Lost hiker mystery: Did 'orang bunian' kidnap Teo Kim Lean?


A file photo from 2005 shows a team of rescuers searching for four missing Singaporean boys who went missing while walking along Bishop's Trail in Fraser's Hill. The man on the left is reciting a prayer aloud to acknowledge the presence of spirits – known in Malay as orang bunian – in the forest. The boys were eventually found by orang asli who lived in the area.
