I have a story, from my mother...
My mother is a malaysian from K. Trengganu. She lived with 4 other sibilings and her mother in the Kumpong, their father left them for another woman. But my grandmother still took care of her parent-in-laws at her house. Their house was very big. It was divided into two hall ways, the front one being the dinning room and all and the back hallway was their bedrooms. There were about 4 bedrooms, one for my great-grandparents, one for my grandmother and the other two split between the 5 sibilings. They were very poor.
Anyway, my ah ma, being rather traditional, followed the belief of making funeral clothings for her in-laws in hope of bringing them longetivity. But my great-grandpa could hold in not much one day and he passed away...
My grandmother then arranged for his funeral and all. However, on the day he died, while my ah ma was sewing funeral clothings for the decendents to wear outside her in-laws' room, she saw her father in law walked out. She only saw his lower body, in his usual pants., walking towards her. Ah ma was too shocked to do anything, so she just sat there, awaiting what might happen next. Suddenly, the figure just disappeared into thin air. My ah ma spun around and realised the god alter was just behind her.
Her father in law just couldn't go near the alter. After that, there were no more sightings of him anymore.
