Pontianak in UITM Arau

This story is contributed by an ex-colleague of mine who happened to tell me this story after I kept pestering her for hours.

This happened to my brother during his studies at UITM in Arau. It was during one of those exam period in UITM Arau when most of the students were busy studying and burning midnight oil. My brother was nonetheless, one of those last minute UITM Arau students who prefered to study under the examination pressure. He claimed that he saw a pontianak with long hair 3 days in a row just right before his examinations.

You see, his desk was facing the outside window where the view were tress and grasses. At around midnight, he suddenly saw something that caught his eye and looked up from his books. It was a pontianak “crusing” past his window but it seemed to him that the pontiank could not see him. He immediately did a double take and looked behind at his roommate who was fast asleep. My brother turned back towards the window and of course, there was nothing but the calm and dark night scenery. Why was my brother so sure that he saw a pontianak? Well, one thing’s for sure is that whatever that was, it was no human because he was on the 3rd floor of UITM Arau’s campus.

One the second night, he decided to burn midnight oil again. It seemed to me that the incident the night before did not deter him from his determination. Around the same time again, something caught his eye and his immediate reaction was to look out of the window. It was the same pontiank “crusing” past his window slowly. At first, it seemed that the pontianak could not see him but then as sudden as it appeared it suddenly turned towards my brother as it was passing by. My brother was, of course, shock and decided call it a night off. Although he was still shaking, he had no problem dozing off after a while because of the intense study during the day.

On the third night (the last night before his exams), the same thing happened again. You might again ask me why is my brother so brave after 2 scary nights but all I can say is I guess my brother’s afraid of failure more than pontianaks! This time, as the pontianak was slowly “crusing” by the window, it was staring right at my brother’s face for at least 5 minutes. She had a really, really long hair with pale skin and bloodshot eyes. The most scariest part was that she had red stains around her mouth which was pretty striking considering her pale translucent skin. My brother could not really remember what happened next but he did not manage to sit for his exams either because he ran high fever for the following days for a week.

“Pontianak - also known as the vampire where it is belief that they are usually ladies dressed in white seeking for revenge. The pontianak is said to be the spirit of a woman died of childbirth. Most of the time, they can look very beautiful but if you look closely, she would have razor sharp teeth. They usually comes out after the sun sets searching for men or pregnant women (apparently, it is said that she could not bear the thought of other women being able to enjoy motherhood) to suck blood. Sometimes, they even eat the flesh of babies ripped out from their mother’s womb.” Source
