My Pieces

supernatural

"she looked up, and saw a little girl standing on the tree branch above her. 'what are you doing up there? its dangerous!' she said. it was then that she realized the girl's feet were talons, and she had wing structures on her shoulders. she turned to shout for her mother, and when she turned back to the tree, it was empty of anyone. and the little girl is standing atop another tree."

Hantu. One of the types of supernatural creatures in malay folklore, the winged humans, thought to reside in the mountains north of malaysia. and in that region too, the area between thailand and kedah, are the stories of garuda sightings. a coincidence?

The above extract was a story of what my aunt saw when she was a child. she told my father the story, and although she had forgotten about it, he still remembers, and in turn told me about it. he believes, and so do i.

i don't think we had discovered everything about our planet. i'm sure there are still many odd and strange species out there that are not yet brought to light. the yeti, apeman, garudas, dragonfishes, loch ness... many people totally discarded the possibility of their existence, but wouldn't it be fantastic if they did exist?

it would be fun if i could travel to these haunts, and try to seek proofs of their existence. not to publicize, or to raze them out of hiding; just to see for myself, with my own eyes. and even if i do not have the chance, i hope that SOMEONE could get to know for sure if these creatures do exist. ah~ its hard to describe this feeling... heh. its... awesome?

"he was in the army, travelling through the jungles during the war. one day he saw a huge man-like creature, it looked like an ape, only bigger. frightened, he shot it, and they left the body in the jungle. that night, a group of the creatures went to their camp-out, and squatted outside the boundaries crying the death of their member. the villagers advised the soldiers to give them salt as compensation. cupping a handful of salt each, the creatures left the camp in peace."
