GHOST VILLAGE
PART 49: COMPOSING A PUZZLE
The black hole of the past portal opened, and Rama and Gendoruwo instantly jumped into it. Rama leaves Juragan Seno sitting observing with an empty view of the debris of the land and buildings from his house. The night is so tiring for Rama to search for his family: baby Raka, Queen Sari and King Piningit.
Rama and Gendoruwo enter the terrace of the Inn "Oudeherberg" after exiting the time portal. Rama was familiar with this inn because Rama had lived long before moving to the ex-ghost house Maaike.
Just a reminder from the previous chapter, the Oudeherberg inn in Kampung Hantu has stood since the Dutch colonial era. In the past, this building was used as a resting place for Dutch officials who were serving in the area.
However, after Indonesian independence, the building was abandoned and abandoned. Not long after, local residents reported that the building began to be inhabited by spirits or ghosts.
Some people even say that they have seen sightings of a Dutch ghost still wearing his war uniform. News of this haunted inn spread and attracted the attention of a number of tourists who were curious about its existence.
In the end, the local government decided to include the old inn as part of the Kampung Hantu tourism project and revitalized it so that it could be re-operated into an inn. Nevertheless, most of the local residents are still afraid to visit and even approach it.
During his stay at the old inn, Rama experienced many mystical experiences such as seeing ghost sightings and hearing strange sounds. Rama once met a local young man who told him about the history of the old inn. It is said that in the past, Indonesian prisoners of war were detained and tortured in the building by Dutch officials and soldiers who controlled the area.
The last case experienced by Rama is helping the ghost of Sari who died in room number 13 after being molested by her boyfriend, Agung. The case has been revealed and Agung has received his punishment.
Tonight, Rama and Gendoruwo felt discomfort as they began to enter the inn's lobby. The negative mystical aura was felt once compared to the last time Rama left this inn.
Rama: (while walking slowly in the hotel lobby) "Ratna, please scan the entire room in this Oudeherberg inn, are there any suspicious signs? Gendoruwo, we better split up. Please comb on the east side of this inn yes, I am on the west side "
Ratna: "Good, Rama."
Gendoruwo: "Good Rama."
Rama who combed the west side of the inn began to see a room inscribed with a hall in front of him.
Ratna: "Rama, the hearts behind the doors of the hall were detected many other hot movements. In another room too, you have to be careful. "
Rama: "Good Ratna, Thank you. "
Rama also walked slowly, sneaking around to open the door of the hall.
Rama pushed open the door of the hall, and the door of the hall opened. Then when he entered the mouth of the hall door, a fireball was thrown and grabbed Rama's clothes. Fortunately, Rama used Ontokusumo's vest, so the fire was extinguished.
Then a row of fireballs led to Rama who walked forward to the center of the hall. Rama, aided by Ratna, tried to avoid and peek at who actually threw the fireball. It turned out that the one who threw the fireball was a human figure covered in fire with his head down and walked using his hands and feet facing up.
Ratna: "Rama, the one you are facing is Banaspati Geni. But the hearts are also with those behind you, there's a lampor "
True what was said by Ratna, it turns out that behind Rama has also stood the ghost of the lampor and began to attack Rama.
Rama: "Ratna, if we continue to be here, we will be caught in the fire of the hall. Let's lure them to a fight on the porch. Prepare the strongest helmet mask, we will break down the wall to get out. "
Ratna also agreed to Rama's request, and at that time also Rama's helmet mask plus the layer. Then Rama began to roll over and continued to fly into the walls of the hall so that he could get out on the terrace of the inn.
Rama:" Ratna, spray carbon gas into the hall room so that the fire inside can be extinguished."
Carbon gas then came out of the purple curly amethyst ring, and extinguished the fire that burned the hall room.
Meanwhile, on the east side of the inn, Gendoruwo seemed to face a ghost in the form of a fireball as well, called Pulung. As with the battle of Rama, Gendoruwo's battle against the ghost of Pulung also resulted in a great fire in the room east of the inn. Yet. It seemed like Gendoruwo could control the battle using his Ajian Segara Geni.
Banaspati is a legend or story in the community about the figure of a subtle creature that became part of Indonesian culture. Banaspati figures are often found in temple architecture on the island of Java.
Banaspati figure is described as a relief under the guise of a giant head. In temples in East Java the figure of banaspati or referred to as kala in Central Java, can generally be found sculpted on the top of the entrance hole in their respective sacred space. Banaspati or Kala is installed above the doorway of the temple in hopes of being an antidote to the evil influence that wants to enter the temple.
In public belief, Banaspati is known as a ghost that has the element of fire. Banaspati is known as a mystical creature that has great power and is commonly found in the forest or used by shamans as a means of black magic.
Banaspati is known to have two different forms, namely having a fireball shape that lives between large trees in the middle of the forest and a fireman form. This form of fireball is believed to be able to move by floating or flying between one tree to another.
That said, the original form of banaspati only has the size of an adult's hand, but if the victim feels fear, then the shape of this fireball will be enlarged and can prey on its victims. Meanwhile, if in the form of both, Banaspati is believed to have a human form, but his body is covered with burning fire.
In this human form covered with fire, Banaspati is said to move by walking using both hands while his feet face up. Banaspati in the form of fire man will pursue and stick a flame into its prey that can make its victims burn.
Banaspati is believed to be one of the figures who adopted black magic that occurred in the era of Majapahit Kingdom. Banaspati is one of the kings of the sea who is a descendant of the demon or fire nation.
When Banaspati led the demon race, many people were victims of his ferocity. However, thanks to the help of the Prophet Khidir finally King Banaspati could be killed.
According to the saga, after Banaspati was killed by the Prophet Khidir, it turns out there are still descendants who have the name of the demon cowber. This cowber demon is believed to live 500 years after Banaspati was killed. Many Javanese people believe that this cowber demon who is a descendant of Banaspati lives in the panji forest area.
There are at least 3 types of banaspati demons are widely known by the people of Java and with different forms:
1. Banaspati Geni's
The type of Banaspati geni in combination with air and air is the source of its main strength. Another major source of strength is the fear of a person, the greater the fear the greater the strength of the Banaspati.
This type attacks its target by air to make it stronger and more smoldering. The air energy used by Banaspati geni adds to the fire becoming bigger.
2. The Banaspati Clay
A clay-type pigeon will not attack a person who sets his foot directly on the ground.
Banaspati Air's
Water pigeons target the target in the water, the way seems to drown the victim in the water. Though actually the victim he had been sucked blood first by the banaspati before finally drowned.
To deny it according to the ancient parents, Banaspati will not approach people who come into direct contact with the ground.
Another Ghost that Exists Fire
In addition to Banaspati, there are 4 other ghosts in Javanese mythology that are in the form of fire:
1. Lampore
In addition, other subtle creatures in the form of fireballs, namely Lampor. Lampor is said to be a line or army of refined creatures that come from the South Sea.
The sighting of the lampor itself is called will look like a fire that runs from a distance. Lampor is said to be Nyari Roro Kidul's men and usually appears in large numbers.
With its appearance in large numbers and its manifestation like a fireball, then there are people who call this Lampor with the name ‘obor satan’. Lampor is the same as Kemamang and Banaspati which is considered to bring disaster because it has a negative aura.
Home if entry Demamang not good. It's a sign that someone is going to get sick. Kemamang, Lampor, Banaspati bring bad consequences for humans. Can make people sick. The worst if attacking the psychic.
Pulley or Ndatu

These troughs are also mentioned to often appear at night. It is said that the Pulung embodiment object can be positive or negative, depending on the fall when. If the fall of red light on the morning, it is said to have a positive or good aura.
If the fall of midnight is not good (aura), it can bring disease. There are even those who have the assumption that the red light that becomes the embodiment of Pulung falling in the middle of the night is a beard or woven (santet).
Kamambang.
The blazing fire in the room of the inn hall slowly - the land was extinguished after Rama sprayed carbon gas. The ghosts of Banaspati and Lampor also came out the terrace of the inn yard to face Rama directly.
Rama: "Hey ghost of Banaspati and Lampor, please stop! I just want to find my family back, don't burn this inn down! "
Banaspati: "Hahahaha, you must be the one whose name is Rama according to Ki Sabrang. To find your family, pass through the power of my fire first. " (while laughing out loud).
Lampor also directly attacked Rama who meant peace. Rama also avoided Lampor's attack and soon Rama retaliated. This time Rama just sprayed the ice and snow grains to the bodies of Lampor and Banaspati so that their bodies covered with ice and snow.
But it was wrapped in ice and snow that did not last long because of the strength of the fire Banaspati and Lampor that could not be extinguished.
Rama: "Ratna, it seems we have to stop Banaspati and Lampor right now, so that this inn does not ludes burn. Activate Ajian Kalimasada and Ajian Tyaga! "
Ratna: "Good Rama! "
Rama immediately took out Pusaka Kujang Pamenang, then saw Banaspati and Lampor who had melted the ice and snow blanket. The chest of Rama which is already crowded with Kalimasada mustika power, Rama immediately released power from Kalimasada mustika aura through Kujang Winner Heritage.
Banaspati and Lampor who had escaped from the ice and snow, became stiff again after receiving the radiance of light and heat strength Mustika Kalimasada. Their bodies were stiff, and hardened and then instantly shattered like dust. Seeing Banaspati and Lampor who had perished, Rama immediately extinguished all the fires that were still burning in the inn building.
Rama then looks for Gendoruwo who was seen fighting against the ghost of Pulung on the east side of the inn. Rama immediately took the initiative to extinguish the fire when he saw the fire that devoured the east side inn building.
After the fire was extinguished, then seen Gendoruwo who seemed to have finished his battle against the ghost of Pulung.
Rama: "Gendoruwo, how are you? "
Gendoruwo: "I'm fine, Rama, I have destroyed the ghost of Pulung. But we didn't find anything on the east side of this inn."
Rama:" Yes Gendoruwo, I also did not find anything on the west side of the inn. "
Rama stared blankly at the inn building which was gradually cold from the heat of the fire. Rama looks tired and confused to find where else to look for baby Raka, queen of Sari and King Piningit.
Rama also sat languidly on the floor of the inn with his knees folded. Rama lowered his head. Gendoruwo felt sorry for Rama's desperate situation.
