The penunggu is also known by people of the west as the poltergeist. It is an evil spirit or more specifically a restless spirit that dwells an area or place. The type of area that is considered a ‘keras’ or haunted area is usually and old burial ground, a brutal crime spot or even a house of a person that practices black magic.

Usually in order to chase the Penunggu out of its place is to ask a ‘bomoh’ or an ‘alim’ person to do a cleansing ceremony. Some of the penunggu usually had some unsettling business or causes that it wanted to tell the living people about. If you are brave enough, try and listen to what it’s trying to tell.
