• 0:00
  Speaker 1: And they all heard like it like singing, and the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: strange part is that he's singing at the lower decks
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: of the oil rig and it's like slowly going up.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: My name is Fur, my name
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: is Wayne, my name is Kyle,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: and this is Tales from Incredible Tales, inspired by the
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: classic horror series, we explore Southeast Asia's supernatural culture.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: In this episode, we take a deep dive into our
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: fascination with water spirits, from the Chinese shuui to Filipinosokoi.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: This episode was inspired by the classic Incredible Tales episode,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Harbor Queen.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: It
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: seems like almost every culture around the world has its
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: own water spirits. So, before we begin, we will narrow
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: down our focus. We are going to talk about water
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: spirits from cultures across Southeast Asia specifically. If you want
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: us to revisit this topic with a more uh global selection,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: let us know in the comment section below.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: We'll spend a bit more time with the two water
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: spirits that are probably more familiar to us in Singapore. First,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: the Hantu ayi can definitely be seen as one of
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: the more benevolent water spirits. It is generally invisible, but
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: when it makes its presence known, it looks like glowing
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: fireflies or phosphorus.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: of the sea. Rituals have been used to ask for
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: protection from or appease the Hantu Ayer. According to the
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: book Malay Magic, published in 1900, before sailors and the
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: seafaring begin their journey, they were to stand up in
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: the bows and call upon the sea spirits for their
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: assistance in pointing
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Out shawls, snacks, and rocky islets, end quote. There's also
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: a ceremony called Puja pantai, which translates to worshiping the beach.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Puja pantai, according to one article, is performed to quote,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: pray for protection, forgiveness, and better fortune from ancestral spirits,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: end quote. Some accounts, however, claim that Hantu Ayer is
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: not as benevolent as it might seem.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: They portray the Hantu Ayer as spirits of the drowned
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: haunting the body of water where they died, looking for
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: victims who can replace them.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: What do you guys think of the Hantu Ayer? Do
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: you think they are protectors or vengeful spirits? I think
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: they are vengeful spirits.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, agree. I am going to be the contrarian and
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: say I think they are.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Why do you think it's they are so angry
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: session. Why? Why, you must press the button. I just
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: get the sense that because.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Southeast Asia, Southeast Asia, there's a lot of seafaring people,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and I feel that there's only so much you can
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: like if people drown or something happens at sea, there's
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: only so much you can blame that on the Hantu.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I do believe that a lot more because they want
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: their families to be safe, a lot more people would
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: be setting up offerings or even like prayers to, to
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the Hantu I to ask them to protect their loved
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: ones or to protect themselves.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: So I feel like, so I'm just feeling ah I
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: don't have stats. I don't have figures. I never did
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: survey or anything analytics, no analytics, no, no algorithm to
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: help me calculate. I feel like it's more likely that
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the Huntu IA is a protector. Like when it comes
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: to the Hunto, I've only heard a few stories here
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: and there. That's it. And yes, those are a bit
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: more evil, a bit more scary, but that's only one
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: or two. My personal feeling is that they are more
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: protectors than anything else. How I pass on.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, we are debating,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: so who's the, who's the mediator in this
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: debate?
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, you guys should debate. I didn't be the mediator.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, nice.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, I've read or I've, I, I, I someone
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: told me before that.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Out of all the places, right, the places where there
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: are a lot of jinns is 2, there's there's two la.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: So one in like forested area, one is in the waters,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: the ocean, the seas, that's where they often live. So
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I've also heard a few stories. I've
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: ever heard a story where there's Huntu Aye and the
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: person who who were involved in the story isn't in
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: trouble unless you're talking about mermaid, then the mermaid maybe
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: help the person or I don't know, right, but usually
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: you've got Huntu Aye, right, usually very vengeful one.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: What you're saying is that The Little Mermaid technically is
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: a Hantu I. Yeah, it might be. You never depending
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: on what version you watch. So I need to ask
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: you this. Uh, no, no, what's the origin of Hantu A?
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I honestly do not know. So is it a victim
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: of the drowning, uh, like someone who died in the sea,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: or it's just a
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Spirit that has always been honestly,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: I feel and I think that it's just a spirit
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: that lives
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: in
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: the sea, yeah,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: and I think their main goal is to, you know,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: get more lives or like, you know, to, to end
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: people's life. I think, I think, I don't know. By
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: the way guys, right, this is not planned.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: But as we are recording this episode, it's raining, it's a,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: there's a heavy storm, thunderstorm right now. I don't know
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: if you can hear it, but it's very loud.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Something got to do with the, yeah,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: maybe they know that we are talking about them.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Then they do some rain dance.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they rain dance, then the water that go up 20%,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: then hydro pump.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I help you. You started it. I finished it for you. Actually,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: from what I understand from you, right, actually the hantu
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: is quite similar to the Chinese shui kui. It's literally
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: translated to water spirit lah. So how a water spirit
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: is created is, um, actually either, uh, an unfortunate drowning
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: of an individual, uh, either, you know.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Uh, by will or not by will, uh, and unable
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: to find their dead body, uh, then, yeah, then that's
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: how they become spirits. Then they are quite vengeful lah.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: So they will haunt the area that they drowned in lah.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: So one of the most famous uh place with quite
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of water spirits is a reservoir in the
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: eastern part of Singapore lah. And the Chinese, we do
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: believe that when you
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Drown in in in the water, like similar to what
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: you say lah like uh there is a spirit that
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: pull you down to replace it so that this spirit
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: can move on. So it's like kind of like a replacement.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: So the cycle will always continue.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: If you're talking about Hantu Aye, I legitimately like, I
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: don't know much about them, but like I said earlier,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: every time I read stories about Hantu Aye or I
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: heard stories about Huntu Aye, it's always the
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: vengeful one. It's never like, I'm here to protect you
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: in the sea. No,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: it's always
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: even for my stories that I heard. I used to
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: go out to the sea to fish on a boat, right?
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: There were a lot of rules that we cannot do. Like,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: for example, you cannot pee tang in a certain part
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: of the boat, uh, yeah, and then you need to
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: do certain rituals or like they have to buy fresh
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: flowers for the spirit. So it's, is they, they don't
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: mess around with the sea.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Like open water. So, so it's something that we're also
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: scared of like, and one of the things that you
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: do to protect yourself against the swimming the water spirit
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: is to actually during Hungry Ghost month, we've always been told,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: don't go swimming, don't go swimming, not the spirit of
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: my pool, you know, because swimming pool sometimes people unfortunately
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: also pass away inside the pool. Sea obviously is a
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: no no, so we don't, we don't go lah, though
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: there has been a lot of um
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I guess like debates on whether that is true. Yeah,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: but you can actually see the effect. The swimming pools
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: have lesser attendance and the sea, lesser people go to
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: the sea and, and swim. Yeah, yeah, it's, it's quite
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: a known thing lah, at least in, in Singapore from
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: what I know. Yeah, but, but I think the, the,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: our thoughts are quite similar in terms of the origins
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: and as well as like the, the, the.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Intention. Maybe it's because, could it be because humans, we
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: are generally afraid of things that are unknown to us,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: because the sea is so unknown. You think about it, right?
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: There's this saying, right, like we know more about the
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: space than our ocean and the earth is made of 70%
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: sea and ocean. So, right, so maybe we don't know,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: that's why we are afraid of
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: it. Like the Bermuda Triangle.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, 100%.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know, it could be a water spirit, like
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: a giant water spirit, you know.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: You probably hit the nail on the head in terms
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: of why we all differ, because when I was doing
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: research about this, one of the things I noticed is
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: that the Hantu aye has its roots in animism, which
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: is the belief that nature things in nature, inanimate objects
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: all have their own spirit, and those are benevolent. So
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: maybe that colors my view of things because like I said, I,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I'm not super familiar with water spirits in general, like
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: the whole, uh, drowning during hungry ghostman thing.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that until I met you. I had
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: no idea that I already know, like, avoid offerings, that
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: kind of thing. So when you told me that, I
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: was like, Oh, I can make sense, lah. Yeah, you
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: know that people also also try not to fish as much. Yeah, again,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: something I learned from you is quite, quite creepy. Yeah,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: I, I don't know whether this is related to Antu
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: or not, but have you heard, like, you know, fishermen
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: or like people go fishing, right? And then like they will,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: the water spirits will beat them one.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Give you more fish. Give you more fish, especially to
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: those who they, they net get more fish, more fish.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: They pull, pull, pull, pull, pull you deeper, deeper, deeper
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: into the sea, right? Then you already. You got trapped, basically.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: I
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: mean,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of different cultures that have something similar
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: to that. There's the.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: I can't remember which culture it was originally, but the
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: whole idea of the sirens, the, the, the sirens that
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: call you with their song into the sea, and then, yeah.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I heard of it before,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: you know, sometimes when someone, uh, goes missing in the sea,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: and they cannot find, so then they will call a priest,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: a Taoist priest to come.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: And then usually they will do some prayers to like
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: tell the spirits to release his body, right, so that
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: they can at least the family has a, has a
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: way to, you know, grieve and move on. Uh, then,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: then there will be a like a ritual to us
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: because there is a certain deity, a certain god uh
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: inside the sea for the Chinese also. It's like a
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: water dragon god. So it's to ask the water dragon
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: to help and remove the, the body, the body. Then
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: they also have to throw watermelon inside.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: And then it's strange, you know, because I've seen it
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: in other TV shows, right, where they do like all
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: these folklore investigations, and they actually show the show the
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: process and they throw the water watermelon and watermelon is,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: is buoyant. So it's supposed to float, but it sinks.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: So when the watermelon sinks, the body
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: body come out.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: After like less than an hour, yeah, to find the
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: body of a drowning victim. So I think that's, yeah,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: it's quite strange, right? How do you, Dr. Mel do that?
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: How do I, Dr. Mel? Why your uncle.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Uncle Mel, help me out here. How do you explain that? I,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I cannot explain that. Like water spray like to eat watermelon. No, no,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I cannot explain that because I did not bring my
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: hat today.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Like, I, I don't know how to explain it. I
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: honestly don't know how to meld gilded, yeah, but that thing,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: something like that reinforces what I think, which is that
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: they're benevolent spirits, because the, what's, what, what is the
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: name of this, the water god, the water dragon, the
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: god is called the dragon king god. So in Mandarin
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: it's called Hail Long one, basically the dragon king.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Um, take care of the entire ocean. So, anything you
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: want to do in the ocean, you need to ask
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: for permission. So it's like it's a belief of like,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: You know, like, different, different places have different, like, for example,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: like you go to a forest, then usually the Chinese
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: will pray to the earth deity. So it's similar to that.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: It's just that the dragon king, you know, because the
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: sea is so big, so he's actually quite, quite powerful lah.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: I want to ask, do you listen to a lot
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: of ghost stories, right? Do you have any Handuai stories?
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: I
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: read this story quite recent. So someone sent in name,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: the name is Tamsin.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: So he's from Kudat Saba. So, uh, he said he
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: went to a place called Kampong Tanjung Mini. Maybe you've
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: got any Sabahans who are watching, they can vouch for this.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: There's this one time they went fishing. So when they
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: went fishing, they heard someone singing out of nowhere, you know, like,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: like I don't know, like maybe humming like.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Um, maybe something like that.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: So they, they, they try to like shine the light
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: la at the the the surface of the water shine,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: try to find.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: They could see there's something swim. The, the entity's body
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: is super huge. It's like a, a humanoid figure, like
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: a human figure, but it's super huge and the skin
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: is black. The skin is like very dark, and, uh,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: how to say, like, like, uh, corals, like corals, you know, very,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: very dark. The eyes are white and the eyes like
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: very like wide open like that swimming. Just, uh, there's
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: only 22 of them on the boat.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: And then they don't know what to do. One of
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: them tried to take out his phone to record, la, right,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: for evidence, right, but out of nowhere, uh, the, the
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: light at the boat just, just shut off. Everything went,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: went super dark. The the the the wind or the
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: atmosphere became super cold and the water starts to become rough. Yeah,
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: the water starts to become rough. So at that point
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: of time, the, the entity surfaced from the water and
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: what this uh sender explained, right.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: The Orang Kampong there called this entity as Galla, G
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: A L A P Gallab, and it's a, it's like
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: a Punjaburdasarlaut. So why this Punjabirdasar laud appears is because
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: uh you know, like I said just now, when you
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: go fishing, the more you get
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Uh, the more you should be grateful, you don't be greedy.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: So when fishermen or when people fish, they, they get
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: a lot of fishes, right? Then they get greedy, then
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: they keep on taking, taking, taking, taking. So that's where
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: the the the gallup will appear to kind of like
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: remind them, you don't be greedy, you take what you need,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: then you chow. Uh, so that's the reason why it appears. I,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: I do not know whether this story is true or not, OK?
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: I always give this reminder to all my listeners, lah.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Um, just take it as entertainment, but according to the sender,
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Well, his friend named Johan actually fell into the sea
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: at that point of time because the the the the
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: wave and whatnot.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: And until now, Johan is nowhere to be found. Yeah.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: So it's because of one could say it's because of greed.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: So maybe the Johan was the greedy one then maybe he,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: the sender want to leave. Johan's like we take more,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: take more.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Maybe both of them is greedy, but only one life.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: So basically that thing was Aquaman. Wow.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Well, Aquaman is a protector of fish. He is a
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: protector of fish, but come on, man. Doomsday coming up already.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: How about you say Namor? Ah, Namor
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: lah. You went back to Sao Paulo, right? What?
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Neymar? Who the hell
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: is that? Nemar Neymar Junior.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't, I don't watch.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: That's how you say what name
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: more. Namor. Namor is a Marvel superhero. Oh,
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: oh God, man. Namor, that one. The always, always
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: the king of the ocean
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: always get lost one. And then 11 of the fin
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: very small, is it.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Get up. Get up, get up, go, go, go walk
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: to the radio.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: So we'll touch on a couple of other Southeast Asian
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: water spirits briefly. There's the Siukoi from the Philippines, which
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: also has a connection to the shuikui. Its name is
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: actually derived from its Chinese counterpart, but that's where the
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: similarities end because according to the Encyclopedia of giants and
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Humanoids and myth, legend and folklore, Siukoi have quote the
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: upper body of a man.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: And the lower body of a fish or in some
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: stories is an anthropod whose body is covered in glistening
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: brown and green fish scales and wet feet.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Some descriptions also give them long green tentacles and gill slits,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: end quote. Encyclopedia goes on to say that the skoi
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: drown and eat fishermen. So this sounds actually like what the, yeah,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: gala is, is that a word? Does that, what does
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: it mean? Does
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: it have a meaning? The definition of gala, I do
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: not know, but the Sabahan people or the Kampong people
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: call it gala.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: It's titled the Punja Punjadasar.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: So what does it mean?
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: It's sarlaud is basically guardian of the water.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: So wow it sounds a little bit like wow thesokoi
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: sounds like a more evil version of that
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: I think it's the same thing yeah
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: I think it's like similarities right maybe the Filipino cousin
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: yeah apparently in Bahase Jawul right gala.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: means sala kaliru or Mengambil haurang lain.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: What does it mean,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: taking other people's belongings.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Oh,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: see that adds a whole new layer. So you take
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: my fish and I eat you la
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: or like or like the person, the person is someone
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: else's maybe, maybe brother, you know, husband.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Taking other people's belongings. Oh, that's actually quite
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: scary.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: I, I got one story to share. This is actually
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: something that I read online. This actually is not even
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: from Southeast Asia. It is actually from the UK actually. So,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: you know, the UK and, and some, um, some countries,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: they are so big, right, then they have actually offshore
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: oil rigs.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: So, uh, this story is about a guy uh who
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: worked in an offshore oil rig, and then they are
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: very isolated and they, because it's so big, right, they
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: work in shifts. So this guy worked in the night shift.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: So night shift is already very creepy. He's like a
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: maintenance worker. So he said there was one night, right, that,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: that the night felt really off. He said he felt
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: really off and he, he just didn't feel good lah.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Then the colleagues also feel like a bit off. Then
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: they say, OK, everybody.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: There's something la tonight, like I feel like something is
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: off tonight. Let's just all be aware. Then I think
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: each of them were working at separate parts of the,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: the oil rig, and then each of them separately heard
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: people singing. And you must understand that this oil rig
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: right is in the middle of the deep ocean. So
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: there is no other ships. It's the only building, only
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: structure in the middle of the ocean, and the seas
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: are rough. So it's a very big waves and stuff.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: So how can there be people singing, right? And they
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: all heard like it like singing, and the strange part
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: is that it's singing at the lower decks of the
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: oil rig and it's like slowly going up. Nobody went
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: missing or died.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: But then they were like, this is definitely not human.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: This is something that's on, so it's like the classic
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: case of the sirens, the sirens trying to call you
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: into the sea and take you as a sacrifice.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: But I noticed uh somewhat like a pattern like from
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: the story that was sent to me.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: They heard someone singing also and then this one also
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: heard someone singing.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's, it's strange. They're trying to attract you
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: into the water, but obviously because the oil rig is
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: so tall, when you, if you drop, right, it's literally
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: you're dropping on concrete because it's so tall and the distance,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: right before you reach the water, you probably die because
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: it's the distance mark very big. So, and if you
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: don't die, usually sharks like to be on the bottom
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: of the oil rigs, so you get eaten by the sharks.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: So they, they know that, OK, we're not supposed to
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: go there, but they still heard it. Then they're like,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: some of them were rationalizing maybe it could be the
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: wind because you know the wind, and it can sound
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: like singing, but no, you say that was the only
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: time that they heard something really weird and they were like, OK,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: that's why we get paid so much money to be
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: on voices because the danger level is not just physical, spiritual,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: maybe you, you took my Dr. Mel Gill moment.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: This is, this is why I need to wear the
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: hat just to make it clear who's supposed to come
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: up with somebody get him a hat. Get me a hat, man.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about another one of our neighbors, water spirit
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: in Thailand. There's the pea fry, uh, which is incredibly
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: confusing to research. I will say that right now. For
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: one thing, if you aren't able to write in Thai,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: the English translations have multiple spellings. For another, the pea
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: fry describes two different types of ghosts.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: OK. According to one article, quote, Fry are women who
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: die during childbirth or not long after giving birth, which
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: sounds like pee, but they often live in the water
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: dragging down and drowning people who go swimming at night.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: There's another kind of pea fry.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Uh, these are all people who are bedridden, and when
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: they are not being looked at by others, they change
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: their eyes sparkle and they gain strength to go out hunting.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: When people see them, they pretend to be sick again,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: end quote. So one of them is a water spirit,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: one of them talking.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: But actually, I feel like
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: I think, I think I think like spirits like the
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Pontana still can hang out by the sea.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Here's my theory, OK, because trees, right, trees, they like trees, right?
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: So what if you plant a banana tree by a swamp,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: like a mangrove area, and mangrove also technically near the sea.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Sunga Apiiapi is along to the sea, so they can
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: hang out there. Have there been cases of like mysterious
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: drownings around Sungai Apiiapi? Yes, for all we know, water
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: spirits might be cousins also of kapi.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: They confirmed cousins one, bro, the, the gene all related
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: one but
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: it's a case of
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: how many, how many degree first cousin, second cousin.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: You need to calculate that, correct, correct, must draw for
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: me family tree actually,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: right, about the, the, the, the pea pride, right? P
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: pri and that one, right, actually that one sound likes
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: soccer also, you know,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: right?
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: You know, have you heard of like, you know, people
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: like the oldies, they are bedridden suddenly at night you
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: suddenly see them walking to the walking to the kitchen
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: like nothing, you know, like no problems like that and
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: usually people would say it's sucker, right, so it's like
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Got a lot of vision for the people lah choking.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: OK, so what do you all think about our, our neighbors'
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: water spirits?
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: OK, actually, when I, you know, when I tell ghost stories,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: I always say that, you know, most of the spirits
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: I'm not that scared of, but water spirits is one
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: of my greatest fears in terms of ghosts
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: because of it's in like the body of
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: water, yeah, because I am afraid of water, like sea,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: the open ocean, that's my one of my fears, especially
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: at night, like very dark. You don't know, you cannot see.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: I imagine that like you don't say like, OK, you.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: You are like somewhere near the beach, you still got light.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: You just imagine you're dropped in the ocean and there's
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: no light and then you hear all the big waves.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: It's scary. And then you start hearing people. I'm actually
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: quite scared of the water spirit in general. That's why
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: I try to avoid
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: going to the
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: water, going to the open ocean if I, if I
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: have a choice. Yeah, I definitely agree with you. So
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: when he talks about the how dark it is in
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: the open ocean, right, I can definitely understand that because
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Early 90s, my dad was working on a cruise liner.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: And that cruise liner uh got into an accident in
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: the middle of the Straits of Malacca and this is
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: middle of the night.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: And my dad told me, so the, the ship is sinking,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: so everybody's like getting off the ship trying to escape,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: panicking everything, and he jumped into the open ocean and
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: he said, he described it exactly the same way. It
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: is so dark, you put your hand in front of
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: your face, you cannot see your hand. So imagine that
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: plus not knowing what's beneath you.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: I, I hunt, I think honestly I also have that
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: fear of the open ocean, and I think it started
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: from there. So even though I argue that, you know,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: the hntu a benevolent spirit or anything, maybe that one
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: for me coping mechanism. Yeah, I, I've, I've a like
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: a firsthand experience of like the how scary the ocean is.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Earlier this year we, we did a documentary shoot, and it's,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: it's not.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Really supernatural, but it's related to religion. So we, we
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: shot in an island, then we left after hours and
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: usually the island, they don't charter boats after 70, you
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: need to leave before 7. So when we were leaving,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: it was like 9:30 and we chartered one boat, just
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: the two of us, me and the DP. So we
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: took the boat, right, bro.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: He didn't own the lights. The, the boat captain, he
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: didn't own no safer. He just didn't own the lights.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Just right back to Singapore, right? Then just two of us. Hey,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: you're actually quite creepy at some parts, and because sometimes
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: the ocean, it gets choppy, right? Then you like, you
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: feel the choppiness and it's dark. You still can see because, um, honestly,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: the Singapore Strait is quite very well lit position, but
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: still it's quite, quite creepy,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: you know what we should
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: do.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Ah, have you ever seen people kayak at night? We
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: should do that, you know, we should go kayaking at night.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: And we put our, like, I don't know, uh, we
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: put mics, hook up mics, and we kayak, right, and
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: then we go to the sea and then we like
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: talk about ghost stories.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: No,
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: I want kayak, bro, in the water. I 100%
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: of you agree with you. It's a good idea. You
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: go first. I follow you, OK? I'll be right behind you.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we, we can, we can take the two kayak
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: people
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: actually. I don't mind. I don't mind together, together we
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: can find a free one, the question is who is
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: the back, who is the front.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Does matter. Imagine you kayak to a mangrove, right? Do
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: you want to be the person in front, the first
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: to see the hantu, or you want to be the
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: person behind then the hantu chase you? It doesn't
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: matter either way. You are stuck at the sea. Also,
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: you cannot, you cannot run also. You cannot be like
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: you saw the ghost and you.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: You can then you got how effective you go behind you.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Then he, oh, you take win first, take win first
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: the
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: same lah, bro. I mean like if the thing were
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: to disturb us, confirm the, the kayak will topple over
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: one then you
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: bye bye then
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: same same same
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: same actually I just remembered a, a, a ghost story.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: That was told to me by my grandmother when I
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: was a young boy. I don't know why she told
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: me that ghost story, but it was, it's quite messed
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: up by the story. So the story goes like this, uh,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: my grandmother, uh, you know, auntie that they all got
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: friends on that. So in the coffee shop, they will tell. So, um,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: apparently it's something that actually happened. So her friend's son
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: actually drowned.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: So how he drowned, right, was quite mysterious. The son
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: actually likes to go to, I didn't go out to
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: the sea often, don't know if his job or maybe
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: it's like he go fishing. Yeah. And this was like
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: maybe in the 90s. So the son is an adult.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: I think one day he came back home, then he
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: just said, I'm very tired, I'm going to sleep.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: So you went to bed.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: In the middle of the night, right, he sleepwalked.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: He opened the opened the gate by some sleep walk
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: open open walk all the way to East Coast Park
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: and walk into the ocean.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: And this was pre, you know, like, like, uh, a
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: lot of security cameras. So there was not much evidence
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: of him leaving his house and going to the ocean,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: but I think investigation actually showed that he willingly walked
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: into the sea.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: At night, so like, like either possess or sleepwalk, but
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: cannot be like sleepwalk, right? And OK, even though, uh,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: we live in the east and it is possible to
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: walk to East Coast Park, but, but that walk itself
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: would take you like 45 minutes.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Depends depends if you stay at Marine Parade, you can
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: just go to underground. So
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: for you to sleepwalk 45 minutes is peculiar lah. That's crazy.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: So yeah, what in the sea and they never found
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: his body.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: He just went missing.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: But, but how do they know he went to
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: the, because I think the next day when the mom
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: woke up, the door was open, like your main door,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: everything never locked.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: But then how do, how did they like come to
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: the conclusion that or the, the,
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: the investigation, obviously they have to call the police, right?
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Like the son went missing.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's crazy.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, like, I was, it's quite heartbreaking because she
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: said that, yeah, the mom is, the friend is still
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: very upset about it, obviously, right, but like the movie
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: is very, is a very strange case. Yeah. Yeah. No,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: they classify as sleepwalk. OK, lah. It's the 90s, like
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: you said, not, not as many video cameras around that time,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: but even then also, it's still a residential area. There
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: will still be.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Enough noise or traffic to wake you up. Yeah, so
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: it's like maybe like in the middle, like maybe 2-3 a.m.,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: that kind. But like, can you imagine how powerful the

  Speaker 1: like the shui is to actually come to your house,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: go into your house, possess you, and bring you to
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: the sea. That's the next level. You would think that
• 29:27

  Speaker 2: some more, but I got a good one. He can
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: escape the spirit, but he's still not safe.

• 33:59
  Speaker 1: early Tuesday morning in 2017, thought that they actually saw

• 34:07
  Speaker 1: that they saw had black hair and what seemed to
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: be dressed in all white, but the truth, right, was
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: more terrifying for the police.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: The figure was actually an angry naked woman, and it
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: took the authorities half an hour to coax her out
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: of the water.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: What is wrong with them?
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Maybe, maybe it's, uh, the tourists are the tourists, maybe
