Michael Jackson's Ghost
A video that has gained a lot of attention since Michael Jackson's death, this report shows a shadowy figure during a report segment of a Larry King CNN programme.
Toyol
i stumbled the video at http://malayghosts.blogspot.com/. The video was captured using CCTV. You can see the image of "Toyol" walking down the street and it's really scary (if you believe). It's actually a TOyOL, a ghost name called by Malay people.
A Toyol or Tuyul is a mythical spirit in the Malay mythology of South-East Asia (notably Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore). It is a small child spirit invoked by a bomoh (Malay witch doctor) from a dead human foetus using black magic. It is possible to buy a toyol from such a bomoh.
A person who owns a toyol uses it mainly to steal things from other people, or to do mischief. According to a well-known superstition, if money or jewellery keeps disappearing mysteriously from your house, a toyol might be responsible. One way to ward off a toyol is to place some needles under your money, for toyols are afraid of being hurt by needles.
But.. i don't think it was toyol.. more look like a snake to me.
What about this?

Bomoh returns ‘toyol’ to sea
KUANTAN: The bottle believed to contain a toyol – a mythical supernatural creature – has been returned to the sea.
The 20cm-high bottle, which had a red-eyed figure dressed in a black cloak, was found by a fisherman on the beach in Kampung Kuala Pahang in Pekan on Feb 21. The fisherman then passed the item to a bomoh.
PUPPET ONLY: The bottle which was said to house a toyol had been thrown back into the sea.
The bottle was then handed to the museum in Pekan the following day where it attracted a lot of attention.
State Museum director Ahmad Farid Abdul Jalal said the museum conducted a simple study on the object and found that it was only a puppet, which was then returned to the bomoh.
The bomoh threw it back into the sea yesterday.
“We believe it had been used by someone for some healing ritual and it was thrown into the sea maybe because the owner wanted to get rid of it,” Ahmad Farid said.
He added that the bottle could have been washed ashore when the fisherman found it.
