Forest spirit inhabited big enormous trees and sometimes take fancy of scaring the hell out of human that’s trespass its territory, yet it also feast on fresh flesh and this would be a bad omen if you tend to cross their path while they’re hungry.My uncle used to work in a timber factory up north Sandakan, it was holiday seasons so most of the workers went back to celebrate it with their family. He was left with another buddies of him on an abandon workplace. It happened when they were driving back to their boarding house at noon after checking the lumber. An old woman was walking slowly carrying a basket on her shoulder, feeling pity they offer her a ride. She told them that she was looking for herbs and didn’t notice that she went so far to the heart of the forest. In short, they went back together. They insist the old woman to stay for the night and promise to send her off the next day. My uncle left the old grandmamma with his friend and went to write on their daily reports for a while. Returning to his room, he heard a soft moaning sound from his friend rooms. Curiosity made my uncle move closer to his friend rooms. He heard another sound; “rattling of something”, woman laughing and his friend moaning. My uncles took a peek and saw the old woman floating in the air just above his friend, which is now laid helplessly while his chest is being rip to bits. That was enough for him to flee and run, never look back until he is safely inside a nearby village and at the care of the folks there. What happened to his friend? dead. and the old woman? never to be found
