Indonesia is full of creepy ghosts and elaborate stories surrounding them. One example is\u00a0Kuntilanak, the spirit of a woman who died while pregnant. She then wanders around aimlessly looking for her child, preying on unsuspecting passers-by. A similarly terrifying male ghost is Genderuwo, which is a result of a man dying an untimely death as a result of unnatural causes. These horrid spirits are known to haunt and terrorize women. Supposedly both of them make an appearance in a video on YouTube. See for yourself:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rJR9GOPx5Hc\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rJR9GOPx5Hc<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Horror films are also quite popular in Indonesia, with many of them based on traditional ghost stories such as the ones mentioned above. These types of movies actually do quite well, and are often at the top of the box office charts at the end of the year.
