Paranormal Photo: Malaysian Bus Crash Demon

Today we’re going to look at an alleged demon photo from Malaysia. There’s not much information on this, but here’s what I was able to gather. You can find the resources I used, such as photos and information, on my blog. Link will be in the description. 

As you can see in the photo, it’s a terrible bus accident. The bus flipped over on its roof and landed in what appears to be a river. You can see quite a few onlookers spectating the accident. However, there is something strange in this photo and it is rather creepy. The photographer who took this photo caught something more than a bus crash, but something hiding in the bushes. A frightening face peering out and it appears to be smiling. 

Sources for this photo give contradicting dates and years. One source says this accident took place in 2016 and the accident killed three people. The site also blames this demonic figure for the accident. However, another source that appears to have more information, says the accident took place on September 5th, 2005. I entered both dates and tried searching for more info, but unfortunately came up empty handed. Let's take a closer look at the latter source.

This is from the Blogspot blog, mis-uum-ghoststory. I have corrected some grammar issues to make it sound phonetically better. You can read the original transcript here.

"This story happened on the 5th of September 2005. An overloaded UUM bus was overturned and plunged into a river after a passenger apparently fell onto the steering wheel. Five people were seriously injured and admitted to the Alor Setar Hospital, while the other 47 passengers were given outpatient treatment at UUM Medical Centre. The bus was on its way to residential colleges in Bukit Kachi when the accident occurred. It is understood that the bus carried 63 passengers, 20 more than the maximum allowed, when it veered into the river after the driver lost control of the bus.

A reporter from The Star Newspaper had caught this strange photo.”

Like I said, resources for this photo are scarce. I’m almost sure there’s a website out there that does have the information of this accident. What I just read could be the accurate information, but without other resources to confirm it, like a more reputable resource, such as newspaper or something akin to that, I’m not sure. I did find The Sun Newspaper Malaysia website, but their news archive only goes back to 2020. But if anyone does know more about this accident, then please contact me and I will update this post with the accurate information.

Well, Graveyard Disciples, what do you think about this alleged demon photo? Although this photo has made its rounds to numerous websites, blogs, and apparently some Tik-Tok videos, it could very well be a form of pareidolia or not a demon, ghost, or whatever at all. What do you think? Ghost? Demon? Pareidolia? Or a trick to stir up attention? Until next time, keep it scary.
