Ghost Museum

Penang Ghost Museum is a fun, scary and interesting place. It is a great place to let us learn more about the different cultures of ghost tales in different countries. The tales starts from our local Malaysian tales from Malay tales to Chinese tales. Then we will travel around to a few countries like Egypt to meet the all mighty Cleopatra and then set sail along with the pirates to their mysterious hideouts. 

                The Chinese has a tale about the Chinese zombies which are called JiangShi. A JiangShi which is also known as the chinese "hopping" vampire, ghost or zombies. It is a type of reanimated corpse in chinese folklore. It is typically depicted as a stiff corpse that is dressed in official garments from the Qing Dynasty and it moves around not by walking or running but then by hopping with their hand straight up 90 degree from their bodies. 

              Next there are also Malay myths about a black mysterious creature appearing in the nights on the ceiling of their houses. They say that these are called as Orang Minyak which is also literally known as the Oily Man in English. Orang Minyak is a man that is naked and dresses himself in black oil and was a man who was cursed in an attempt to win back his love with dark magic. He was offered by a devil and in return he must worship the devil by rapping 21 virgins in a week.

              Furthermore there are also ghost from Japan and also Vampires. Just to not spoil the fun, how about just head out there and explore more for yourselves. I promise you would not regret by taking a trip there. Here are the prices and information that you may need to go there.

Please take note that I'm not helping them to advertise this but just with my experience that I feel that it's a very fun and interesting place and just wanted to share to all of you out there if you're a fan for ghost and ghouls. The price is quite reasonable for me as with a student card you only need RM10 to enter and enjoy and also play with the props that are supplied in there. So I hope you guys enjoy!
