This is what i heard from my mother. My mother came from malaysia, she's a chinese though, so this story happened in malaysia. she was very young when it happened. Anyway, back then malaysia wasnt very developed. every house was seperated by at least 200 m of dense forest with small path created by repeated walking. so once her uncle was coming home from work at a granite quarry, and half way he say a girl stand facing a tree. so he went to the girl and ask if she's okay. the girl didnt say anything and continue running deeper into the forest, trying to avoid him. but he ran after the girl and he patted his shoulder. and the girl turned around and his whole was was bloody (my mother didnt discribe very detailed). anyway, whn he saw it, he quickly turn n run away. but the ghost's head followed him (sound stupid, but im nt making it out) until a river, where the ghost couldnt follow coz river gt river god or wadeva i dunno. so anyway, after he reach home he fell sick n died on the next day.
moral of story, if gt ghost chase u, run to singapore river!
