Jeruk Purut Cemetery

Jakarta · Indonesien · Cemetery

On Friday nights a headless pastor is said to wander among the graves, carrying his own head, with a black dog at his heels.

Jeruk Purut cemetery in South Jakarta is home to what may be Indonesia's most famous ghost: a pastor in a black robe carrying his severed head in his hand, always followed by a black dog. Legend has it he was killed by mistake in the colonial era and now roams in search of his own grave, said to lie in a different cemetery altogether. Tradition holds that anyone hoping to see him must come on a Friday night in an odd-numbered group. The tale is so established that it became the 2006 horror film Hantu Jeruk Purut, and the cemetery still draws ghost tourists today.
