Jenglot



Jenglot is a mystical creature found in Indonesia, especially in Java. Jenglots are mostly found by native psychic after they have done a supernatural ceremony. Jenglot can be found everywhere, from under the ground, on a wrecked house's roof, and even in the trunk of a huge tree.Jenglot is a small human-like creature, usually found around 10-15cm with long nails. The hair on its head is said to be able to grow longer over time. The face of a jenglot is shaped like skeleton or zombie. A creature has been found with joined feet, which makes it looks like a mermaid

Jenglot keepers feed their creature with blood, either animal blood (goat) or human blood. A person who feeds the creature with human blood buys the blood legally from the Indonesian Red Cross. Actually, the jenglot does not eat the blood straightly. The person put the jenglot near the blood, and the jenglot doesn't even move or touch the blood. It is said that jenglot will get the nutrients of the blood in their own way.People who have caught the jenglot usually bring their creature all over Indonesia to exhibit them in order to gain some money.
