How to Identify a Pocong

When a Muslim is buried, their body will be wrapped from head to foot in a white fabric. Like a mummy. The fabric will be tied over the head, under the feet, and on the neck. If the ties are not removed after 40 days, the body will, apparently, jump out from the grave to let people know that its soul needs to be released from its shroud. Because the tie is around its feet, the Pocong will not be able to walk, causing it to hop around.

The Pelesit is commonly associated with grasshoppers because it can easily turn into one. So if you see a green, sharp pointed-head grasshopper, squash it with your boots. Or better yet, just run away.

What Will it Do?

The owner of a Pelesit will usually use it for monetary gains. Usually controlled by a shaman, or bomoh, in Malay, the Pelesit will be ordered to attack a random person, making people believe that a bomoh is needed to exorcise the spirit in its victim. Once the bomoh has “exorcised” the Pelesit from the victim, they will be paid a sum of money as a token of appreciation.  This may sound harmless, but it is not. Things can go wrong and all hell may break lose. The Pelesit is a dark spirit. It feeds on blood, usually that of its master, and basically causes fear by terrorizing people. The Pelesit must always have an owner, which means it will have to be passed down from one generation to the next. It needs to be taken care of constantly and fed. If not, the demon will create havoc in the area it is kept in, especially when its master has passed on and it has no one to hang on to.
