Malaysians in general love to listen to ghost stories. Spooky, eerie and strange tales always fascinate us. Whether you reside in the remotest area of the tropical jungle of Malaysia or in the hip, modern and bright city of Kuala Lumpur, once in a while we all love to be 'scared'. Indeed, I've heard some weird but nevertheless interesting stories from the occupants of the highly sophisticated building in this region... the Twin Towers! So... let me share with you some of those horror tales of the tallest twin towers in the world. Ready? Lets dim the light now...

Story 1: THE LIFT
One night, very late at night indeed, when all the occupants of the towers had long gone back to their homes, one young newly joined security guy was making his very first patrol in one of the towers. Our guy got into the lift and pressed the button to go to the XX floor. It was one of those floors located way,way above the ground.

Our security personnel was feeling a bit lonely riding the lift alone in the middle of the night... so what would the poor chap do in order to entertain himself? He whistled tune of his favourite song, of course. A few seconds later, the lift suddenly stopped at a floor located a few floors below where he initially wanted to go. Well, may be somebody was working late and wanted to go somewhere else in the building before going back home, our guy thought. But, wait. He suddenly remembered that the floor was among few which had not been occupied yet. He started to feel a bit uneasy.

The lift door slowly opened. True enough, the floor was unoccupied. No office furniture, no nice interior decor and it was almost pitch black in darkness if not for some light coming from the full moon which could be seen clearly from the floor to ceiling glass window.

And there was a figure standing right by the window.

A woman with long black hair. She seemed to be looking down to the floor and thus her hair covered almost all of her face. Wearing a long, old, dirty looking white color long gown, the woman kept on standing very still. The young guard called out for her asking if she wanted to ride the lift but there was no response. The air in the lift suddenly was filled with strong smell of flower... something similar to the smell of Ylang Ylang flowers, species that can be found in abundance in this region. That was then when he heard it!

A very distinctive sound of whistling. The same tune to the melody of the song that he had whistled in the lift earlier. The whistle sound grew louder and the pitch became hauntingly higher. Funnily, the whistle sound actually seemed to come from the woman. She then slowly lifted her head. Now she was staring right at the guy. Her eyes were all white! Her skin was so pale that it looked even whiter then her off-white color gown. She started to crack a sinister smile and continued whistling the haunting melody.

Frantically, the poor guy pressed the lift button to close the door. And as if in cue, the woman started to 'glide' slowly nearer to the lift. She was only a few feet away from the lift when the lift door started to close in. She then stopped whistling, open her mouth wide and stuck out her tounge. A thick, black, hairy tounge! Yuck! The tounge then seemed to extend forward and became longer... and longer... and longer until it was almost touching the door! The tounge was trying to reach him! In the nick of time, the door finally managed to be closed completely...
