Do you believe that ghost is exist in this world? This question looks lame! I should ask you have you come to GHOST MUSEUM before? Yeah. They are located in the not that busy street, it is an attraction in this street that for those who care as it features the horror and myth of ghost. They are not scaring people but the illustration and those stuff creates an atmosphere of fun. This will be a good spot of fun for older kids.
Entrance tickets also affordable for most of the people. And the fee that you pay is worth for it.
There are some pretty macabre displays but if you like to take some 'cute' selfies, the Ghost Museum offers some unusual and hair-raising backdrops for a spot of digital buffonerty.
The atmosphere quite real and the sound effect is (Y). Staff is friendly and nice. They also very willing to help us take photo and told us how to take funny picture. The tour was over in about 45mins and the tour guide is amazing.
There are few sections in this museum :
Malay Ghost Section
Chinese Ghost Section
Ancient Ghost Section
Pirates section
Dracula and Vampires section
Japanese Ghost Section
Orang minyak is one of the myth of Malay Ghost Myth. They literally means oily man in Malay.
Pontianak is quite common if you stay in Kampung kampung. They are usually depicted as pale-skinned women with long black hair, red eyes and white dress smeared in blood. They are reportedly as a women who died in childbirth.
Jiang Shi, also known as a Chinese hopping vampire. They are dressed in official garments from the Qing Dynasty and it moves around by hopping, with its arm outstretched. The influence of western vampire stories brought the sucking blood aspect to chinese myth in modern time in combination with the concept of the hungry ghost
The tour guide also will explain for you guys if you come here!
The ancient chinese had always liked the color of red because ang ang as it is representation of good luck. However at the same time, it also represented anger , hate, revenge and blood.
Among the so many types of ghost, the ghost in red is the most powerful and ferocious ghost among the chinese community.

Japanese Ghost Section anyway.
By the way, there's having 'wet women' too (Lu nv) Not mistaken the pinyin is this lol. This literally means that she has the head of a women and the body of snake.
Also The Yurei of Aizuwakamatsu
A married couple is disturbed by a ghostly women at the night.
Dracula and the Vampires, the vampire is a type of bat that sucks blood from mammals. Each ghost and mannequin on display has their own display board that states their origins and moral values on their story. We were enjoy to try their costumes available and take fun pictures with the props as well.
Overall, i am enjoying in this museum and i can see that the building is not very big but they have completely descriptions of every ghost they have here at the museum. Apart from just visiting and gaining all the information about ghost, they are some props for visitors to take pictures too.
It still serves as a great place for family having some fun with interactive stuff and photos taking.
Worth visiting once.
