Where Are The Orang Dalam?
Posted by: Loren Coleman on September 2nd, 2007
August is one of the most active months, from past experiences, for sightings and encounters with Malaysia’s Orang Dalam. By September, we usually have heard of what encounters have taken place over the summer. But where are the reports this year? Have you heard of any?
Here’s a gallery of flashbacks from the past, from those high seasons of sightings, progressing down through the years, including those from merely a year ago last spring and summer 2006. Ah, what a difference a year makes.

He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct).
