Hi all,

I would like to thank Mr. Maisey for his explaination. I belive what he mentioned is very true. If we believe a palace is haunted. I will become haunted.. for that particular individual.

Just to add. From what i read, other than an object for "storing" spirits, keris are also an object of storing prayers. Perhaps this is a post islamic view or shift of view. For instance, wayang also was given some islamic messages replacing the original hindu concept. I'm a bit sceptic about this, but i just fond an article describing how water can actually store messages.

Can metal store messages?

That's one long lasting hard drive.
