A study and research group based in Malaysia formed by members worldwide. Objective is to share knowledge and information, revealing the facts and the hoaxes on related fields among readers and members, freelance researcher or research societies.
I have been following PRSG official blog for quite some years now and I'm so anxious everytime I open the blog to read any new findings and new articles. Keep on the good work guys and may all your efforts be blessed.
I would like to share some of my personal experience of encountering paranormal entities especially what most people called 'GHOST'. It was happened when I was visiting a famous fort in Manila, Philippine years ago. I was exploring few of the dungeon and I took several photo to show to my friends back home. I didn't realized there was something eerie inside my photos until one of my friend show it again to me. it was the figure of a man. On closer inspection the man became a soldier dressed in full period uniform of the Japanese Army! He stands holding his rifle in front, with the butt at his feet. Has this soldier been captured in an ethereal moment in time, whilst standing guard over his prisoners? And in addition there was also a bright , strange and random specks of light which clearly seen in the photo? Were they merely the reflection of the flash in the camera - or were they a strange atmospheric phenomenon or something else?
In this close up, his hat, nose, mouth and ears can be clearly discerned. It is a ghostly and inexplicable apparition. It's really gave me a creeps and I would like the readers and other researchers to give comments bout the eerie phenomenon
Balete Drive ghost stories have been around allegedly since the 1950s. The most popular is a “white lady” that haunts the long avenue and seems to target cab drivers in particular—but not exclusively. The hair-raising accounts went through the years, many claiming to have personally seen this mysterious lady. Paranormal experts believe that the white lady was raped by Japanese soldiers during the Second World War, and other version was in one late night a cab driver violated a pretty girl on her way home. Since then, the ghost stories started and circulated in the metropolis. Witnesses of the white lady, advise motorists to avoid the street at night, especially if they are alone. If it is necessary to travel the route, they advise that the backseat of the car is fully occupied and that no one should look back or look in any mirrors.
The apparition wears a night gown, has long hair but has no face or one covered with blood. This has somewhat become part of Philippine folklore unofficially. Other ghost tales of Balete Drive include spirit kingdoms, spirit creatures, and haunted houses.
Another view of Balete Drive
Balete Drive connects the long span between E.Rodriguez and N. Domingo Avenues in New Manila, Quezon City. It’s about 45 minutes travel from Manila via the Cubao route through Espana and E. Rodriguez Avenue. The Balete Drive corner at E. Rodriguez is a bustling business area mushroomed with fast foods and other establishments.

Mysterious cases still surrounding the house history
Based on the email received by Paracrypt RSG, this house was actually build nearly 20 years ago and till date nobody wants to stay or even live in this house due to various disturbance and haunting. One of the famous story about the house was how the tenants were mysteriously moved or shift from inside of the house to outside near the roadside by unknown force or in the other term- ghost. How far the claim was true no one knows but the house still standing and empty till date. Any Bruneian from Kuala Belait is highly appreciate to flow some information of the real stories behind the phenomenon.
ATAS: NOR Kharunisa menunjukkan imej lelaki tidak berkaki (bulatan) di belakangnya yang muncul apabila gambar itu dirakam di sebuah restoran di Johor Bahru baru-baru ini. KIRI IMEJ lembaga bertudung dengan muka yang kabur (bulatan) ini didakwa tidak kelihatan sewaktu gambar ini dirakamkan di Air Hitam, Muar baru-baru ini. JOHOR BAHRU -
Belum reda kisah lembaga 'wanita kebaya merah' di Lebuh Raya Utara-Selatan, kini timbul pula kisah dua orang di sini yang terkejut melihat gambar mereka rupa-rupanya ada imej lain yang tidak disangka-sangka.
Nor Kharunisa Abd. Ghani, 24, mendakwa dalam sekeping gambar yang dirakam menggunakan telefon bimbit di sebuah restoran di sini baru-baru ini meresahkannya kerana ada imej 'lelaki tidak berkaki' di belakangnya.
"Saya hanya menyedari imej ganjil yang kabur itu apabila memasukkan gambar itu ke komputer.
"Pada mulanya saya ingatkan itu adik angkat saya, tetapi dia ketika itu duduk di hadapan saya,'' ceritanya ketika ditemui Kosmo! di sini semalam.
IMEJ lembaga bertudung dengan muka yang kabur (bulatan) ini didakwa tidak kelihatan sewaktu gambar ini dirakamkan di Air Hitam, Muar baru-baru ini.
Dakwanya, sejak kejadian itu perasaannya menjadi tidak tenang kerana terasa seperti diekori.
Sementara itu, seorang lagi yang mendakwa berjaya merakamkan gambar ganjil, Mazluini Jema'an, 36, berkata, dia terkejut apabila ada imej wanita bertelekung tanpa muka muncul di hadapan gambar seorang saudaranya.
Lagenda Datu Merpati dan Datu Merpati Jepang di Sarawak merupakan sebuah lagenda dan sejarah yang berkaitan dengan asal usul perabangan serta keturunan Raden di Sarawak. Namun terdapat beberapa kekeliruan serta percanggahan fakta dari segi kesahihan serta salasilah yang juga berhubungkait dengan salasilah Kesultanan Sambas dan Brunei dimana menurut lagenda ini terdapat hubungan tali kekeluargaan diantara ketiga-tiga negeri ini. Sejauh mana ianya benar terpulang kepada mereka yang mengetahui.
Berbagai kajian telah dijalankan oleh individu, badan serta pengkaji sejarah yang berminat akan kisah yang dianggap satu khazanah bagi Sarawak. Akan tetapi terdapat berbagai versi, mitos dan juga kekaburan dari segi fakta mahupun penceritaan. sungguhpun terdapat banyak kawasan yang dikaitkan dengan kehadiran Datu Merpati ke Borneo, kajian terhadap lagenda ini bukan bertujuan untuk mempertikai atau membuat persepsi negatif keatas aliran keturunan pihak tertentu, tetapi ingin merungkai apa sebenarnya berlaku dan siapa sebenarnya tokoh ini. Adakah beliau hanya sebuah mitos hikayat lama seperti tokoh lain umpamanya Hang Tuah, Bendahara Tepok, Puteri Gunung Ledang dan sebagainya? atau beliau benar-benar wujud tetapi riwayat kisah beliau telah diubah atau ditokok tambah agar penceritaannya lebih menarik, ataupun ianya adalah satu dari adaptasi hikayat lain dan kemudian dimasukkan kedalam penulisan kisah beliau?
Walau apapun teorinya, nama Datu Merpati@Raden Merpati merupakan sebuah nama yang begitu sinonim dengan peradaban Melayu Sarawak khasnya. Sambas dan Brunei yang juga dikaitkan tentang asal penubuhan kerajaannya juga diceritakan didalam lagenda ini.
Paracrypt Research and Study Group juga tidak melepaskan peluang untuk membuat kajian tokoh yang bersejarah ini dan cuba merungkai misteri disebalik lagenda ini berdasarkan beberapa rujukan dan fakta sejarah peradaban dan kesusasteraan nusantara. Namun hasil kajian ini tidak bermakna 100% ianya harus diterima, tetapi mungkin boleh membantu kajian lanjut dan menjadi batu loncatan kepada kajian atau expedisi yang lain malah pendapat mahupun input dalam berbagai bentuk juga amat dialu-alukan dalam menjejak dan merungkai siapakah sebenarnya DATU MERPATI@RADEN MERPATI
There are many kinds of beliefs in this world about the types of ghosts. One of the more popular types of ghosts in our local culture are the Malay ghosts. Of course, there are also the Chinese ghosts, English ghosts and even Indian ghosts depending on your religion, race and beliefs.

They usually comes out after the sun sets searching for men or pregnant women (apparently, it is said that she could not bear the thought of other women being able to enjoy motherhood) to suck blood. Sometimes, they even eat the flesh of babies ripped out from their mother’s womb.
Toyol These are actually ghostly kids that people adopt for the objective of stealing other people’s money. It is believed that this spirit is kept and preserved in a jar in a form of a foetus.
