(1976 "The Oily Maniac")
A rural district in Malaysia has a legend of the oily man (aka Orang Minyak).
For some locals, he is considered a supernatural creature and for others he is a warlock who coats himself in oil to be impossible to catch.
He is said to leave an oily trail.
What does he do? Sometimes, he steals items from villagers, and he is most notably associated with the rape of village virgins.
The citizens actually take turns with machetes guarding their village and the virgins.
Kampung Laksamana has reported continual problems with orang minyaks. Citizens report, "one is tall, stocky and bald while the other is thin and curly haired."
"I saw the bald orang
minyak hiding behind the water tank of a house at about two in the morning. It was breathing really loudly, like a cow." A resident, Aslam Khan reported. "It was black and shiny. When I shone my light on it, the thing stuck out its head to look back at me. Before I could do anything, it climbed up the roof and disappeared."
Khan reported they also found the possible spot where the orang minyak conducts its ritual of reciting jampi (mantra) and having an oil bath. The villagers stumbled across the spot after chasing the orang minyak into some bushes next to the flat [...] The residents have been carrying out patrols from midnight to dawn. Every now and then, a team of youngsters can be seen riding their motorbikes in a convoy around the neighborhood.
If this is an urban legend, it is really creative and creepy!
