Stones thrown nightly at Seremban house.
Poltergeist at it again.
Standard Malay Correspondent.
Seremban, Tues. – It appears the poltergeist which was busy throwing stones at a house in Malacca has made Seremban its new home. The house of Tengku Mustaffa, Deputy Chairman of the Seremban Town Board, is the new target of the poltergeist’s stones. For the last few days pebbles have been hurled at Tengku Mustaffa’s house nightly from 7 p.m. till midnight. The pebbles used by the poltergeist were of the type used in road building and which cannot be found in that vicinity. Eye-witnesses who saw the pebbles said that the “poltergeist or ghost or whatever it is must have taken a lot of trouble in gathering the pebbles.”
The Mentri Besar of Negri Sembilan, Dato Haji Abdul Malik, who visited the house at the time the poltergeist was busy throwing pebbles at the house, was nearly hit by one of them. However, the poltergeist only concentrated on throwing stones at the house and did not at all disturb the occupants nor try to damage the crockery or furniture in the house.
Besides the Mentri Besar, the Chief Police Officer of Negri Sembilan and other high officials of the state have visited the house and seen for themselves the stones being thrown at the house.
