The Tragedy of Mount Dempo Part 4



"Vpppp...!" Shouted Yuni hysterically.


We simultaneously threw ourselves to the ground. A great gust of wind passed over our bodies, but I saw nothing at all.


"Aa. there are black creatures**.tadi.. " Yuni stammered, before long she began to cry.


"Udah Yun, don't tell me about it first." Bang ldan.


"Creature it... That's.. Go after Bang Amran." Yuni like not hearing the appeal of Bang Idan.


Bang Amran whose name was called gulped, his face deathly pale.


"You think so Yun?" Ask Bang Amran.


"lya bang," Yuni replied, then added, "The creature has been following us ever since, his eyes always staring at Bang Amran. Him


go after Bang Amran."


We all looked at Bang Amran, then looked at each other. Fear is clearly shown in the


our faces. Yuni's talk just made my heart feel even more squeezed. The residents of Dempo not only intend to disturb, but intend to harm us.


"That thing also pulled Alpin's leg." Yuni added, "So I saw him hiding behind a tree."


Now it's my turn to be pale. "It's not the root, is it Yun? I also saw the black hand that was pulling my leg." Yuni nodded, "So I want to tell you, but it's too late."


Hearing my chat and Yuni we all simultaneously beristighfar quietly.


"It's been.. Don't think about it. We continue to focus and do not get separated. We have to hurry. We must have survived. Believe me, we have God!" Bang ldan cut our chatter so as not to get any further. We all comply.


We took a deep breath to calm ourselves down, then started walking again. While walking that, I who was still curious asked Yuni again. "Yun, so you've really seen that


narik me? I really didn't lie that yun. Yun's hand, not the root."


"lyas. That thing was a pin, I saw, wanted to say but it's too late." Answer Yuni.


Ale who walked behind me joined in, "You see my hand, Pin. But I saw on the tree there was a big monkey, his eyes were red. He keeps following us, but I don't dare to talk. Fear of being hallucinated."


From behind Bang I and yelling at us, "Enough! Don't make this story! Now focus on the road so that you can survive! Praying is not cerital!" The three of us immediately shrieked and went back down the road.


And the occult voices came back as we were all silent. Behind the bush I heard footsteps, laughter and crying. Sometimes the sound of branches broken and heavy growls. However


the most disturbing were the voices from the abyss that called out each of our names over and over again.


"Focus!" Bang said and, firmly, "The one who is called do not be glued!" Bang Idan is right. We who only focus on the breath that begins to run out because we are tired finally do not hear any sound again, either from the forest or from the ravine on our left. So also with all the sightings, suddenly disappeared just like that.


For almost half an hour we walked quietly without any interruption when suddenly Anes behind me shouted loudly.


"PRAISE GOD! PRAISE GOD! JESUS SAVE US!!


Anes was hysterical, his eyes glaring at something in the front direction.


Bang Idan swiftly hugged and directly sat Anes who continuously glared and his hands pointed


something we can't see.


"Quiet Nes. Calm. Prayer according to your faith." Bang ldan said.


We were surrounding the hysterical Anes. His body shivered in fear.


"Why Nes?" Ask Bang Amran.


"Don't walk Bang! Don't walk. In front of the Tiger Bang. A pair of tigers!" Anes started crying.


Next to Anes, Yuni started crying while praying. Anes's face was wet with sweat, his neck looking stiff with a straight forward look.


"Come on Nes, walk again." Pinta Bang and soft.


"Don't Bang, don't. Tiger Bang." Anes refused to stand up.


Then the apparition and giggling laughter blabbed again as if mocking. The sound of calls from the ravine also crawled up


calling Anes.


"Anne...Anes... Anes... "


"Don't Noleh Nes." Bang said, while blocking Anes' view towards the ravine.


But Anes' focus was not sidetracked. He still continued to stare in horror towards the front. Among her sobs, she repeated the same word many times.


"Tiger.... The tiger...."


After a while, Anes and Yuni regained their composure. Anes' breathing also began to be regular. And when Bang and asked to move, Anes according.


We assume the pair of tigers Anes saw were gone.


"Get distance. Don't go too far." Bang ldan's orders.


The front-most Bang Amran walked again, followed by Yuni, me, Ale, Anes and Bang. We walked more closely.


Then suddenly we all collided. Apparently Bang Amran stopped suddenly. He seemed interested in a leaf


the forest moves itself. He leisurely watched silently while highlighting the oddly moving leaves with a flashlight.


As I can guess, Bang's voice came back,


"Am, why stop? What is nyenterin keladi leaves? Let it be Am! If you want to rest, let's just flashlight, save Am!"


But Bang Amran did not seem to ponder Bang's question and he continued to shine a light on the leaf. We're all at each other


looking at me, not knowing how to.


Then slowly Bang Amran turned towards us, a strange smile on his lips. He looked at us one by one, then his laughter broke out violently. We all reflect back, terrified. Bang Amran still continued to laugh out loud as he continued to take turns staring at us.


Then in a loud voice he sang a ref a song that was being played on the radio.


"Andaaaaai in pisaaaaah! If only!" Bang Idan immediately advanced, but Bang Amran jumped back while continuing to sing and laugh. And like no human movement, suddenly Bang Amran jumped into a nearby tree. Bang Idan moved quickly pulled him and calmed him down.


We were again gripped by fear and began to cry to see the two people we had grown up with were struggling.


When Bang Amran finally calmed down, we took the initiative to help hold his body. My concern is if


Bang Amran jumped into the ravine on our left side. Although he did not move, Bang Amran did not stop laughing and singing


while constantly glaring at us. Sometimes she nags with Javanese, other times she cries like a girl.


"All prayers" Bang's commandment and, "Nes, Yun, you also pray in your own way."


None of us understand how to deal with a possessed person. All I could do was to sighfar endlessly.


I heard that Anes and Yuni also repeated the same prayer, asking the Lord Jesus for help. That's their belief.
