A cave and a haunted house

After the Lost World of Tambun, on the way back, we decided to drop by two of the most famous attraction in the area.

Cave Temple

This area is a very hilly area consisted mainly of limestone hills. There are quite a number of caves to visit but this one is easily accessible from the highway, so we go. Nothing much to explain really, so hope you will enjoy the pix I tried to snap of caves.

After visiting the Cave Temple for about 30 minutes, we decided to head home only to find a signage pointing to the famous haunted house in Perak. On a split second decision, we swerved in the road to head to the Kellie's Castle.


Malaysia is a very young country and this mansion built in 1920s is to be considered quite a gem. But more interestingly, this mansion is rumor to be haunted by the ghost of Kellie who funnily enough died in Portugal and not in this mansion. Scores of tourist were brought here to buy this story. I guess it is very much like visiting Juliet's house and tomb in Verona. Who cares if its real, as long as there's a story to tell and to listen.

Well, I came here to buy the story too, I guess. Trying my luck in capturing the haunting feel of this place. So how did I do?
