A burglar who broke into a house claims he was held captive by a "supernatural figure" for three days without food and water.
Malaysian police official Abdul Marlik Hakim Johar told The Star newspaper the house's owners found the 36-year-old man fatigued and dehydrated when they returned from holiday.
He said they called an ambulance to take him to a hospital.
The man told police in Kuala Lumpur that every time he tried to escape, a "supernatural figure" shoved him to the ground.
