Indonesian people are the closest to the same name myth and superstition. About ghosts moreover, so many types of astral beings are believed to have physical characteristics and distinctive characters. Call it Kuntilanak, a ghost that is said to manifest a woman with long hair in white clothes that has been famous since our time has not been born, and is still often discussed until now. Not only Kuntilanak, there are still many other ghosts that always succeed to make anyone who discusses it so creepy.


Of the many types of ghosts, it turns out that there is also the popularity dimmed in recent years. Apparently, ghosts are also not much different from artists, there are also those who are no longer famous and even forgotten.

Yuk, nostalgia.

The news was also reinforced by the confession of some women who said they had seen the ghost in the toilet. Duh, which girl's heart isn't shaken by that confession? Therefore, in the past there were so many girls who wet their pants because they did not dare to go to the toilet.
