Fright nights for villagers after ‘Bigg Foot’ sightingsg g
RESIDENTS of a village in Bachok, Kelantan, are having restless nights after sightings of a mysterious animal, said to be a “Big Foot” of sorts, in their vicinity.
The creature, apparently, would call out their names at dusk, Sinar Harian reported, and those who unknowingly responded to the call would have a fever for weeks.
As a result, most of the villagers would not venture out of their homes at night.
These fright nights started when a resident, Zubaidah Abdullah, 50, claimed that she frequently dreamt about two six-foot monkey-like creatures which would come out of a big tree behind her mother’s house.
“I was shocked that I could communicate with them. Sometimes I felt like they were sleeping next to me,” she said, adding that she would then recite religious verses to chase them away.
Her other siblings also had the same experience.
The services of a spiritual healer have been sought to deal with the situation.
