This is what happens when you open TikTok at 3am.
After two years of quieter, smaller festivities due to the pandemic, many Muslims rejoiced in the fact that they could finally have no restrictions on gatherings this Hari Raya. However, Hari Raya visits got a little too lively for this Nur Iqah Adam, a Tiktoker with more than 45,000 followers.
On 4 May 2022, the mother of lone posted a 12-second video detailing 2 related paranormal encounters she experienced during Hari Raya.
The First Visit
During her first house visit, Nur was startled when her uncle asked about the whereabouts of her “other daughter”. She told him that she only had one son.
Her uncle then told her that he thought he saw a “small girl” with Nur. Nur simply uttered “Oh” and brushed off the issue.
The Second Visit
The “little girl” appeared again during her second house visit. When Nur entered the house, her aunt said:-
“I didn’t know you had a daughter, I saw her holding your hand at the gate.”
A Plausible Explanation?
Nur’s mum and stepdad told her that the “little girl” perhaps mistook her as her mother and followed her.
Recounting the incident in disbelief, Nur wrote, “two different uncle and aunty at two different houses saw and said the same thing so… Yeap. I can’t.”
She added that she was so frightened that she was going to sleep with her son and helper that evening.
Nur said that, on hindsight, this paranormal incident may have occurred due to her forgetting to recite a religious prayer which protected people from “mishaps and evil” when she left her house. To her, this was a lesson learnt.
Many in the comment section said that they experienced goosebumps when they watched Nur’s video. One user named CikPonti (in Malay folklore, a Pontianak is the ghost of a woman who has died in childbirth), apologised to Nur and said that her child may have been confused.
