Why Ghost Tales Asia exists

We grew up with cerita hantu — told at mamaks, on night drives, during school camps. Most of them never made it into modern formats. Ghost Tales Asia retells those stories with craft: tight writing, 3D binaural sound for headphones, clean mastering at −16 LUFS — so the story doesn’t just play, it happens around you.

From Malaysia to Asia

Preserve Southeast Asian lore and deliver it in modern formats people can experience instantly, anywhere—best with headphones. Starting in Malaysia, expanding across Asia.

What Makes Us Premium

  • Hand-placed binaural cues.
  • Story-first pacing (no filler; tension > talk)
  • Mastered to −16 LUFS; dialogue sits +7–12 dB over ambience
  • Tuned on common earbuds and over-ears, not just studio monitors.

How we make it

  • Research & respect

    We start with real folklore — books, interviews, community notes — and treat them seriously.

  • Write for audio

    Short, focused scripts (7–10 mins) with modern pacing and clarity.

  • Build the sound

    Studio foley + licensed SFX, binaural spatial design, mastered at −16 LUFS.

Why We Listen

Ghost stories work best in the dark, in whispers—binaural audio brings that intimacy back.

Why it sounds real

Placed-in-3D sounds. Clear voices. Matched levels. Works on any headphones.

What we’re building next

  • Book 2 (Malaysia) — deeper cuts, new regions, tighter 3D mixes.
  • Indonesia series (planned) — Kuntilanak, Wewe Gombel, urban myths reimagined.
