5 Famously Haunted Places in Purwakarta
Yes, not only famous for its Maranggi satay, Purwakarta Regency, located in West Java Province, also has places known to be haunted by locals.
Some of these places have historical value, while others are passed down through generations of stories passed down through generations.
What are they? Don't change the channel, read on for more details:
1. Mount Hejo
Yes, the people of Purwakarta are already familiar with Mount Hejo. This mountain, located in Darangdan District, Purwakarta, is known for its history and mysticism.
On this mountain, there is a sacred place believed by locals to be the hermitage of King Siliwangi. The hermitage resembles a tomb with a stone wrapped in white cloth, and it is said that King Siliwangi once rested there.
The shrine is now a frequent destination for pilgrims or those seeking meditation, performing dhikr (remembrance of God) and reciting verses from the Quran while there.
2. Cipularang Toll Road
The 54-kilometer toll road stretches from Cikampek, Purwakarta, to Padalarang. Construction was completed in 2005.
Many accidents have occurred on this toll road, resulting in fatalities. The section from kilometer 97 to kilometer 85 is even known as the "Skull Route" due to the high number of accidents.
These accidents have been linked to the eerie nature of Mount Hejo, located off the toll road, around kilometer 96. The mountain is said to be haunted, making it difficult to drive. The toll road itself is built to cut through Mount Hejo.
However, these accidents are often caused by road user negligence, from fatigue, drowsiness, to a lack of preparedness. So be careful when driving.
3. Jatiluhur Reservoir
Yes, Jatiluhur Lake is located in Jatiluhur District, Purwakarta. The lake is home to the Ir. H. Djuanda Dam, a nationally vital site due to its benefits and uses.
However, beyond these benefits, there is a mystical story that remains a mystery surrounding Jatiluhur Lake, namely a mysterious figure named Mbah Jawer.
In ancient times, there was a baby with a comb on his head. Sadly, the baby was abandoned and raised by a supernatural being. He grew up and was known as Mbah Jawer.
Mbah Jawer often demanded sacrifices to exact his revenge. It is said that many people have drowned and died in this reservoir because of Mbah Jawer's actions.
4. Sasak Beusi Bridge (Ciganea)
Local residents consider this bridge, located in Purwakarta District, hundreds of years old, to be haunted. It is said that many spirits lurk here, causing accidents and claiming victims.
This bridge also looks eerie at night, especially with its poor lighting, creating a tense atmosphere. However, the bridge was recently renovated a few months ago and is now in use. Do you dare cross this bridge at night? If you're lucky, you'll be brave, hehe.
5. Purwakarta Train Station
Dozens of disused train carriages are neatly arranged around the station, and the gates have become a valuable asset for photographers.
However, long before these carriages arrived, there was a terrifying mystical story among local residents. This is often linked to the 1988 incident experienced by a group of young men.
Their bodies were dragged, and their remains were found dismembered. This incident is believed to be the cause of the appearance of headless creatures, and cries can be heard around the carriages. Do you dare to be a model at night in those carriages? Hehe.
