" Oath Pocong."




In Indonesian precisely in Java Island there is a strange'ritual' which will be undertaken and it's believed by a minority of people there called 'the oath pocong.'

Pocong is a body which has been prepared for burial and the corpse was wearing only a piece of cloth 'kafan.' This is appropriate according to the teaching of 'Islam.'

Pocong oath is a ritual performed by 2 people who still live where the goal was to prove the truth of the mistakes and lies that have been done by one of 2 persons. This ritual performed in the Mosque that hosted an expert and witnessed by the local community.

If the person is already doing 'oath pocong,' it will reveal a truth and proof. One of them is guilty or lie, sooner or later He will get a disaster that led to death. It's tragic!

Why the 'oath pocong' done? probably because they don't believe in the law courts in the area where they live, while the law in Indonesian doesn't recognize 'the oath pocong.'

Believe it or not, we return to God!. This phenomenon ritual that's believed by some local communities.
