- U-Report
VIVA – The Jeruk Purut headless ghost is usually related with the Jeruk Purut Public Cemetery on Jeruk Purut Street, East Cilandak Village, Pasar Minggu, South Jakarta. In 1986, guards of this cemetery saw a ghost wandering around the cemetery.
The Jeruk Purut Public Cemetery is actually well cared for, but apparently, there is a ghost who wears clothes like a priest and carries his head and is in a hand, then this ghost is followed by a big black dog.
The witness of the guardian tomb was widely spread and was then believed by the public to this day. Even the cause of the ghost's appearance is still not known for certain.
Many say that this Pastor's ghost is trying to find his missing grave according to local people, it is suspected that his tomb is in the Tanah Kusir Public Cemetery, not at the Jeruk Purut Public Cemetery.
Some say that the head of this priest's ghost was cut off because his enemy had beheaded him in ancient times. After all, this ghost had risked itself for the sake of his religion.
This mystical story is increasingly widespread with the presence of places that are believed to have the appearance of this invisible creature.
In addition, another story also says that if we want to see the ghost of Jeruk Purut appear, then come to this cemetery right on Friday night, of course with the number of people who promise, such as 1, 3, 5, and so on.
Then, the ghost dressed as a priest with a stump head will appear in front of these people.
There is also another story related to the ghost of the kaffir lime, the story is; there are three young men who come home from an event. When the three of them were on their way home, they had to pass the kaffir lime TPU, but one of these youths underestimated the existence of the Jeruk Purut Head Ghost.
When they passed the road, they saw the Jeruk Purut headless ghost appear right in front of the car they were driving, and the car suddenly stopped. The car could not be run and they were scared to death.
After seeing that, they believe in the ghost. After that incident too, bad things happened to them. Even now, this story is still believed and when people want to see this ghost, it comes with an odd number of people.
