I still think about that hallway on Level 6 more than I think I should, four years later. I haven't wanted to post about it before now.

Thank you for finally writing this down somewhere, Azman.

I remember Amber Court being talked about in the local urbex community before this happened. After it happened most of us stopped going. Not because of ghost stuff specifically, just because it felt wrong to keep treating it like a fun spot after someone went missing there.

Did the police ever release the floor plans or the search grid publicly? I always wondered if there were areas they didn't actually cover.

I'm sorry this happened to your friend, genuinely. But I want to say early in this thread — abandoned buildings are dangerous in extremely mundane ways. Open shafts, weak floors, unstable balconies. A fall into a service duct or collapsed stairwell could absolutely explain a disappearance with no blood or footprints, especially in a building that large and that neglected.

I'm not trying to dismiss what you all felt on Level 6. Fear does strange things to memory in a group. I just think it's worth keeping the mundane explanation on the table.

I was the one who heard my name whispered. I've never said this publicly before but I'll say it now: it didn't sound like any of our voices. It sounded like it came from inside the wall next to me, not from a person standing in the corridor.

I know how that sounds. I don't care anymore.

Case closed with NO explanation after THREE YEARS open is not normal procedure. I've followed missing person cases in Malaysia for years and that does not happen without someone higher up making a call. Either there was a finding they didn't want public, or there was pressure from somewhere to make it go away.

Has the family tried filing a Freedom of Information-equivalent request? I know our laws are weaker on that but it's worth trying.

lol bro probably just ran off with someone's girlfriend and is hiding in JB. genting ghost stories are for tourists

Please don't.

Some of us were there. Some of us have to live with not knowing. Keep your jokes out of this thread.

I remember taking that one. We were all in such a normal mood that day. It's strange to look at it now knowing what was a few hours away.

My family actually lived in Amber Court briefly when I was a kid, before it was fully abandoned, around the mid-90s. The building was already half-empty then because of construction disputes. I remember Level 6 specifically because my mother refused to let me play near the stairwell on that floor. She never explained why, she just always found a reason to keep me away from it.

I haven't thought about that place in years. Reading this thread is bringing back things I'd forgotten.

I worked at one of the hotels near there for six years. We had a standing rule among night staff: if a guest asked about Amber Court, you gave them the tourism-board answer and changed the subject. Management never explained it to new hires, you just learned it was the rule.

After what happened to your friend a couple of guests asked us directly if we knew anything. We were told to say we didn't.

Specific to that property. I don't want to say more than that on a public forum. I can say it predates your friend's case by a long time.

I do paranormal investigation work, mostly in old colonial buildings and abandoned residential blocks. I've never been inside Amber Court but the pattern you're describing — group disorientation, a sense of being watched concentrated on one specific floor, auditory phenomena including a whispered name — is extremely consistent with sites that have what we'd call a 'tethering' incident, somewhere a presence anchors to a location rather than roaming it.

I'm not saying this to scare anyone further. I'm saying it because if your friend is connected to that floor in some way, that's actually meaningful information.

Genuine question for the paranormal investigators in this thread — what would falsify your theory? Because right now every detail, mundane or strange, seems to get absorbed into the 'tethering' framework. A door swinging from wind pressure differences in a half-open building becomes a door 'opening on its own.' I'm not trying to be hostile, I just think this thread would benefit from being more careful about what actually counts as evidence.

Fair pushback. If there's no further activity reported on that floor by visitors in the next several years, that would weigh against my read of it. I'll leave it there.

Found this thread after searching the building's name. Me and a friend went into Amber Court in 2011, didn't know about the disappearance until after. We went up to the 6th floor because someone online said you could see the whole valley from there.

We heard what sounded like children laughing from somewhere down the hall. There were no kids in the building. We left immediately and never went back.

I used to do private security patrols on the access road below Amber Court, 2010 to 2012. More than once on night shift I'd see a light on the 6th floor moving slowly past the windows, like someone walking with a torch. Building had no power connected. I reported it twice. Was told it was probably squatters and to not go check personally. I never went to check personally.

Lights with no power source. Security told not to investigate. This is exactly the pattern I'm talking about. Someone made a decision a long time ago that nobody goes up there and asks questions.

Or squatters had a battery lamp and a security guard didn't want to deal with confronting them alone at night, which is an extremely reasonable thing for an underpaid guard to avoid. I get that this thread wants a unifying explanation but I think we're stacking unrelated mundane things into one narrative.

posting once and probably won't again. i worked maintenance nearby for years. there's an apartment unit on level 6, 6-404, that doesn't appear on any of the building's official unit listings. i've seen it. it exists. when i mentioned it to my supervisor years ago he told me i was looking at the wrong floor and never to bring it up again. i wasn't looking at the wrong floor.

I noticed that too and didn't want to be the one to say it first.

I keep looking at this one. The hallway behind us looks longer in this photo than I remember it being in person. Might just be the lens.

Cheap digital cameras from that era had bad wide-angle distortion at the edges, that would explain the stretching. Not trying to debunk everything in this thread, just that specific detail has a normal explanation.

Stumbled onto this from a Genting travel forum. Sorry for your loss. I stayed near there in 2010 and our guide flatly refused to drive past that road after dark, made up some excuse about traffic. Didn't think much of it until I read this.

I have a contact who used to work adjacent to the unit handling missing persons cases in that district, not directly involved but aware of internal chatter. According to them, the case file was reassigned out of the normal chain at some point — moved to a different office entirely, which isn't standard for a case like this. They didn't know why and didn't want to ask.

I don't usually post on forums like this. In 2012 I went up with my cousin because he didn't believe the stories. We took the elevator — yes it still partially worked off a generator some explorers had hooked up, badly kept secret in the community. The elevator stopped on floor 6 even though we'd pressed for the rooftop and neither of us touched the floor 6 button.

We didn't get out. We just waited and it eventually continued upward on its own and we left as soon as we could.

Elevators stopping at a specific floor with no input is one of the most commonly reported phenomena in cases like this, across completely unrelated locations worldwide. I'm not saying that makes it true, I'm saying it's a consistent enough pattern across unrelated witnesses that I don't think it's all confabulation.

I went back once. Just once, about a year after. I didn't go up past floor 3. I took one photo of an empty hallway from the stairwell on floor 3 and when I got the photos developed there was an extra person standing at the far end of the hallway in the shot. Nobody else was in the building with me that day. I never went back again and I destroyed the photo, which I regret now because nobody believes me without it.

Went up there in 2008, a year before this happened, with a group of five. We all heard footsteps that exactly matched our own pace, like an echo that was a half-second too perfectly timed to be an actual echo. We laughed about it at the time. Reading this thread now I don't find it funny anymore.

I want to acknowledge that the volume of independent witnesses describing similar specific details — footsteps matching pace, a presence on floor 6 specifically, the elevator stopping there — is higher than I expected when I first posted in this thread. I still don't think it proves anything supernatural. But I'll admit it's more consistent than I assumed it would be.

Azman this is the hallway. This is exactly the hallway from right before he went quiet. I didn't want to say anything earlier but I recognized it the moment you posted it.

I can't look at this one for long. Sorry. I believe you that it's the same hallway.

Multiple independent sightings of the same described figure, in the same clothing, across separated years, on the same specific floor, is one of the more credible patterns I've encountered reading a thread like this. I'd want to know if anyone has approached him directly in any of these sightings.

One of my own men tried, years ago. Called out, walked toward him. Said the figure didn't move at all, not even to turn his head, until my man got close — and then he says the figure was simply gone. Not ran. Gone. He put in for a transfer the next week and never discussed it again.

I've reached out to two journalists about this thread. One responded saying they'd look into FOI options for the case file reassignment angle. I'll update if anything comes of it.

this whole thread is fake the photos are stock images lmao

They're not. I took two of them. I have the rest of the roll if anyone needs to see metadata, though I doubt that'll satisfy you and I'm tired of trying to satisfy people like you.

I've never seen this one before. Where in the building is this supposed to be?

Something about this image is bothering me and I want to be precise about why rather than just say it's creepy. The shadow at the edge of frame doesn't correspond to anything visible in the photo that would cast it. That alone doesn't mean anything on its own, old scans and bad lighting do strange things. I just wanted to note it.

Compression artifacts and scan noise on an old newspaper clipping will absolutely produce shapes that look like shadows that 'don't correspond to anything.' I'd be cautious reading too much into a low-res scan of a low-res print of a photo from a flatbed camera in 2009.

Can't sleep. Keep thinking about the hallway photo. I called Siti tonight and she said she's been having the same dream for two weeks — walking down that corridor and the door at the end is already open and she knows she's not supposed to go through it but in the dream she always does.

I didn't want to post about the dream myself but since Nadia already did. It's the same every time. I open the door and there's nothing in the room except him standing in the corner, facing away from me, and right before I wake up he starts to turn his head.

I never see his face turn all the way. I always wake up first.

Shared recurring dreams across multiple people connected to the same incident, with consistent specific imagery, is not something I take lightly. I would gently suggest you two talk to someone, a counselor, not instead of posting here but in addition to it. Trauma can manifest exactly like this regardless of whether anything else is also going on.

found this thread late. i was part of a small group that went up there new year's eve 2013 on a dare. one of us swore he heard someone say a single word clearly behind him in the level 6 corridor. the word was "wait." we left immediately and nobody in the group has gone back.

I'll admit something. After following this thread for months I went back to Amber Court myself, alone, which I know was a stupid decision and I'm not recommending it to anyone. I only went up to floor 4. I didn't see or hear anything unusual. I'm posting this mainly to say that not every visit produces an incident, in case that's reassuring to anyone, though I recognize it might not be.

Genuinely glad you're okay. Please don't go back again, regardless of what conclusions any of us draw from this thread.

Still here. Still reading every reply.

Still here too.

It wasn't him. I don't know how I know that either. I just know it.

Sorry to hear that Mira. For what it's worth, stress and grief anniversaries can produce very vivid pattern-matching, especially with something as specific as the clothing description everyone in this thread already has memorized. I say that as someone who still believes a lot of what's been shared here, not to dismiss it.

This is the most unsettling reply in this entire thread for me and I've read all of it twice over the years.
