Door Slams, Strange Events Plague Actress Mimi Lana While Reading 'Polong' Script

Malaysian actress Mimi Lana experienced unsettling events, including her bedroom door slamming shut, while preparing for the new horror film "Polong." The actress, whose real name is Mimi Rozaiana Zainal Abidin, 31, stated that the peculiar incidents began shortly after she received and read the script for the film.

“

I didn't experience any mystical disturbances on set, but one strange thing happened when I first received the script from the director.

"I didn't experience any mystical disturbances on set, but one strange thing happened when I first received the script from the director," Mimi explained. "The first time I read the script, I fell asleep and was awakened by the sound of my bedroom door slamming shut. When I woke up, I found the door open, even though it was closed tightly before I slept. At first, I thought it was just a dream or imagination because I had just finished reading a horror script."

The experience repeated itself after a second discussion session with the production team. "The same thing happened again. I fell asleep and was once again awakened by a similar door-slamming sound. I'm not sure if it was a 'tease' or just my imagination playing tricks because I was too focused on the character and the film's storyline, but it was indeed strange," she shared.

Despite these unnerving episodes, Mimi expressed gratitude that the filming process itself was free of any supernatural occurrences or disturbances for the cast and crew, even though shooting took place in an abandoned flat. She attributed this to the production team's high level of discipline, emphasizing their respectful conduct on set. "I think this is the first ghost film I've participated in without any disturbances. Everyone was very disciplined, minding their conversations and behavior on set. Moreover, the production team prioritized safety, providing a religious officer who was always present to ensure everything ran smoothly," she added.
