<===========    KUNTILANAK

Kuntilanak ( Malay : Pontianak or Puntianak, or often abbreviated kunti) is a ghost who is believed to come from women pregnant who died or women who died in childbirth and the child had not been born. The name "puntianak" stands for "women die childless". Generally, kuntilanak described as a beautiful woman with long hair and a long white shirt. Kuntilanak depicted happy terrorizing villagers to take revenge. Kuntilanak often said to be incarnated as a beautiful woman walking alone on the street is deserted. Therefore, this story aims to avoid the possibility of women's groups rather than harassed by young men who fear Kuntilanak when walking alone on a deserted road. Based on the beliefs and traditions of Javanese Society , kuntilanak will not interfere with a pregnant woman if the woman always brings nails, knives, and scissors when traveling to anywhere. This causes frequent encountered habit of putting scissors, needles and knives near the bed baby .

POCONG      ======================>

A pocong is an Indonesian/Malaysian ghost that is said to be the soul of a dead person trapped in its shroud. Known in Indonesia/Malaysia as kain kafan, the shroud is the prescribed length of cloth used in Muslim burials to wrap the body of the dead person. The dead body is covered in white fabric tied over the head, under the feet, and on the neck.

According to traditional beliefs, the soul of a dead person will stay on the earth for 40 days after the death. When the ties aren't released after 40 days, the body is said to jump out from the grave to warn people that the soul need the bonds to be released. After the ties are released, the soul will leave the earth and never show up anymore. Because of the tie under the feet, the ghost can't walk. This causes the pocong to hop.

Some people said that they had ever seen KUNTILANAK & POCONG. Some of them were running when they were seeing them. And the others maybe just stayed in place, shivering, and screaming.
