While attached to Bentong Estate,I was placed in charged of its second division and had to travel there as early as 5.00 a.m. to the divisional office for the muster and also in the afternoon to attend to some office work there.So rain or shine that was my routine daily.
Before reaching my division I had to by pass a creepy big turn.in fact that was a blind corner where by many accidents had happened before.Most of the time I had been extremely careful at this corner.Very often slowing down as I connect that curve.No matter how hard one tried the blind corner still was very tricky especially on a rainy day for then it was slippery.
To make that worst there circulating stories of scary tales at that corner.Tales of white apparitions by the side of that road or near its vicinity.The white figures appeared to be like human form that floated above the ground level.However,no one had had any clearer pictures of them to confirm anything more.
As a young man fresh to the plantation way of life I was definitely quite frighten of is existence.Imagine traveling at about 5.00 a.m. to my office every morning.In this hilly region the morning air was often very cold with thick mist.I often end up at my office with wet eye brows and hair because of the mist.My thick jacket was insufficient to keep away the increased coldness.Well tat was part and parcel of the job.
One day after a heavy downfall I again returned to my office for some office work,with me was my companion.
to be continued.
