#50: The Angry Spirit of Tanglin Brunei Hostel (1/2) - GHOST MAPS - True Southeast Asian Horror Stories

UNEARTHED—a new podcast from the creators of GHOST MAPS—sheds light onto some of the darkest corners of our cultures. With the help of National Library Board's resources, we dig up the histories of Southeast Asia’s most terrifying supernatural creatures – and explore the impact that they have on the region, even till today. In the first episode, we delve deeper into the history of the pontianak—who she is, what her ties are to other supernatural creatures, and how she’s the centrepiece of horror cinema in Southeast Asia.   REFERENCES: BOOKS Curse of the Pontianak (Modder, Ralph P.):  Malay Magic: Being an Introduction to the Folklore and Popular Religion of the Malay Peninsula (Skeat, Walter W.): Malay Poisons and Charm Cures (Gimlette, John D.):  An Analysis of Malay Magic (Endicott, Kirk M.):  Pontianak with Survival Guidelines (Nambai):    ARTICLES: Truth About Pontianak – The Singapore Free Press, 18 May 1957 (Groom, Pelham): https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/Digitised/Article/freepress19570518-1.2.59.5 A Hag to Beauty Then Kampung Vampire – The Straits Times, 3 May 1957 (Barrie, Susan): https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/Digitised/Article/straitstimes19570503-1.2.117.1 A New Cafe Pest – The Singapore Free Press, 6 May 1957 (Groom, Pelham): https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/Digitised/Article/freepress19570506-1.2.25   FILMS: Sumpah Pontianak (dir.
