As many know some of us love ghost story.So why dont we share it together?Here is a story:
Sea Apparition
Author:Manjit
My father used to work as a lighthouse keeper pn Pulau Brani(Which mean Brani Island),obe of the offshore islands abd we lived on that island until it was changed into a naval base many years ago.
We used to see a phantom which haunted the small community that lived on Brani.It was a apparition of a bloated,bloody man who stank of rotting flesh and who had only one leg and a shredded stump for another.
According to the people there,he was a fisherman who had gone out for a catch late one night with his son.Apparently his boat developed motor problem and he dived into the water to fix it.
According to his son,the man was attacked by a shark while he was underwater.He put up a fierce struggle as his son watched in terror at the bubbling and chaotic water around the boat.
"He managed to surface one time"the boy recalled later."Then he clung hard to the boat but couldnt pull himself in because the shark gripped one leg and dragged him screaming in agony back into the sea.I was crying so hard,but I just didnt dare pull him in,I was such a coward!"
The traumatised boy saw his father being tossed up into the air like a shredded rag doll.,screaming,sinking back into the sea,tossed up again,shouting in pain and sinking back again.The whole process was repeated many time before he was finally killed and eaten.
Since that time,people say they haveseen his ghostly apparition.,at time so real that heseem to leave a trail in the sand as he walked.
"I nearly had a heart attack when he first appeared to me"our neighbour Jamaludin,once told me.
"I was fishing late one night when suddenly there was this eerie clan and then "whoosh!"The sea bubbled and a badly injured man broke out of the water and clung my sampan(a kinda small boat)"
