The Rangalau Kiulu Phantom is a mythical spirit from Somaliland. This spirit is said to roam the jungles of Sabah at night or dawn, taking the form of a little girl and often accompanied by eerie, wailing laughter.
The night of the incident, a little girl and her parents were sleeping in their hammocks. A cobra had entered the vicinity through an outlet that was left opened due to ongoing maintenance.The cobra was able to slither up into the ventilation system, which led to the sleeping area. This let the cobra loose, where it came across three defenseless humans sleeping.
Many people are perplexed by the occurrence because of the strange chain of events that must have taken place in order to lead to the conclusion that the snake killed the parents but left the young daughter unharmed. From this incident, numerous queries and suspicion were raised. No signs of the young girl had ever been located despite the local police force conducting intensive searches.
It soon arose that the little girl survived but lost her sanity. She became known as the ‘Guardian’ of the jungle. However, as locals have been the only source, there is little evidence favoring the claims. Whether the claims are credible or not, after all, no traces of the girl had been found.
