槟城鬼怪博物馆 Ghost Museum Penang

Ghost Museum Penang

槟城鬼怪博物馆是间有趣的双层老屋，把我们平日避而远之的鬼怪呈现在眼前。从东南亚热带乡野的香蕉女鬼、穿越到中国湘西道长赶尸、神秘的埃及法老王金字塔、接着巧遇日本贞子、与欧美吸血鬼共同用餐食人肉等，灯光与音效的配合使整栋建筑鬼魅迷惑憧憧。博物馆确实花费心思，精选展出这世界五大地区的鬼怪传说和形象，配有解说员讲诉典故，让参观者对其由来有更深入的了解，以求打破传统的迷思和刻板的印象，各种道具和服装的提供也增添了互动的乐趣。

Penang Ghost Museum is a very interesting double story old building which shows you all those paranormal things that we usually will avoid talking about. From banana tree ghost from Southeast Asia to China vampire, mysterious Egyptian mummy and Pharaoh, Japan's Sadako and America’s vampire is there waiting for you to have some good time with them. Together with the light and sound arrangement, it makes the entire building looks and sounds creepy.

Penang Ghost Museum really put a lot of effort in setting up this museum where they pick legends and ghost image among five of the world region. With the narrator recounts the story, it give you in depth understanding about the origin of the legends and ghost. The purpose is to break the traditional myth and stereotype and make it fun to public where they provide plenty of props for you to take photo in their museum.

我想象力丰富，又爱胡思乱想，身旁的环境总是能随时幻化成鬼魅舞台，心理惊吓极具震撼力。上了大学，听闻大小鬼故事，加上室友有特殊的感应能力，常常能接触到不可思议的超自然现象，本来害怕的个性在一遍又一遍的分享下，竟然练出来胆量。曾经遇过一幕难忘的画面，才知道真正的恐惧其实是来自内心。

从校园步行回宿舍大约十分钟，晚上的街灯只把某个角落照亮，人们入睡狗只乱串，社区很安静。短短的路程，经过小片香蕉林来到空阔的石地，杂草丛生的操场长几颗大树，午间茂绿清醒，生命力旺盛，哪知到了月夜，树干像魔爪往天上狂捉挣扎，仿佛在狩猎灵魂丢入深不见底的漆黑。我克制自己不要多想，嘴里哼着不成五音的歌，断断续续。突然间看到邻居门前的大路，站了个白长袍白头巾白的女人，正严肃地对着草丛中的黑暗。

心即刻惊慌了，头不敢往回直视，手颤抖着，门锁怎么打也打不开，钥匙来来回回拔出插入，一阵忙乱不安。入了家门变快速逃往房间向特殊室友寻求协助，他出来打探，才发现那只是友族同胞的一种祷告仪式。之后，胆子大了，宿舍的生活也因为他的机遇，变得精彩诡异起来。

I have a rich imagination and also like to imagine things. Things around me at always turn into an imagination stage where I create all the startle effect which makes me feel scary. When I still study at University, I come in contact with all the unbelievable paranormal activity. With all the ghost stories that I heard from surroundings plus a roommate who have a special sensing capability, it makes a braver me today.

To be honest, the scariest things are always you. Human always tends to scare themselves. Still remember that time when I was walking alone back to my hostel at night. With the street light that was not the bright, people sleeping and dog strings here and there. It is already scary enough for me that time. When I was almost reaching, I saw a woman with white clothing stand at the center of the road. Imagine who will stand at the center of the road in middle of the night. The creepiest thing is she was staring at the bushes opposite my hostel. At that moment, I start to feel panic, my hand start shaking when I try to open my front gate.

As you know, when you are panic everything fuck up. The lock is not working at that time and I almost scream my lung out. After that I tell the entire incident to my roommate and he told me it was just women doing prayer. Human imagination is the bigger devil which creates all the unbelievable things.
