translation : wHy maLay giRLs geT pOssESsed bY tHe spiRits

Kes ini berlaku betul diruang pelajar perempuan membasuh kain. Berlaku diasrama puteri. Kebanyakan yang terkena rasukan adalah gadis melayu dan tidak pernah ada kes berlaku pada pelajar kaum cina dan india. Di mana salah nya........Kita ikuti percakapan antara bomoh melayu dan syaitan.
translation: it happened at the laundrette of the school girls hostel. all of the posession ocCured on maLay girLs.. never the inDian nOr tHe chiNEse.

Misteri di Asrama Puteri terjawap! Suatu hari, ada seorang ketua bomoh yang begitu berani hendak berjumpa dengan sekumpulan jin yang berlegar2 diasrama hinggakan mereka merasuk sebilangan pelajar di sekolah itu. Ketika sampai di sebuah bilik, ketua bomoh pun membaca sejenis mantera. Selepas membaca mantera, ketua bomoh pun memanggil ketua jin itu. Lalu ketua jin itu pun datang. Dengan menunjukkan wajah rupanya yang begitu hodoh dan jijik.
translation: tHe mySterY waS about to be ansWered... As onE day a SHaMan wAs invited to finD tHe caUse of it aLL. He cHanted a vErse... Lo anD behoLd thE spirIt apPearEd... iN thE moSt hEdiouS form imMaginabLE.

Hinggakan ketua bomoh yang begitu berpengalaman itu pun hampir2 pengsan dibuatnya! Hinggakan mayat reput pun lebih baik dari wajah si ketua jin itu!!! Tapi si ketua bomoh tetap kuatkan semangatnya yang jitu.

Lalu si bomoh pun bertanya dengan kuat dan nyaring, menampakkan semangatnya yang tidak kendur walaupun terlihat sesuatu yang begitu menakutkan itu.

"Kenapa gadis melayu jadi sasaran kau...... wahai syaitan yang direjam"
translation: "wHy do yOu poSSesS oNLy tHe maLay giRLs.. yOu wretcHed beiNG"

Dengan menarik nafas panjang, si ketua jin pun menjawab...
