Sabahan school teacher Augustine Towonsing, 49, is not afraid of ghosts. He may not be a ghostbuster but, for the past 14 years, he has been going on ghost hunts alone.

Many of his friends, and even strangers, have quizzed him about his bizarre activities, and some even deem his to be “a dangerous pastime”.
