bet is a Bet

 A Bet is a Bet

Randy and his two friends were having lunch, when the topic of the supernatural came up.
Since Randy was a a skeptic, Alan and James regaled him with ghost stories of haunted houses on the island.
He laughed them off as being superstitious fools, they getting annoyed concocted a plan to teach him a lesson.The following day they went to an abandoned bungalow and set up all sorts of tricks, a small walkie talkie in the ceiling, they tied a metal chain to a string outside the window of the second floor master bedroom, a small whistle was wedged in the living room window. And of course the classic spooky doll was put under the bed.
Alan then called Randy and bet him a 100 bucks he would not dare to sleep one night in a haunted house of their choosing. Needless to say they chose the house they had set up. Randy laughed at them and told them it would be no problem.

That night Randy brought his sleeping bag and moved into the haunted house. The master bedroom being the only room with a bed still in it Randy laid his sleeping bag on top. Being an old colonial house, this was a four poster bed that had been assembled in the room and was impossible to remove without being dismantled.

Alan and James took up position outside the house and waited for midnight to start their fun of scaring Randy.

When the wind blew the whistle would blow downstairs in the living room, at midnight to the minute. James started yanking on the string attached to the chains, while Alan whispered in the walkie talkie trying his best to sound spooky. Randy burst out laughing, and started to search the house for his two friends, it did not take him long to find their gadgets and them hiding in the bushes.

Telling them a bet was a bet, and that he was going up to bed, and they might as well just go home. Randy went to sleep in the master bedroom.

The following morning, Randy woke up to familiar surroundings, comfortably tucked in his sleeping bag on a four poster bed.
He remembered the bet, and gleefully thought about the money he had won, when he started to get out of his sleeping bag he realized that he wasn’t in the master bedroom anymore. He was in the kitchen on the ground floor of the house, him, his sleeping bag and the four poster bed had all been moved into the kitchen while he slept.

Banana Tree Spirit

 Banana Tree Spirit There is an old wives tale told in Asia, that if you tied a red string to one end of the ripe flower of a banana tree and the other end to your toe. while you slept, in the middle of the night you would be visited by a spirit. My friend Gary being something of a joker, thought it would be fun to try this out at home. He had a few banana tree's growing in his garden just 15 feet away from his bedroom window. He figured it was an easy enough experiment to try out. Grabbing some red thread from his mothers sewing kit, he opened his window and tied one end of the string to the flower of the banana tree and the other to his big toe, finding it a little hard to sleep with a string tied to his toe , the most comfortable position he could find to sleep in, was with him hanging one leg off the side of the bed. ''Some hours later, he doesn't remember exactly how many'' he was startled awake when he felt himself violently pulled off the bed. Scr

Pocong

What is a Pocong? In the Muslim faith, a person is buried in a shroud, the shroud is tied in several strategic locations, to keep the body properly wrapped during burial, after the body is lowered into the ground, the string holding the burial shroud is either untied or removed altogether. Some people believe that if the string is not untied or removed that the spirit of the deceased is unable to pass on and will hop out of its grave to haunt people until someone removes the “knot/string”. What Does a Pocong Look Like The pocong will look like a corpse wrapped up in a burial shroud, its appearance will depend heavily on how old it is, the older it is the more decomposed it will be, there will of course  be a pungent smell of decomposing flesh and a feeling of dread in the air, almost as if the Poncong exudes a fear inducing aura, recent lore says that it will hop around because its legs will still have been bound in its shroud, but this in no way restricts its movement, it

Pelesit the Bound Spirit

Pelesit the Bound Spirit A Pelesit is a spirit or supernatural being that is bound to a master, often inherited or passed from person to person. The pelesit is kept in a small bottle or jar in the masters home, once a month the master must feed the pelesit a few drops of their own blood to keep it bound to them. Pelesits in the Past In the days of yore, social hermits also kept pelesits as protection, once people found out that they owned a pelesit, they were left alone and were safe from prosecution or any form of petty crime. Most often they would be kept by females as a form of protection. Pelesits in Modern Times It is believed that pelesits in modern times are predominantly owned by unscrupulous Bomoh's (witchdoctors) to fleece innocent victims of their money. The bomoh's would sic their pelesit on random people, causing havoc in their lives, they would then step in and offer to exorcise the evil spirit in exchange for a paltry sum of cash. The bo
