When I was at the age of 8, my sister and I used to go and have religious classes at my Mum’s friend house. Her house was located just opposite West Plaza. Sadly, after the incident, we both stopped having our classes there.

Usually before attending the class, my sister and I would play near the playground with our friends. There was this old big tree that we enjoy playing at. The tree easily towered over me 5 is to 1.

That day, we were playing hide and seek. Donny ( fake name ) was the seeker and my sister, friends and I were supposed to hide. So, fortunately or not, my sister and I hid under that old wrecked tree. The tree was so big that it managed to hide us both.

That day was the day we discovered that there was a doll. The doll was about the size of my palm, with human-like features. It had a freaky smile and it’s eyes were the size of the ordinary marbles you guys have. Wearing a traditional costume of the Chinese, the doll was hanged and pinned to the branch by a red thread.

Astonished by how it got there, I deliberately touched it. Upon touching it, the world around me felt small, weird and cold. And that’s when I realized that I was turned into a doll, from my hand all the way to my head.

My sister saw me dangling only with only my leg mid-air grabbing the doll and screamed. Not only that she give way to our hiding spot, the doll had a more freakier smile after that. I too panicked and tried to escape. Donny and the rest then pulled me out of the trance.

The doll then screamed. Afraid, we ran to our class.

Until now, the doll is there.

Be careful if you see a doll that has the same description that I’ve mentioned. According to the research I’ve done, the doll is actually a curse made by the “bomoh” last time in Singapore because of the Chinese-Malay racial riot…and they hope that they can capture the chinese kids as revenge.

Stay safe.
