first of the Beautiful Ghosts Around the World series.
Kuntilanak is a woman ghost from Indonesian folklore. in Malaysia, they call it Pontianak. there are various stories about how a woman can turn into a Kuntilanak, and how they look like. but the one i go by is: she wears white clothing with a beautiful jet black long hair. she hangs around ponds with bamboo trees. she lures men with her beauty. and when the man gets closer, she turns around so that her back is facing the man, her hair swings to her front, revealing the big gaping hole with rotten flesh on her back. that supposed to scare the man away... one story tells that she died during childbirth. and the hole was where the baby was taken out from. but that doesn't make sense... how do you get a baby out from the back? there is spine getting in a way... but ghost stories never make sense anyway. the other BGAW are: Yuki Onna, Huli Jing, Lamia, Glaistig, Manananggal, La Llorona. |
