[Y. J. Foo 0]

Now that's interesting... are those stories the likes of 'the ghosts of EA401'?

 

Personally haven't heard those stories though... what stories have you heard of?

9M-MPK is the dedicated Hajj aircraft.

 

The Charter crew always fly the aircraft empty during the Hajj season on the ferry (fairy ) legs. The stories....he he he.....let's just say its a 'be there' thing......

[Norman 1]

I am not so sure about 9M-MPK but there were stories about the Haj charter flights . Mostly around the 1980s .MH charted 3 DC10's from World Airways for the Haj season.One of it was named Blue thunder or somethin. All 3 Dc10's that were charted from World Airways, galley is below main deck (cargo section).Story goes somethin like this. MH crew will not go alone. they will go by 4's caus it is believed that the crew will encounter a friendly ghost(and only 4 people only can go in if not cannot work u know la the space but some were brave bersendirian .k back to the storry). A African American Stewardess (friendly ghost) frm World Airways.What will happen is, she will be holding her head on her left arm and wants to assist the crew while working or when she just wants to talk.She died in a very tragic and painful way though. While sending the food cart up the main deck , it was either she left her keys or went to push in somethin the cart lift started moving. What happens next is the crew on the main deck received her head and her right arm on a silver patter on the cart.According to some crew as i said before she is friendly not so hostile like what we think of but i could be wrong...........hehehehehe. This is one of the stories from MH crews......

 

This is the story that i got. kalau salah mane mane pls update la

 

Kind regards,

From what i heard, biase la that pilgrimage(s) performing hajj must left all the "things" that they have (ie hantu raya ke..) before entering the holy land, unfortunately, the aircraft is the final place that they can "buang" those things, and to make it worse, 9M-MPK is one of the permanent aircraft run for Hajj flight (for years already, rite?)... so can figure already? hehehehehe

my source is one of the Hajj crew and he did the recent Hajj flight and that "things" still kacau them on the recent Hajj flights..

hahahaha kesian my friend tu...

Not so sensational.....but there as an injury to a crew, not quite fatal as many would like to believe, that was caused by inadvertent movement of the food lift.

 

The WoA Charters were in the early 90s, and the Blue Thunder was actually a DC10 aircraft that was painted MH colors but was such shoddy job that the paint peeled off and revealed the blue base coat by the time the aircraft flew a few sectors. The Haj then was not as well organised as it is now, and eventually caused MH to lose it to Transmile and later AK. Until 2003 when the harter Dept won it back.

 

Despite the alleged supernatural incidents o the MPK, it remains a very reliable and safe aircraft to fly in.

I have been on 9M-MPK once or twice flying KUL-AKL or vice versa, hardly noticed anything abnormal.

 

From what I know, it was the very aircraft involved in the engine strike incident in Kai Tak in 1998.

[izmy 0]

our dearest capt nik told us a story about a haunted MH bird during the msportbiker's Port Dickson gathering.

somehow i can't remember the aircraft's rego. but i do remember the scary part...

[Radzi 2]

MH cabin crew (especially the girls) always fly the haunted aircraft and stay at haunted hotels. How do they know? They were told by their colleagues. Of course nobody ever personally meet the ghosts.

[Izhar Z 1]

I have a relative working as stewardess with MAS and just a few days ago we bukak cerita hantu.... Nothing about aircraft, but she did mention about haunted hotels and experienced some of them....

I would love to hear more about this MPK.... hehe....

Now that everyone "buka cerita" (started the story) about ghostly encounter experienced by FAs...here are a few story I heard.

 

1. On a SIA B747 TPE-LAX flight, a FA was taking a nap in the Crew Rest area...her alarm went off but being so tired, she actually turned in off and went back to sleep. Suddenly another crew member woke her up and told her to get dressed and get to work. She quickly got up, thanked the crew and went down to start service. Upon arrival into LAX, the former FA tried to locate the crew member who woke her up hoping to thank her again, but she couldn't locate the crew member. Later at the hotel, she related her ordeal to the Leading and described what the other crew looked like. The Leading turned pale and said that the crew member she described was the crew who perished in the SQ006 incident a few months ago.

 

2. On a particular red eye flight on a regional airline. A FA noticed that the Call Button was always "ON" on a pair of empty seat. She would walk by and switch it off, only to hear a "ding" and the Call Button lit up again. Thinking that it was a electrical fault, she ignored it. The "ding" became non-stop and the Light blinked liked crazy. The Leading quickly pour a glass of wine and a took a bowl of peanuts and walked to the seat and left it on the arm rest. The "ding" and lights never bothered them during the whole flight. The Leading told the FA that a regular passenger had a heart attacked and died on the flight years ago and now still haunts the plane. (read on a famous true ghost story book).

 

3. MH crew in KCH are put up at Hilton, there is this particular room and is inhabited by a "naughty" ghost. Unfortunately, the room is usually "reserved" for MH crew, crew sleeping in this room would always have the TV on by itself at night and worst, will have someone "banged" on the bed that would wake anyone up. Crew will request NOT to be given that room when they come in to KCH...to avoid a close encounter with our resident ghost.

O/T a bit...Wasn't it Crowne Plaza Kuching (now new name)? Because when I was staying there a group of stewardeses who join me in the elevator suddenly blurted out to me, that they were afraid to go up to their rooms by themselves and they waited for any man to sort of accompany them... But I do have a bit of weird experience there.....

[Nik H. 3]

Years ago, in the early 80s, I had a Stewardess come to me when we were nightstopping at Kuching. That time I was on the F27, and we stayed in Aurora Hotel, which looks more like a hospital. Being an old building, it had a colorful history ( rumours had it that the Japanese used it as an HQ for its Kempitai ).

 

The Stewardess asked me if I knew about the ghost stories at Aurora and I said yes, but we need not worry as Hantu tak kacau Hantu......

 

" I takut, bilik I ada hantu...." say Stewardess to Co-Pilot

" Ya la..sini banyak hantu especially on your floor " Co Pilot to Stewardess

" I can teman you.........." Co Pilot added....

" I lagi takut......." say Stewardess.....

 

Aaaaah yes, the Ghost Stories at Nightstop Hotels...always a line of choice by the underwhelmingly uncharming lower class players....

[Tamizi Hj Tamby 1]

Wow,interesting stories.Didn't knew about it.Thanks for sharing,especially you Capt.Nik

 

And yes,Mokhzani,The Crowne Plaza Kuching is renamed to Riverside Majestic (as SEDC took over the hotel after the franchise agreement with Intercontinental Hotel Group was ended).

[Naim 6]

Hehehe ... many 'haunted' sites are always linked to the 'evil WW2 Japanese'. I once went to a boarding school where my 100-yr-old dorm building 'was once used as a morgue by the Japanese'. Needless to say, I never slept better.

 

Want a good ghost story? Visit Felda schemes near jungles and you'd get first-hand accounts of incredible tales.

[Tamizi Hj Tamby 1]

If i'm not mistaken,I think i've heard a similar story about a MH 734 (can't recall the rego) from my former collegemate,who used to be a FA with MH for a while before he resigned to pursue his studies.Any of you know about this story?

[Jessnor Arif 1]

So MH not only hospitable to human but to ghost and genie too. Should use in their new tagline though..

[S V Choong 4]

I have an experience of sleeping in a dead man's room but nothing happened. I was about 10 years old and I accompanied my father to the Bohey Dulang island off the East Coast of Sabah, not too far from Semporna. Bohey Dulang island is renowned for the Japanese operated Pearl farm. My father had business ties with the Japanese and there are many Japanese living on the island back then and they are involved in the breeding the shells that produces Pearls and they will get shipped and flown back to Japan for processing.

 

Just a few weeks before we arrived to the island, they have just had pirates from the Philippines who came and rob them and killed one of the Japanese head managers (presumably shot by the pirates). When we arrived, they didn't have any guest room for us and we had to use the dead person's room. I heard he was "executed" in the same room too! My father was the kind of person who never believe in any kind of superstition and ghostly encounters. I was the one who felt uneasy most of the night and my father fast snored away and slept like a baby the whole night! Even with such a tragic incident, we didn't encounter any ghostly event or drama. To me, once we allowed our fear to overcome our mind, this is the problem. Fear coupled by imagination are our worst enemy.

 

Backgrounder:

Japanese pearl farm in Bohey Dulang island, Semporna, Sabah (the Japanese have now left the place and it is now a Sabah tourist visitor centre).

Yep, as Dr. Naim said, people tended to sensationalise about the stories of evil imperial Japanese soldiers of the war time (something to be fear about). I have mainland Chinese friends who used to live within the complex of former laboratory of all kinds of weird and cruel biological experiment of the Unit 731 imperial Japanese army in Harbin, North Eastern China. I asked him if he has seen any paranormal activities while growing up there as a kid. He said he had never seen any!

Sorry a bit off topic as it is not about stories happened inside an airliner.

An ATR-72 used to transport recovered bodies from CI 611 inflight breakup crash near Pescadores islands back to main island crashed 6mths later near same vicinity. Strangely the ATR-72 pilots are the same for both flights.

 

Also, CI 611 CVR recorded the captain singing to himself the Teresa Teng song "When will you return" - according to family, this captain hated signing or going to KTV.

[Waiping 12]

OT. Is it true that the Tune hotel at downtown KL used to be a hospital?
