The Legend Of Orang Minyak
In Malaysia, many myths or legends about ghosts and supernatural beings abound.
One of the most well-known is the urban legend of the orang minyak.
Jet black, sticky, and naked, the orang minyak was so famous that it was made into a movie named Sumpah Orang Minyak in 1958.
The orang minyak is said to have the ability to enter a locked house easily.
In addition, the orang minyak can quickly disappear into the night if chased because his body was smeared with shiny black oil.
The orang minyak can also cling to the ceiling like a lizard.
Contrary to popular belief, the orang minyak does not exist in historical Malay folklore.
The orang minyak (meaning "oily person") is said to be a man whose body is covered in black oil, making him hard to see in the dark and too slippery to catch. He's said to kidnap young women https://t.co/h8Dl0EO0Sf pic.twitter.com/GssykyiuBV
