Haunted Surau at a beach in Negeri Sembilan
Yin and her friends love to go for the nearby beaches at night to enjoy the night’s sea breeze. One particular night brought Yin and her friends to realize that sometimes things are not were they seem to be.
It was a cool and breezy night for Yin and her friends when they decided to stay by at a mamak stall near a beach in Negeri Sembilan for drinks. There was in total 2 cars and everyone jumped out of the car and hang out at the mamak stall. It was about 2 in the morning when Yin felt the call of nature. Perhaps she was drinking too much of teh-o-ais-limau (Ice lemon tea). Co-incidently, her guy friend James also felt the call of nature and asked the owner of the mamak stall if there was any toilet nearby. The mamak stall owner told Yin and James that the nearest toilet would be some distance away and the easiest way to relieve themselves was probably at the bushes nearby. Yin refused to relieve herself that way and urged James to accompany her to the toilet the mamak stall owner was talking about. After asking for some simple directions, Yin and James informed their friends and headed down the long and lonely road.
After some 20 minutes of walking, Yin and James found the toilet. The toilet that the mamak stall owner was talking about happened to be a Surau (a place for Muslims to pay their respects to their God). Although the Surau happens to be a holy place but Yin and James felt a creepy feeling that cannot be described. Not only was the place dark without any street lights (the nearest street light was some 2 – 3 metres away), the Surau had a big tree next to it which made the whole place looked even darker than it already is. As Yin walked into the dark Surau, she tried to reach for the switch lights. After fumbling around for the switches, Yin and James could not find the switch. As Yin and James walked out onto the road again, they battled within themselves if they wanted to go into the Surau again. Although Yin and James did not mention about the nagging creepy feeling that each of them felt, they reached consensus that perhaps it was a wiser decision to relieve themselves at the nearby bushes.
After a relieving themselves, Yin and James was about to walk back to the mamak stall when they saw 2 cars approaching fast. They realized that their friends came to relieve themselves as well. As the rest of her guy and girlfriends went to their own separate toilets, Yin and James decided to stay in the car and wait. Yin refused to walk into the Surau again. After some 5 minutes of waiting in the car, Yin suddenly heard her friend Tina screaming and running out from the toilet. At the very same time, all her friends also ran out from the Surau, quickly got into the car and drove off.
After Tina manage to calm down, Yin and the rest of her car-pooling friends asked Tina what she saw. Tina related that she was having her menstruation and after she relieved herself, she noticed there were some blood stains on the toilet walls which was not there before when she entered the cubicle. Thinking that perhaps she accidentally stained the wall, she began to wash off the blood stains. While splashing some water onto the wall, she suddenly realized that the blood stains were too high to be caused by her and immediately felt something very wrong. That was when she screamed and left the toilet.
No one spoke a word on their way back to Kuala Lumpur.

in my school days my science teacher cum religious muslim teacher .
he teach science in my class some time he gave a lacture about muslim too.
he told us mosque and surau is “dirtiest” place .
If you’re unlucky enough you will need unwanted incident
March 24th, 2008 at 12:13 pm
pisang, urrr… how come its the “dirties” place ar? i tot prayer places are supposedly to be the “cleaniest” ones?

I think it depends. I believe that the parameter close to the holy ground is still free of roaming spirits. But that’s so freaky … the blood on the wall. I do know that for girls, if you’re menstruating … you are more vulnerable to experience stuff like this. Just like to share two separate accounts.
My friend was at sungei wang mall, KL. She went to the washroom, and even though it was broad daylight outside, she saw the scariest thing in her life ever. At that time, she was menstruating too. As she opened the bathroom door, she saw this female figure dressed in a long red dress … she could only see her side profile but the female was licking off a sanitary pad that contained mesntrual blood. Apparently, so happen there was no one else in the washroom, and no one else following her to the washroom as well. My friend was sick with fever for a week after that incident.
A long time ago, when my dad was in his teens … he and his friends were at an old cinema watching a movie. He went to use the public toilet (those squat ones …) at the cinema. He had to do number 2, and so he had to squat. Just as he was about to finish, he saw blood dripping on the floor two feet away from him. He did not dare look up and just ran out as fast as possible … even without washing his hands

jjme, okay… that sg wang story is damn freaky… remind me not to drink so much when i’m shopping there!
March 27th, 2008 at 1:04 pm
thought females are not allowed to enter suraus when they are menstruating
March 28th, 2008 at 12:37 am
icequeen ….
surau and mosque is not place for prayer…
it also a place where they bathing the body and praying the “body”
before they buried it.
March 28th, 2008 at 9:29 am
pisang, thanks for the info! my muslim fren obviously gave me the wrong info when i asked her what is the surau actually for… i’ll go “scold” her later.. haha…
March 28th, 2008 at 11:10 pm
make sure you scold kaw kaw to her
waka ka ka ka ka ka ka……

Hello, excuse me, sorry to interrupt…….
First of all, let me get this straight. Suraus and Masjids are both the place to perform the prayer, and sometimes when a death occurs in a family, we’ll take the deceased to the surau or masjid for the process of bathe/clean and kafan the body. Kafan is the process of covering the body with white cloth called kain kafan. There’s a special place for the process and the place is actually within the mosque compound, not inside the prayer room.
Secondly, Suraus and Masjids are considered as a holy place, because us muslims refer to this place as The House of God (ALLAH). It is our duty to keep the place clean at all times, especially the praying area. They must be respected at all times. So, in this story, I assume that the narrator herself isn’t a muslim and so are her friends. I believe this incident happened because her friends didn’t respect the place, by barging in without covering the aurats. I’m not saying that non-muslims cannot enter the area but there are restrictions. For example, you can’t enter the place wearing shorts or tight fitting clothes; this goes to both men and women. More specific, the women must cover their hair and neck, cannot show both arms, only the hands can be seen. The hair, neck, arm, knees shins are what we called aurat. This particular area must be covered when you’re in the surau compound. Oh, and menstruating women are definitely not allowed within this area. Please keep that in mind.
Finally, I hope I’ve corrected those misunderstandings. The holy place aren’t haunted, it’s just that you have to respect these places. So, the next time you need to use the toliet in the surau area, you should remember to cover those we call aurats. Just a friendly reminder, thanks.

My Moslem friend said that the food of ‘ Jin or Poltergeist ‘ are bones and excreta. Thats why you all have all those strange encounters of the ether kind in the Toilets; eg. public toilets.
A local Newapaper once reported that a 4D punter striked Jackpot by praying to them and later thankd them by praying to them a hearthy feast of chicken, rice, fruits, drinks and of course Joss Papers.
So you see not all of them are bad. Apparently they just existed in another Dimension, another Vibration level, another Light World.
Our eyes cannot see everything, ie. we cannot see music, virus and wind. Hence what oue eyes cannot see does not mean there is nothing there.
Our Mobile-phone is the best example……can you see who are you talking too……..in the 1970s you will be despised as a Mad-man talking to the Ghosts. But now all cannot live without one too.
Mebbe sometimes in the not to distant future Man can REALLY talk to Ghosts via 010101- ??????? and perhaps check his Bank Underworld account too.

DJM is right, suraus & mosques are holy places. no such thing as evil or demons sitting inside. from the story, the gangs are not muslims and they do not know the boundary. came back from PD with gals & guys together, I wondered what happened there.. so, the guardian and God himself does not like or allow those who are not pure or commit sins!!
August 28th, 2008 at 3:35 pm
Hi to everyone..especially to Pisang..
I just want to clarify something here…about the truth behind the surau or masjid…
Surau or masjid are holy places for islamic for their prayers… and in terms of haunted..i have to admit that some of the places are haunted coz sometimes they serve as a place to “clean / bath’ the deceased one before burying them.So, it may be haunted…Only the surrounding area (e.g toilet) …
The place where the prayers are done is clean and no need to worry on any supernatural things…
Just felt like to explain..to every person who read through the post in this website…so that all of you can have a clear idea and not to be misunderstood…^_^

Hi everyone,
I know it’s been pretty long since the last post (which is on 28th August, 08).
But just want to strengthen the statement that suraus, mosques, any praying area for the Muslims aren’t considered to be “haunted” at all. The fact that they’re also the places for cleaning/bathing the dead ones doesn’t support why we should label these places as so-called haunted. Why do you think so? I don’t see it that way.
And there shouldn’t be any wandering spirit, poltergeist, any supernaturalistic things whatsoever near the mosques and suraus. Because these places are solely built for the purpose of worship and protection. Ghosts, spirits don’t hang around near these spots where goodness, pureness, sincereness to God are all that matter to us. Supernatural things will be easily defeated by the Azan (call for prayer), people reading the Quran, doing religious activities and others related. Strong in the heart alone can beat fear itself. I can’t recall back seeing “different than usual” things becoz we all have been to the mosques/suraus before many times to perform daily/Jumaat prayers. It’s how we (Muslims) think. And we consider it true. But even we Muslims cannot maintain the strength in our hearts, and we are constantly influenced by the devil’s wishes. We humans are all equal regardless of different religions.
As stated on the posts before me (thanks!), non-Muslims should care to cover up their attires before entering suraus/mosques. That’s just one of the natural rules under any circumstance. And behavior matters too.
Some questions toward the storyteller – Are you sure you weren’t hallucinating? I don’t know but humans are prone to imagination and hallucination. Because you know, it was 2 am and it was dark. You were a little tired/excited maybe. Maybe it’s not really blood. Toilets near suraus are always maintained clean. (Insight – I’m also prone to such hallucinations).
So just stick to the restrictions and thoughts and you’ll be fine, not just here but everywhere. Anyway I’ve mentioned the line “strong in the heart alone can beat fear itself”. Sometimes I can do it, MOST of the time .. I can’t. So just like you guys, I’ll be really scared if I encounter scary moments. I rather not to take any risk. ;D
Thank you. Sorry for being so serious.

to all you muslims that are trying to explain that the place isnt haunted..sounds like yous are offended and trying to justify why this happend.
well i believe no place is clean doesnt where you are.when i say not clean i dont its dirty either.any place could have good or evil entities.i dont believe these things would bother anyone unless theyre offended.when i was young i saw a figure in a church at night but i wasnt scared.
May 20th, 2009 at 12:43 pm
you do not go to any religious place when you are under the menstrual cycle ^^
May 25th, 2009 at 2:36 am

There are indeed spirits around the Suraus or Mosques Jade, These spirits are called Jinn, Jinns that recite or pray inside the surau are called Moslem Jinn. Sometime when you pray (perform solat) the Jinns would follow behind as makmum you’ll automatically set as an Imam, as it is normal for another moslem to follow behind. Makmun would chant God’s name at each stages of solat. During the solat Imam is not allowed to look behind.
Once finish, the Imam would notice that there’s no one behind, I think that’s normal. I have once experience following behind an Imam which I thought is a person, it was quite late at night as I was late for Isya’ prayer. This happened in Hotel’s surau. I then notice a diferent after finish praying. This Imam keeps on continuing for another rakaat, I count it was 12 rakaat while sitting behind the Imam which is not normal accept during the month of ramadan.
Isya’ was just 4 rakaat and normally would take around 5 minutes, frankly I did feel creepy at the time and slowly i make my way out.

From what I know, inside the prayer room is clean but doesn’t means no ghost or no paranormal thingy. As a muslim, I believe ghost is only Djin and Devil. Both can enter the prayer room if the place is not properly use. For muslim, please remember that even when we are praying, syaitan can whisper to our ear so we can’t focus and thinking bad think during prayer. So, it means syaitan also can enter the prayer room, but don’t know about bad Djin.
But in the story, it mention the haunted place is toilet. This must be true because toilet is also the place for Djin and we had been told that when azan, all Djin and Devil run into the toilet for hiding because it is a dirty place. Plus, the victim is in her menstrual period.

Surau or Masjid have spirit call ‘jin’. The ‘jin’ is not an evil. they will not disturb people otherwise the people did not follow the rules in Surau or Masjid. in this story, maybe the ‘jin’ disturb this girl because the girl do not closed the ‘aurat’. if we want to enter Surau or Masjid places. altough in a toilet. you need to close your ‘aurat’. you need to wear ‘tudung’ and wear a long jeans or shirt. but it’s better if you wear ‘tudung’ with a ‘baju kurung’.
September 4th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
hey guyz… why dont we just conclude that toilet are dirty and somehow “haunted” ? we’re no longer in surau rite?
September 7th, 2009 at 2:07 am
I hope that everyone got to shake and or wipe it off before they ran out of the bathroom…
December 3rd, 2009 at 1:28 pm
first of all, even for a muslim to intentionally go to surau or mosque simply to relieve themselves is not appropriate. im sure there is other place to leave your najis. and then for nonmuslim to simply leave their waste at a surau is obviously bad. i bet you can ask any muslim they wont do such thing as going to other temple/church to relieve themselves.we need to have respect for ppl’s religion. i agree that it is well-known fact that nobody during menstruation should go to any religious places.
to pisang: dont misconstrue ppl’s religion that you do nt understand and if youre not sure please dont try to convince others with your assumptions. i think u heard wrongly from your teacher.
January 22nd, 2010 at 11:32 pm
i’ve been to this surau with the same purpose..
wat i cud remember is, this surau was beside some kinda school.. and right in front of a small traffic light..
it looks like it has been abandoned.. the toilet were not in the surau but it was outside and under a big tree if im not mistaken..
no lights but darkness is all i can see.. the toilet were only 1 and its a very small cubicle…
i cud only say dat it’s spooky because there were some bushes behind the toilet and u can hear a lots of sounds…
but i’m not sure wether its haunted… its just spooky~~

Pisang, Pisang…. Could you entertain us who is this ‘qualified’ religious teacher of yours?
In matters like this, it is best to hear NOT ONLY from one “teacher’s point of view” but other many many qualified religious teachers & other peeps around.
This is the first time I’m hearing the deceased being bathed in mosques, who are you??
Of course when Muslims die, they all go through the PROPER last rites: are bathed and cleansed only by ‘qualified’ persons or their closest confidantes/relatives, before choosing to be brought to the mosque for prayers to help them lead a more peaceful after-journey, duh.
What, were you born yesterday??
Unless you are referring to the suraus at the cemeteries?
If mosques and suraus are dirty, nobody in the right mind will want to go there, socialize, worship, do all sorts of public activities, let alone BUILD them.
And what ‘unwanted incident’ are you referring to?? Encounters of the 3rd kind??
If a person dies, undeniably his/her soul is lifted away, does it makes sense that you can still feel the ‘presence’.
YOUR home can be haunted and dirty with lots of presence if they are unclean.
Unless you’re saying that the person had turned into a ghost right smack in a mosque??
Then that won’t be a ghost, it’s your shadow following you around…
I pity you, you should pay a visit to the many many mosques here in Singapore and Malaysia; at the rate how our technology is going, Go GOOGLE and get your info right before posting them.
Places of worship like mosques and suraus ARE clean but Not all of their public toilets.
As they are open to PUBLIC similar to those stinking friendly neighbourhood hawker centre, MRT, shopping centre toilets that are being used countlessly and mercilessly by irresponsible people who do not properly discard their ‘pollution’; such as women’s menstrual blood etc; this inadvertently attract the many grotesque wonderful species of spectres, morphing into ‘WAT THE HELL IS THAT’ thing or whatever magnificent entities your eyes are imagining.
And it’s true what others have mentioned it here, it gets worst if the girl has her period, it is because she IS ‘unclean’ and it gets even better if the guy or girl is weak, has low willpower and faith.
And nobody goes to unfamiliar territories or places if they are unclean.
Unclean things attach to unclean people.
You will be honey attracting the bees.
Abandoned buildings, hospitals, houses, unoccupied places of worship, unattended cemeteries…. these are all the more reasons why spirits, ghosts, genies & encounters of the 3rd kind like to attach themselves to these places. Tell me which human does??
They are deserted & neglected and who goes to an abandoned toilet alone at night?
What, can’t you avoid these places? Isn’t that asking for trouble? There are things waiting to jump on you, duh…
