Asal Hantu
When the twins Habil and Kabil were in the womb of their mother Eve they bit their thumbs till the blood came, and when they were born the blood turned into spirits both good and evil.
The blood which spurted up to heaven became Kunchi Sa-Raja Ayer; that which reached the clouds (awan) became Jin Hitam; and that which fell on the ground Jin Puteh.
Darah sagenggan kiri, darah sagenggan kanan, itu-lah asal Hantu Darat. For the rest, uri menjadi harimau, tembuni menjadi buaya, bali (tali pusat) menjadi gajah, tentoban menjadi Hantu Ayer.
