A late-night balik kampung journey recently took an unexpected turn after a Malaysian man claimed he spotted a mysterious figure by the roadside.
In a video that has since gone viral, the man was seen riding along a dimly lit stretch of road when a pale figure suddenly appeared in the distance.
What initially looked like a trick of the light quickly turned into a spine-chilling moment as the figure seemed to stand still by the roadside.
As the rider got closer, the figure became clearer, prompting him to react in shock as he told his friends to go faster.
The clip has since racked up thousands of views, with many netizens debating what exactly was captured that night.

Netizens divided, but one detail caught everyone’s attention
While some viewers shared similar eerie encounters and believed the sighting could be something unusual, others offered their own interpretations of what might have been seen.
However, beyond the debate, one unexpected question started flooding the comment section.
Many netizens were more intrigued by how clearly the footage captured the scene despite the low-light conditions.
Some even began asking what phone the OP was using, with others praising just how sharp and visible everything looked at night.
The real plot twist? The camera quality
While everyone was busy debating what the figure actually was, another thing quietly stole the spotlight. The clarity of the video.
And honestly, it is not surprising. With how advanced smartphone cameras have become today, even moments that happen in near darkness can now be captured in stunning detail.
Interestingly, the OP later revealed in the comment section that the video was shot using the new Galaxy A57 5G from Samsung, which explains why the footage looked so clear despite the low-light conditions.
This device has an Awesome Camera to capture clearer photos and videos, day or night, thanks to its bigger pixel sensor.
This helps deliver sharp, detailed images across a wide range of lighting conditions without the need for manual adjustments.
When the lights go down, the camera adapts seamlessly with its improved Nightography to capture clear and true-to-life photos and videos, picking up details that would normally be missed in low light.
More than just a camera upgrade
Beyond nightography, the Galaxy A57 5G also brings a sleeker and more refined design. At just 6.9mm thin with narrower bezels, it feels as premium as it looks.
On top of that, it has enhanced AI features such as Circle to Search with Google and fan favourite tools like Filters, Edit Suggestions, and Best Face, making everyday tasks feel smarter and more effortless.
Available in stylish colours with Raya ready promos
If you are thinking of upgrading, the Galaxy A57 5G comes in three sleek colours, Navy, Icyblue and Gray.
Available in 12GB + 512GB and 12GB + 256GB variants, giving you plenty of space whether you are capturing videos, photos or just everyday content.
And just in time for Raya, there are some pretty solid deals to make the upgrade even more worth it.
You can enjoy double storage worth up to RM300, which means you can get the 512GB version for the price of 256GB! What a steal.
On top of that, there is also up to RM200 rebate for CIMB and Maybank card holders or for those using SPayLater.
In total, that is savings of up to RM500, making it a pretty attractive option if you have been thinking about switching phones.
Sometimes, the real question is not what you saw
Whether the figure in the viral video was something unusual or not remains unclear.
But one thing is certain. In moments like this, where anything can happen in a split second, having a camera that can actually capture it clearly makes all the difference.
And judging by the reactions online, sometimes what gets people talking is not just what was seen but how insanely clear it looked.
