Extra | The Toyol of Malaysia & Singapore | Supernatural Folklore & Dark Legends

n this week’s episode, we explore one of Southeast Asia’s most unsettling supernatural figures: the Toyol. Known throughout Malaysia, Singapore, and parts of Indonesia, the Toyol is said to be the spirit of a dead child, invoked and kept by practitioners of black magic to carry out theft, mischief, or even vengeance. Often described as small, greenish or grey-skinned with sharp teeth and red eyes, this entity is bound to a master who feeds and cares for it in return for its services. But using a Toyol comes with a cost — one that often spirals into tragedy.

The Ghost Month and Hungry Ghost Festival | True Scary Folklore Stories

The Ghost Month is a traditional Chinese festival rooted in Buddhist and Taoist beliefs. This annual event, typically observed in the seventh month of the Chinese lunar calendar, is a time when it is believed that the gates of the underworld open, releasing the spirits of the deceased to roam the earthly realm. The Ghost Month is a cultural phenomenon that provides valuable insight into the Chinese perception of life, death, and the metaphysical world, embodying the essence of filial piety, respect for ancestors, and the interplay of fear and reverence towards the supernatural. Alongside the ghost month, the hungry ghost festival is held on the the 15th day of the seventh lunar month (this year falling on the 30th August) In Chinese Heritage in the Making: Experiences, Negotiations, and Contestations, scholar Selina Ching Chan writes The Festival "involves various rituals aimed at appeasing the hungry ghosts and providing them with offerings. People make food offerings, burn incense and joss paper and set up temporary altars or stages for performances. These offerings are meant to provide nourishment and fulfill the needs of the wandering spirits,” **Please note that we will now be releasing Sunday's episode to Monday in the future** Join Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUP Subscribe to our PATREON EMAIL us your stories Follow us on YOUTUBE Join us on INSTAGRAM Join us on TWITTER Join us on FACEBOOK Visit our WEBSITE Research Link One Research Link Two Story One - Retelling Thanks so much for listening and we'll catch up with you again on Thursday.

Demonic Possession

An Exorcist Tells His Story In his book of 1990, 'An Exorcist Tells His Story,' Father Gabriele Amorth, who was the chief exorcist of Rome, identified four, uniquely defined stages of demonic possession - infestation, oppression, obsession and lastly, possession. First comes infestation, where a demonic entity will introduce itself to its intended victim, often under the guise of a deceased loved one, to offer comfort during a time of mourning, or as a friend to a lonely child experiencing a tumultuous time. The infestation stage can continue for several years until any such activity has become normalised, allowing the evil presence to fully infiltrate the life of their proposed prey and begin the manipulation of mind, body and soul.
