The Long Narrow Winding Road

The old route to Bentong from Kuala Lumpur used to take nothing less than two hours or more by bus or car.Today with the new highway traveling time is shortened by half,besides being shortening its distance.void of dangerous sharp corners, it is very,very much wider.

That old long narrow winding road had taken much tolls.Not only were that road narrow,winding and extremely dangerous with numerous fully loaded huge and heavy timber trucks plying from Bentong to Kuala Lumpur. The numerous blind corners gave rise to many accidents,caused by reckless drivers.Many of them hit and run lorries.

Because of its many fatal accidents people do believe that many corners and stretches of the road were haunted,haunted by ghosts who died cruelly along the way who never knew what really happened or what hit and killed them off out right on the spots.Many of those lorry drivers had quite some awful tales to tell regarding those wandering ghosts.

Such tales seemingly skeptical to many but those who had experienced surely had a lot of long stories to tell.Many of such stories describe accidents between cars and timber lorries where almost whole families were wiped out instantly.The ghosts of such accidents will be left wandering in the wilderness,they will wander on until they find their replacements.

Many drivers driving along these roads sometimes met with white figures along the road walking or floating without legs.Most often were the ghosts of young females with long flowing hair,drifting by the sides of roads ot crossing the road.No drivers on seeing these will ever ever stop to look at them,as such they just pressed on.Accelerating at a faster space away from that spot.

I remember a little Ketari,women tappers were ran over by reckless drivers.In actual fact many of those accidents could be averted,had not been those drivers or their attendents not pulled the head scarfs of those tappers.Therefore these tappers were actually crushed under their lorries' wheel because the cheekiness of those concerned.Of course such culprits were never arrested to be prosecuted.Normally these were hit and run accidents where the drivers and attendants were never apprehended.

Those areas although were now developed with housing estates,but the ghosts still wandered around those areas.Many of its residences around had seen females in white drifting around.Do not believe me just go there after midnight maybe they will met you or better still award you with four digits for the next draw.You enjoy that,but not me.

The spirits of such accidents cannot rest in peace for they will surely seek revenge but alsa their vengeance will never be served as most of these drivers dared drive pass those spots again.With the new highway chances of they meeting those devils slim but the One above is very fair,those culprits will meet their Waterloo somehow maybe later.
