Hanging

'Ah! You see, what's that hanging on the tree!' shouted John. 'It's a hanging dead body!' exclaimed Jason. 'What shall we do?' 'Run!' Both brothers ran as fast as they could. When they reached home, their faces were white as paper. Seeing their haste, their mother asked them about it but they were too frightened to speak. After they had calmed down and told her, the two boys went back to their room and felt asleep in no time.

Both of them had the same dream that night. In their dream, they saw the dead body dangling from the tree. It suddenly came alive and talked to them in a soft feminine voice. they realized that she was crying bitterly. Opening their eyes, the dead body they saw earlier was standing in front of them. it was not a dream. 'Take my ring, and give it to my mother.' The body was holding something in its hand as it held it out to them. 'Take it to No.15, Jalan Tarum. Please help me.' Too scared to say anything, the boys just nodded. Dropping the ring on the bed, she disappeared. The next morning, the boys did as they was told and took it to the address. The lady burst into tears when she saw the ring, and told the boys it belonged to her daughter who had disappeared. The police, after hearing their story found the body later that day. It seemed that the daughter was pregnant when she died. Frightened that she would bother them again, the boys burned 'hell notes' for her, hopping that she would rest in peace.
