Burglar: I Was Held Captive By Ghost For 3 Days

A burglar who broke into a house claims he was held captive by a "supernatural figure" for three days without food and water, officials said.

Police official Abdul Marlik Hakim Johar told The Star newspaper the house's owners found the 36-year-old man fatigued and dehydrated when they returned from vacation Thursday.

He says they called an ambulance to take him to a hospital.

The man told police that every time he tried to escape, a "supernatural figure" shoved him to the ground.

Abdul Marlik could not immediately be reached and other police officials declined to comment.

And a woman who floored her pickup across a parking lot into a health center in my town and killed two people, said a supernatural force held her foot to the gas pedal.

So ok.

Wowie Zowie! They even got pictures?!?

Someone said Malaysia.

Okay... this article as posted on HuffPost is deficient.

The Dateline is: KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia Dec 13, 2008

Thank you. Placing the location might have been the first thing the article did, you would have thought. .

Most any "report" about ghost or the "supernatural" usually has a thousand holes in it.

And then he took his lithium.

I wonder if his rear is going to be violated by an incarcerated spectral force?

With apologies to George Carlin, jokes about rape of real people, regardless of gender, who they are or what they've done, are reprehensible.

[OneWoman]

Amen.

[dotmafia]

and. . . where did this happen?!?

[NoblesseOblige]

This headline reads like a supermarket tabloid, and certainly not like what one would expect to find at HuffPo.

[killmenow]

I guess we should be expecting this kind of absolute crap now. The only reason I clicked on this story was because I couldn't believe that this would be a HuffPo story. Sad. I also expected to read a lot of comments saying just that. Sad.

...too bad ghosts aren't political.

Poor Abdul. He didn't stand a ghost of a chance.

[machivellianX]

hah, you never know.....I'm agnostic, but this story intrigues me. It is foolish to think that all there is, is the visible world. Scientific study suggests there is far more going on around us than meets the eye.

somebody call Jason and Grant from Ghost Hunters to get them to investigate-or wait maybe this falls under the Ghost Hunters International team's jurisdiction...

[jesuswazasocialist]

Sounds like an X-file, call Fox Mulder.

[corrupted1]

then the crack wore off.....lol

[dissanayake]

He sees "Dead People" !!

[MDHutchinson]

Was this before or after the man with the hook started ominously tapping on the window?
