This story appears to be famous worldwide as one of the most gruesome highway incidents. whether it involves a ghost, or an actual murderer, no one really knows. This story here was copied from a website (read the source below) based on Malaysia's own Karak Highway. Though I've changed the ending to what I believed happened but the content still stays the same.
It was late at night when a young couple and their baby was traveling in a car along the Karak Highway. They were trying to get home, like the rest of the other Malaysians because it was nearing festive season. And like the many other Malaysians, they choose to travel at night to avoid the traffic jam and also the heat of the sun when noon gets in the way.
As they were traveling along the lonely stretch of Karak Highway, suddenly, the car gave a sudden jerk and started making weird noises. The husband was fairly surprised because he remembered to check the car before traveling long distance to ensure the safety of his family. Soon, they had no choice but to stop by the roadside. The husband got out of the car to check the car engine while his wife and baby was waiting in the car. After a few minutes, he came back and reported that he could not see anything wrong and tried starting the car again. However, the car just would not budge. At loss, the husband made a difficult decision to either wait until another car comes along or walk to the nearest phone booth.
Not wanting to leave his family behind, they waited. After some 20 minutes or so, the highway remained quiet. The husband wondered why was there such calamity on the highway when festive celebrations are just around the corner. Perhaps it was due to the late night, he thought to himself. After what seemed like eternity, the husband decided to take the second option.
Advising his wife to lock the doors and take care, he left them behind with a heavy heart. His wife, on the other hand, watched her husband walk away with worries on her mind. She prayed hard that someone would eventually notice their stalled car and offer help. She was also worried that accidents might happen.
Hours passed by and soon she started getting even more worried. She was worried something might happen to her husband.
Suddenly she saw flashes of blue and red lights. It was coming from a patrol car. Through the rear view mirror she could see a policeman getting out of the car and towards her vehicle. They asked her to step out of the vehicle quietly, and don't look around while she did so.
She got out of the car and walked towards the police car with the man. When she was at a safe distance, she finally looked back towards her car to see the bodiless head of her husband on top of her car. Apparently it had been banged against the roof of her car but she did not notice.

There are a lot of rumors why Karak Highway is very haunted. Some people claim that it's because there's a lot of accidents and deaths. Others believe that a certain stretch of Karak Highway was built over an old cemetary or an old plot of land that was already haunted to begin with.
A friend of mine who has contributed the last two posts, Michi, said that the reason why these ghosts are so agressive is because they're angry spirits. Apparently what made them angry was the tow-truck people.
Normally they are one of the first to arrive at an accident scene (of course accidents do happen on normal circumstances).
But at the same time, what the tow-truck people are doing is like putting salt or lime juice on an open wound to them. That is his belief on why the place is aggresively haunted and like to attack people whenever they can.
Anybody else have any contributions to this urban legend?

puttin salt n lime on open wounds??? but why??pls explain.... i really wanna knw more for i hv travelled to karak highway before.. twice,, after a few weeks i met wif n accident.....
i would wan to be firm if it was just my bad luck or the horror of karak highway
...about the story above, i wasnt there, but it was related to me by my brother in the army, back in the late 70s , hard to believe but the family was on their way back from a friends weeding, the guy was in the army,
I stay quite close to it n yes the legend carries on for some number of yrs. tho we may never know the real truth this stretch is actually quite "keras" n many spooky things happen. I will relate my personal experiences in posts below
A few years ago i was visiting some projects in Felda Pahang. We use tha Karak Hghway. My project manager was driving me there but on the way back, he was not well & i have to drive. In actual fact i was tired too. The interesting thing is that i lost conscious on the way up the mountain trail & the next thing i know was we were at tol Gombak. All i know some divine intervention has help us on that road.
The only horror we came across was the manner of lorry and bus driver on that stretch of road and we even saw a real yellow VW :-)
I was driving back from kl yesterday and I met in an accident at km 45. I am a fast driver but yesterday I wasn't fast at all because it was raining. The weird part is I don't remember what happened until everything was over. The only thing I realized is that o felt the car was floating and it spinned a few times before hitting the divider. I am really lucky that I got out without a scratch. When I got down , the whole area was full of oil and when I ask they said it's from my car. Within minutes everyone was there , the tow truck the paramedics and everyone else. I can't really sleep thinking about what had happen. Still tryingto figure out what has happen ......
It is definitely haunted. My father's friends had experienced it in Karak Highway. It is not a Yellow car volkswagen or what. It is a mercedes car. My father's friend was on vacation with his family from Kuantan and on the way back to Shah Alam. He had this behavior of feeling challenged whenever someone drove faster than him. Then, this Mercedes came, next to his car, moving faster than his car. He felt challenged, then, he drove his car faster until he matched the speed of that OLD Mercedes car but when their cat got side to side. His wife and his children screamed and told him not to compete or chase with the car. Then, he slowed down the car, suddenly, they saw that the car was still moving and heading to ravine and disappeared! His wife and his children told him that when their car got side to side with that OLD Mercedes car, they noticed that the driver of the Old mercedes car did not have ANY FACIAL FIGURE! and enough said...the incident when the old mercedes car suddenly disappeared after heading to ravine was the incident that he saw by his own eyes. If he still did not slow down the speed maybe his car will end up on the ravine near the Karak Highway! so, the truth is whenever you drive a car, or any moving vehicle..please do nt feel intimidated or challenged by the speeding car or vehicle of others. Maybe we do not know whether the drivers are really human or what...
My experience was back in 2010 in Miri , when i drove my hotel's van passing thru the Miri-Pujut Road , between the PWD/Cahaya Mata Sarawak depot and the Boulevard "HQ" Shopping complex . The first incident at 11:30 PM , I stumbled upon a phantom pedestrian crossins the road and dissapeared in the road-divider and the second incident at 4:30 AM , in front of the state agriculture department's veterinary clinic , I stumbled upon "pocong" .
