The common ghost figures we would see in Malaysia would be a “Pontianak.” The other runner ups would be the “Pochong,” “Toyol,” “Bunian,” and many others. For the most part, these beings are commonly told among the residents within Southeast Asia.
“Pontianaks” roaming at night
An X user was complaining about a woman with long hair hanging out until the wee hours of the night. However, the user then describes the woman as having long black hair, and would love to sit on trees. For those who know, they’d then puzzle the pieces together knowing that it is a “ponti.”
Another user jokingly told the original poster to tell the person to go home as it’s late at night. For obvious reasons, it wouldn’t be too wise to do that, especially to a strange being at odd hours of the night.
