[BPSDB] A burglar breaking into a house in Malaysia was found dehydrated and fatigued by police three days later, claiming that he was held there against his will by a ghost. Really, or is there another explanation?

The Metro reports:
A burglar who broke into a house in Malaysia claims he was held captive by a 'supernatural figure' for three days without food and water, according to news reports.

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 vacation Thursday.

He says they called an ambulance to take him to a hospital. The man told police that every time he tried to escape, a 'supernatural figure' shoved him to the ground.

Abdul Marlik could not immediately be reached and other police officials declined to comment.

WeirdAsiaNews has some more detail on the burglar's experience, which may shed a bit more light on the situation: The burglar told the Police that after he entered through the back door, he was blinded and felt as though he was in a cave. "Each time I wanted to flee, I felt a ’supernatural figure’ shoving me to the ground."

Now I'm not a medical doctor, but when you actually look at the symptoms here - visual impairment, temporary paralysis, tunneling and so on - it looks to my inexpert eye like a seizure...
