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.

Maybe Oprah should try burglary next time she wants to drop a few.

No location, no source... This is not a story, it's a fairy tale.

This article kreeped me out. Agreed this would make a hell of a film. Let's put David Fincher on that.

Sounds like what Bush and Cheney did to American's, only it's lasted longer than 3 days.

Haha, ghostly burgler busters. Every home should have one. So was this in the US?

That headline is not very accurate.

He didn't say it was a ghost... he said it was a "supernatural figure."

It could have been God, flying spagetti monster, drugs, angels, drugs, Buddah, guilt-coupled-with-drugs...

... ghosts is only one possible explaination among many, see?

The AP headline says Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

COOL! THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT PLOT FOR A FILM!

No more long-haired scary girls though. Done to death....
