Penang Trip Day 3: Batu Gajah (Perak)

On the third day of our trip, the weather is again harsh on us, it rained quite heavily so right after breakfast, we decided to start our journey back to KKB. On the way, we plan to stop at Taiping Zoo but the weather don't permit us to do so.

Finally we ended up in Batu Gajah.....

Batu Gajah National Park? Nah! Batu Gajah do not have a National Park like Penang la



Not a National Park? Why got such a big river there?

We actually went to



Kallie's Castle in Batu Gajah.

The admission fee to this old mansion is RM 4 per person. This half build mansion was built by a Scottish planter called William Kallie Smith, I'm not going into the history of this mysterious place. You can read all about it here if you are interested.

The old mansion that is connected to the new castle.



"Hmm... Just imagine what a magnificent place it would be if the construction was completed.


The mysterious corridor....

According to the locals there, sometimes during the evening some people saw the spirit of Mr. William Kallie Smith slowly gliding along the corridor.

The funny thing is, Sir William never died here and his family never wanted to come back here so, what reason for the spirit to linger all alone around here???

This room was intended to be the living room of the castle


Chrispy was wondering how much does this place cost? Hehehe!

Ruined section of the old mansion

The first ever build bucket, 4 storey, elevator that never complete in Malaya.


The grand castle from the side.

Poor Mr. Kallie, he died so tragically before his dream castle was completed.... what a total waste.

The rooftop courtyard

This place was meant for parties..... but not even a single party was ever held here... so sad.



Back yard view from the rooftop courtyard.

See, you can actually see the main road from the roof top.

The old mansion from the roof top.

At the far left side of the castle stands this peculiar tree.... What is so peculiar about this three? Look properly, what can you see?

If you look carefully, this three looks like a bear. The works of nature la. Nothing paranormal about it.

Soon after that we left this mysterious, old incomplete castle, standing lonely and sadly, waiting for it's master to return and complete what is undone but the master and his family were long gone and never will return to complete what was undone.....
