Hello Pisang,

Please share what you know of ttoyols and this counter to the toyols, especially the golden needle which I have heard of and always wanted to find. The golden needle seem to be a magical device of the Malays and southern Thais. Please share. Thanks very much.

Oh, it works like that? That’s an interesting piece of info.
Is toyol the baby ghost which bomoh rears but since the toyol in this story has an adult face.

The malays sure have many types of ghostly creatures in the ‘market’.
Unlike chinese, I think we have only jumping pontianak and normal ghost (white and red dress ghost).

When i think of feeding toyol with blood, yucky!
How come this kind of staff still exists in the modern world. That means that are still witches (bomoh) or normal ppl like us practising this to get wealth.

@Lynn: the toyol supposed to work until the masters roof is made of gold ma… so throwing some gold stuff up there symbolically makes the roof gold. so the toyol don’t have to work anymore.

first time I head of this “roof of gold” thing tho. normally you hear that you have to feed the toyol with blood from the masters big toe.

Interesting, but what’s the reason of throwing gold needle onto their rooftop?
Why the argument between the newly weds? They packed back to Kedah as in couple or they split ways?

Does that means the bachelor guy who is also the husband of your grandmother’s sister’s daughter is the master?
