My Story: This incident happened in Sep, 1992 and I was 9 months pregnant with my second baby, a boy. Lately I have this feeling of being watched whenever I went near to my master-bedroom window.

Then one evening, I was feeling very..very tired and went to bed at around 9 pm. My husband was working afternoon shift and I expected him to be back around 12:30 midnight.

I was awoken suddenly by something which I don't know what! I heard something at my bedroom window, like someone tapping on the window pane. Slowly, but surprisingly without any fright, I went to the window...it was wide open. Even the window grill was open which was impossible as it was always locked. Then I saw something like a big white bird with long black hair and black/dark, not so clear face. But I did see the fangs when she smile at me(gosh..I'm having goosebumps even now when I tell you this story and it is the ghost month now!). She wave for me to come nearer to her..and although I can't see her mouth moving, I kind of hear her say..(in Malay) "Come to me. Follow me". I was sane enough to tell her "No..no...don't come near me. I never disturb you, you please don't disturb me. Don't disturb my baby..". Then she said "I want your baby..." But I screamed at her.."I'll burn you with my prayers"..and proceed to read aloud the "Ayatul-kursy"(a prayer from the Holy Quran). She move further from the window and said "I'll come to look for you again..for the baby" and she fly in the night. I did not hear her famous laughter like in the movies..but it was all like in a dream...like in trance. My husband came back after a while and found me still by the wide open window. I told him the incident and the next day, my mother brought me to see a holy man. He gave me a black cloth which I wore like a belt around my waist. I felt safer after that.

But true as she said, she came back again...but this time in the hospital the night I just delivered by baby boy by ceasarean section. I was still under anesthesia, so it felt like a dream. The window blew open and she glided into my ward. I was all alone for it was 2 bedded room and the other bed was empty. Her face this time round was really ugly...the eyes red and her face skin looked wrinkled so much like its going to peel off. I was real frightened. She grabbed me by the arm and flew out of the window with me along...yes, I fly with her. She flew so fiercely fast I was screaming for her to stop ...to let me go. I can see that I was so high up in the sky that I can even feel the cloud in my face. She then let me go, and I flew fiercely to the ground. When I reached the ground my head hit the earth with such a splitting pain that I screamed and screamed, so convinced that I must be dead. I saw her white dress near me, slowly I looked up to see her face, but she quickly turn away and flew. Just then my eyes was blinded by bright light. A nurse had turned on the room light and found me on the floor in my ward. Needless to say, she was terrified. I was bleeding profusely (from giving birth, you know). It was chaotic for a while but they manage to get me in the bed, changed me and give me a jab to make me sleep.

I am not sure if the incident really happened or just a dream but I did know that till now I suffered migrained attack and I still have the dent in my skull where my head hit the floor. I suffered what the people now called as 'post natal blues' but with the help of my husband, mum and family members, I came out of it. I was most thankful though to know that my son, my one and only, was save and in good health till today. When I became pregnant the next time round, I did not wait for the pontianak to come to me..be it real or in my dreams, but I went to look for the holy man for the charm to keep the pontianak away.
