Rosli (43) - residing near Sungai Patani
(Kedah).
About 10 years ago, he was working in the jungle at a river 60 km
from Sungai Patani when he smelt a pungent ape like smell. On
looking back, he swa a 3.6 - 3.8 m tall reddish brown furry
creature.
He said this creature is ugly, with a high sloping forehead, and
walk with both hands swinging. The skin is rough. When the creature
left, Rosli went to look at the footprints. It was about 30 cm in
length, and most interestingly, its feet was inverted, that ie its
toes were behind, and when it walked, it appear to be walking
backwards. If you follow the footprints, you would be fooled by the
tracks.
According to Rosli, he said that the villagers observed that this
creature staying at a height of 1862 metres, at a temp of 18
degrees celcius in the Bintang Hills. There were about 4 colonies
who lived separately. Their body size was several times bigger than
man, but they behave like man. They have not heard of this creature
attacking man, and believe they are vegetarians. The villagers also
believe that if you go to the forest there, one must not smoke, for
the creature can trace and follow the smell.
Rosli said the last time anyone saw a big footprints in the Bintang
Hills was in Sep 2005
Kang Kim Chye (construction worker)
Kang formerly work as a logger before becoming a construction
worker.
In March 7 2006 he have an encounter with Bigfoot. He used to
wander alone in the forest due to the coolness and quietness. On
that day in the afternoon around 4 - 5 pm, he wask walking in the
area around Kampong Temenling when he heard some rustling of leaves
at a slope in front. Thinking that it was an elephant, he hide
behind a big stone. Then he saw a black hairy giant coming out of
the forest behind the slope.
It walked with a slight hunch, like an old man. The head was full
of black hair. The giant went to sit on a fallen tree branch, using
his two big hands to rub his face. The two big hands were as big as
his Kang's thighs.
The giant was at about 30 metres away from him, he had bushy
eyebrows, and long pointed teeth . Sorry Kang took out his mobile
phone to take a snapshot.
Suddenly his mobile rang. It was from the news media asking him
about Bigfoot. (At that time Kang was frequently in the news as he
have started to bring people to look for bigfoot prints in the
forest for a fee. His guest list including Johor government
officials and Joshua Gates, from Sci-Fi. These fees compensate him
for not going back to work as a construction worker).
That phone ring alerted the giant. He stood up, glanced at Kang and
then ran away. Dejected, Kang went to the fallen tree branch. Using
a nearby tree as a gauge, the giant almost reach the height of one
branch of the tree. Kang himself was 1.83 m, and he only reach half
of the branch height. So he estimated the giant to be around 3.8
metres tall. Kang thinks that the giant will have came from the
waterfall behind the slope.
The giant walked like a man, there were toes in the footprint, the
middle toe was about 5 cm long. As it was too far, he could not see
the face clearly, but it look like King Kong.
Later, when shown the picture of the old bigfoot given by Tay (the
hoax photo), Kang was a bit emotional, and wanted to keep the
photo. The Bigfoot photo looks like the one he seen, and the one
photo that he almost capture.
Sightings from the natives
Ah Long - Kampung Punjut
In 2005 Nov 3 night, Ah Long and a few friends went to Sungai
Lenggor and built two wooden huts there to rest after cutting
rattan.
An Long and a friend was sleeping in one hut and 3 other people
were sleeping in another hut.
Suddenly around midnight, A Long felt that his hut was being shaken
by a big hand. Ah Long was afraid, he light up a small lamp, but
dared not moved around.
The shaking continued into the morning hours until dawn. The same
thing also happen to the other hut. They went looking for ratten
later. Suddenly at a tree near a river,they saw a furry back of a
big creature, leaning against the tree and rubbing its back.
Ah Long was standing at 9 metres away at that time. From the height
of the tree, Ah Long estimated that the creature is about 3.3
metres tall, and the back is covered with brown hair, which covered
the muscles.. It was rubbing against the 20 cm thick tree and
giving out a hor hor sound, just like a man rough voice.
Ah Long said he smelt a pungent smell from the creature, which
reminds him of blood, and so he became afraid and started to run
away.
His tribe (the Jakun tribe) believe that this creature is a Hantu
Jarang gigi, and only very special and lucky people can see this
kind of creature.
When the reporter asked Ah Long if he ever watch King Kong kind of
movie, he said yes. When asked if the creature looked like King
Kong, he also said yes.
Later the reporter visited the site of Ah Long hut. Thre he saw a
big footprint about 50 cm long and 23 cm wide. This is the first
time the reporter saw bigfoot prints.
Ah Long also described an incident in which he believed two little
girls were lost in the forest for a week. Later the girls were
found unharmed in a logging track and looking well fed and
well.
Ah Long believed the girls must have met a Hantu who make a nest
for the girls to sleep in the forest and also fed the girls with
fruits. Otherwise, how can the 2 little girls who does not know the
forest well,
can survive and keep well for 1 week? It is unfortunate that the
reporter could not meet up with the 2 girls to verify Ah Long's
claim.
Amir (31) - Kampung Punjut
Amir is known as the Elephant, as he is very strog. Sometime In Aug
2005 on a morning around 11 am, Amir was out in Sungai Madek in

about 9 m away from where Amir is. The creature is covered with
brown hair, covering the muscles. The body was slightly sloping

sort of relaxing posture.

eyebrows. It has a high forehead, broad chest about 1.2 metres,
like a weight lifter. Its has muscular arms, like Amir's thighs,
the arms hang down reaching the knees. Amir said that the creature
has red eyes and keep staring at Amir. It has a 30 cm big mouth,
with a two rows of white teeth. All the teeth was as thick as 2 or
3 human fingers. It look very fierce.
Amir said they stared at each other for 15 minutes, later the
creature give out a kind of growing man like voice, which made Amir
afraid and so he run away.
Amir did not talk about this story for fear of being ridiculed. But
later when the Johor Park people came to investigate, he then told
his encounter.
Alan (57) - village chief
According to the natives, there is a creature called Hantu Sejarang
Gigi living in the forest. The reason they are called this is
because their teeth is like a saw, and shaped like a
triangle.
When they are closed together, they fitted together nicely. Each
teeth thickness is about 2 human fingers. Alan believed there are 2
types of Hantu Sejarang Gigi, one is a big tall one, and
the other is much smaller in size called Payou Ghost, which used to
catch fish and turtles in the river. It like to tear open the
turtle from the shell and drink the blood
Alan said that for the past 10 years, there are about 4 - 5
occasions he heard people say they saw the Hantu, although he has
not seen one himself. Twice in 2005, by Ah Long and Amir, and the
rest of the sightings many years ago.
Alan said that the Hantu does not eat people, they use their big
arms to tear eown braches, and feed on leaves. They also eat fish
and turtles. [b]
