Believe it! The Praying Prayer Mats!

News of strange happenings was abuzzing in the small town of Pasir Mas in Kelantan on October 20th.

At a local school,the Sekolah Kebangsaan Tok Sangkut, 35 prayer mats supposedly mysteriously raise themselves in the musalla (place where prayer is performed), with some appearing like people performing their prayers.

Teacher Adnan Abdullah, 37, said he was informed of the matter by a student during his class near the musalla.

“Because my classroom is being renovated, I carry out lessons outside and at about 10.40am, a student had glanced in the direction of the musalla and saw the ‘standing’ prayer mats,” he told reporters here today.

Adnan said he then opened the door to the musalla and was shocked to see 35 prayer mats in a standing position, 16 of which were standing in the male section and 19 in the female section.

“What was even more weird was that there was one (prayer mat) at the very front, as if it was acting as an imam leading a congregational prayer,” said the teacher who has been teaching at the school for seven years.

He said the same thing happened at a villager’s house during Ramadan where a prayer mat was said to have stood by itself.

People thronged the school on hearing about the “phenomenon” to see for themselves the “standing” prayer mats.

What do you gather from this occurrence? A figment of imagination or an episode from "the Twilight Zone"?
