Pontianak: The Vengeful Vampire Female Spirit - UNEARTHED - The Entities of Southeast Asia #1

<p class="p1"><strong>UNEARTHED</strong>—a new podcast from the creators of <strong>GHOST</strong> <strong>MAPS</strong>—sheds light onto some of the darkest corners of our cultures. With the help of National Library Board's resources, we dig up the histories of Southeast Asia’s most terrifying supernatural creatures – and explore the impact that they have on the region, even till today. In the first episode, we delve deeper into the history of the pontianak—who she is, what her ties are to other supernatural creatures, and how she’s the centrepiece of horror cinema in Southeast Asia.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1"><strong>REFERENCES:</strong></p> <p class="p1">BOOKS</p> <p class="p1">Curse of the Pontianak (Modder, Ralph P.): <a href= "https://catalogue.nlb.gov.sg/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/FULL/WPAC/BIBENQ/245132858/1353930,1"> <span class= "s1">https://catalogue.nlb.gov.sg/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/FULL/WPAC/BIBENQ/245132858/1353930,1</span></a></p> <p class="p1">Malay Magic: Being an Introduction to the Folklore and Popular Religion of the Malay Peninsula (Skeat, Walter W.): <a href= "https://catalogue.nlb.gov.sg/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/FULL/WPAC/BIBENQ/245133866/3205631,2"> <span class= "s1">https://catalogue.nlb.gov.sg/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/FULL/WPAC/BIBENQ/245133866/3205631,2</span></a></p> <p class="p1">Malay Poisons and Charm Cures (Gimlette, John D.): <a href= "https://catalogue.nlb.gov.sg/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/FULL/WPAC/BIBENQ/245140234/5887496,1"> <span class= "s1">https://catalogue.nlb.gov.sg/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/FULL/WPAC/BIBENQ/245140234/5887496,1</span></a></p> <p class="p1">An Analysis of Malay Magic (Endicott, Kirk M.): <a href= "https://catalogue.nlb.gov.sg/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/FULL/WPAC/BIBENQ/245144041/103450977,1"> <span class= "s1">https://catalogue.nlb.gov.sg/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/FULL/WPAC/BIBENQ/245144041/103450977,1</span></a></p> <p class="p1">Pontianak with Survival Guidelines (Nambai): <a href= "https://catalogue.nlb.gov.sg/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/FULL/WPAC/BIBENQ/245145031/5343903,1"> <span class= "s1">https://ca
