Between supersticious and belief

Do you ever think about why Thailand, Indonesian and Malaysian ghost movies are even scarier than vampires from Europe continent? Have you seen this movie called "The Shutter" which is originally made in Thailand that you can still feel "something" is sitting on your shoulder until now; but when you saw the movie in English version, it just made you went-lol (laughing out loud)? This opens my mind about this issue; to be specific among Malaysian family and friends every time i go back to my home country over holidays.
At the beginning, i was confused during my first time moving into our house in Coventry, United Kingdom. To be honest, it really freaked me out to have chosen, or not in my best luck, to get a small room on second floor, with a bag cupboard's door creaking every night when the wind hit, and a window directly above my bed in a 3 storey house. I was afraid i can see "things" flying outside when i was asleep. Why? Because i experienced it myself when staying for about week at one of my friend's house on Hearlsall Lane, just a few blocks away from my house, with the thought that "thing" will come and find me. Alhamdullillah, i never even once experience any scary moments in the house, even when i was alone until i moved out last July, although a few housemates and some other friends did tell us that they saw "things" in both of our toilets on ground floor and first floor back then. So the questions i asked myself, why not me myself at least once have "seen" or encounter this entity in our own house when i've experienced like a lot, at other's places and here in Malaysia? Goosebumps - yes in Malaysia, no in England? Why there are so many what we Malaysian called "buatan orang", where people send "things" to harm whom they dislike but in England, we might be called ridiculous to believe such things? Refer back to Rukun Iman and Holy Al-Quran, we Moslims read and give our full trust on, that there are such things namely ghosts or spirits or "ghaib" in this world. Believe me when you are reading this post, there is/are thing(s) beside/not far from you, reading this together, with you, maybe on your shoulders or it is holding you legs, wallahu 'alam.
Here's the thing. Its the mentality and thoughts that differentiate those believers and disbelievers. When i am alone, i tend to empty my mind, and what comes into my mind first is going to be the story of the day until i change it, either indirectly or forcefully. Its the power of mind that controls it all. If you think of a general idea, for example, a house, the subthoughts will determine what it is going to be about. Let me give you some interesting examples of 3 ways of thinking, given a big empty, kinda isolated house (there are hundreds, maybe millions of probabilities its gonna direct you): creativity, reality and fear. For someone who is creative, he will imagine of unique design of the house, decorating it inside out, so comfy to live in. For someone who sticks with reality, he will try to see outside and grab the first image of another house he saw and design it as other common daily people will. And last but not least, a fearful person, he tends to put fences first, then calls out Tok Bomoh to enchant the house to chase away the bad spirits. You got the idea? Its a mind game that determines everything, or to keep it real, almost everything.
I admit there are bad people who mistreat their knowledge of this "another dimension world", or maybe God knows, bad spirits which are naturally harmful to us. But its about how we handle it, either you get in control or be controlled. Try to think of the best way to treat and handle this kind of problem, but if it is out of control, never think twice to ask for helps and advices from the experts, those who are real i meant, who does not lead us muslims to kufar/kufur, who believe in The Almighty and rigid knowledge of Al-Quran. Remember this, only human will hurt another humanbeings, those from so-called "another dimension" will never bother you in any typical cases. You see something unusual, keep silent and it will not follow you around. We share the same world, but different dimensions...shhh... :)
