A quirky experience that is more to tickle your fancy than actually scare you is the Ghost Museum Melaka.

On their Facebook page, they invite you to: “Come on and scare out ghosts!!!!

The museum uses augmented reality (AR) technology which is an interactive experience with computer-generated images overlaying the user’s real view.

Come to think of it, this museum might not be for the faint-hearted but it sure is Instagram worthy! Plus you get to learn about different ghosts from around the world.

For the month of September only, they have a promotion where tickets are only RM8 and valid until July 2022 (the usual price starts from RM18 for adults and RM10 for seniors).

Address: Ghost Museum Melaka, No 43, Jalan Kampung Hulu, Kampung Dua, 75200 Melaka

If selfies with pontianaks, toyols and orang minyak are a bit too niche for you, perhaps the sand dunes at Pasir Klebang are more your thing and it’s free!

The dunes were a result of a land reclamation project in the Klebang area and are said to be a hidden attraction.

To get to the sand dunes, click here. Get ready to do some walking though as it takes anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes to actually get to the sand dunes.

The trek there is also said to have no shade so make sure to pile on the sunblock and wear a hat or carry an umbrella.

4. “Visit” one of Melaka’s most famous residents and athletes

While you can’t actually meet the man himself, you can however visit one of the few gold and bronze statues the state has built for him.

For children, there’s also a “Lil Monster Kitchen’ where they can learn how their MAMEE Monster snacks are made.

There is also a café on-site and cute merchandise to boot.
