Chapter 20 - epilogue

Suanggi is a traditional belief found in Eastern Indonesia, especially in Maluku and Papua, which refers to evil spirits or supernatural beings that are believed to be able to harm humans. This term can also refer to shamans or people who use black magic to harm others.

However, for the people of East Indonesia in general, Suanggi is a name that is known to be mysterious and scary. This is because Suanggi is a type of black magic and is also a term for shamans or people who practice black magic. Suanggi is feared because this black magic is usually used to kill enemies or people who are not liked. Suanggi followers or shamans usually live in the forest and sometimes live mixed with the surrounding community.

Suanggi or suangi is defined as an evil ghost or shaman who works with the help of spirits. In Papua, suanggi is believed to be a scary supernatural creature that can change shape and can fly using coconut leaf stalks.

Suanggi is a ghost that originates from Papua. Suanggi is known to be able to transform into any animal. To make it easier to enter the victim's residence, Suanggi often transforms into a lizard.Not only is its form scary, its actions towards its victims are also very terrible. It is said that suanggi is a villager who practices black magic and eats human flesh to strengthen his magic.However, because they have the knowledge to injure and kill people mysteriously, suanggi are often asked by certain people to commit crimes against enemies or people they don't like. Suanggi usually kill their victims in groups.

There are two ways that suanggi can kill their victims. The first is indirectly, namely by doing doti-doti , a kind of black magic sent to the victim.Before sending black magic, the suanggi will read the wind direction first so that the dots reach the right victim. After that, the suanggi will insert black magic objects such as leaves or wood into the victim's body in a supernatural way. The body of the victim who is affected by black magic will be filled with these foreign objects so that they are damaged and die.The second way is to kill the victim directly. In order for the action to be successful and not known by others, the suanggi will stalk the victim first. When the situation is deemed safe, the suanggi throws the victim with small stones or soil that has been given a spell.

When the spell reaches the victim, the victim immediately becomes unconscious. Then the suanggi will torture the victim by hitting, Rika, and throwing them repeatedly. The action is carried out by the suanggi after stripping the victim's clothes. That way, there will be no evidence of violence found on the victim's clothes.

The horror continues. After killing him, Suanggi then licked the wounds on the victim's body. Thanks to the black magic he possessed, the wounds closed on their own so that no bruises or wounds were visible from the outside. Suanggi usually resurrects the victim who was killed to cover up his crime. The victim will then die again in front of others in a reasonable way, such as an accident, falling, etc.After his mission is successful, the suanggi will dance and sing in front of the house of his client. He will also give a piece of the victim's hair to his client before the body is buried.
