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.

The mysterious disappearance of hiker Teo Kim Lean during a running event on June 16 in the forests of Ah Pek Hill in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur, has sparked questions about the supernatural.  Despite intensive search efforts by over 150 volunteers and more then 30 official search and rescue personnel with tracker dogs, nothing came up.
