Urban Legends: Never open your door for the makcik keropok



Created in Imagine AI Art Generator

In Singapore, there is an urban legend that you don't open the door involving an elderly woman who would go door-to-door selling kerpok. She was known as Makciks Keropok and had a Pontianak as her assistant. Be careful opening your door because you may encounter her. You can tell it's not her if she doesn't greet you by saying "kum kum" *a shortened version of the Muslim greeting Assalamualaikum. She can not say it as she is unholy. She will release the Pontianak into the home.

If you open the door and buy her crackers she will release her assistant. The Pontianak is a vampire ghost. She will help the old woman gain her youth and beauty back by taking it from you.
