My dad always told the story of the ghostly leg in a certain road in the community he grew up in; his tale was as simple as this: "everybody saw nothing. But when a certain point in the road is reached, a ghostly leg would be in the way to bring people down, nobody sees it, everybody knows about it".
He swears the story is true.
My mother on the other hand, says that in her family's home at night, sounds of water jars being filled is goes on randomly while nobody is outside.
The reason in both cases is thrown at "Jinn"s; creatures that we don't see, mentioned in the Quran, Hadith and Islam in general.
The same race as Satan; but some are good, some are bad.But many Muslims also believe that others are just bullies that scare humans, and that's how they scare people: spread their legs in a road to make people fall, produce spooky sounds...etc.
Personally, I believe they exist but can't interact with our dimension. And at least, the standards of "having fun through bullying" differ from our race to theirs'. And mainly cons fake hauntings and Jinn possession to sell their snake-oil like meds to "kick the demon out".
Leading to a similar scenario to the movie "The Exorcist":
On a side note; ignorance is a disaster.
If I was born in the Arab countryside; many will probably think that my M,S walk when the symptoms increase, is due to a demonic haunting. I think some people already think I'm bewitched in here anyways (or as Arabs say "Mokhawee/Rakboh Jinni/Saibah Een/Ma'mooloh Amal" -_-.
Somebody even advice my family to take me to a Shikh to "read Quran on me"
The video above; they think the woman is possessed by a Jinn.
The man is the "Sheikh" that reads Quran on the victim.
