A group of young women set foot in the LPK (Health Education and Training Institute) area. Their laughter was cheerful, full of joy at their little dream. The excitement grew even more when they mingled with other students from various regions. Greet each other, then get to know each other. Never mind the fatigue that surrounds the body because happiness is the achievement of hopes and dreams. Finally, exhaustion began to overtake their bodies until they were covered in sweat. Sweat began to flow down his forehead and temples which were no longer clean, full of dust. There was an irresistible urge to stretch their long legs on the soft mattress. Whoops! Their bodies need rest! Time flew fast until the end of the twilight. The training on the first day is over. They immediately ran to the girls' dormitory. Arriving in front of the dormitory, they saw the old pale yellow building. A building with classic architecture and teak wood windows. The wooden door stood firmly waiting for the occupants of the dormitory to enter. Above it reads: Girls' Dormitory in italics. Right in front of the entrance suddenly stood the hairs of the students. I don't know, there's a different aura they feel very uncomfortable about. The skin of the hands suddenly cools, swells, and gets goosebumps for no reason. They said hello, but there was no answer from the residents of the dormitory. Apparently, the rooms are still quiet. They are ten prospective nursing assistant students who will live in this dormitory and have to stay for a year. There was a strange feeling as they entered their respective rooms. The same is true for Nina, a student from Pemalang.
Why does my body feel cold and uncomfortable at all?" he thought. He looked at the contents of the room one by one. "There's nothing strange about this room. But, why does my skin feel cold and stiff? The drowsiness that was not willing to compromise suddenly disappeared without a trace." he muttered to himself. He looked at the clock on the wall. Five o'clock. Suddenly, he was startled by a scream from a room. Nina immediately ran in the direction the voice came from. It turns out that Lia screams in the next room! Nina's steps immediately stopped as soon as she saw Lia's body convulsing, struggling but still unable to move with both hands positioned as if they were tightly tied. His eyes flashed red with a roar, between screams and moans. "Aarrgh…!!!" All the dormitory students who had gathered around him immediately retreated to the back. No one dared to approach, even one by one they ran away in fear. "Call the housemother!" one of the students ordered to Nina who stood still, not knowing what to do. Nina's face was deathly pale, her body was shaking, and her heart was beating rapidly. Nina immediately ran to find the dormitory mother with a ragged breath. However, when Nina returned to Lia's room with the dorm mother, Lia was back to normal. No screams or moans. All that could be seen was Lia's crying while giggling and cowering in fear while covering her white face. "Something tied me up! Something tied me up!" he shouted. "Who?" asked Nina and her friends. "A woman with long hair! His face was pale and his teeth were shiny! Anyway, I want to go home!" she answered crying. However, Lia's request was not continued when her friends reminded them of their destination to the dormitory which required studying here. Lia was finally silent, but her sobs did not stop.

Towards Isya', Retno, who was the bravest student among them, was washing the dishes. But suddenly he heard banging from under the sink, like someone tapping with a hammer. Over and over again until he was startled, then screamed for help when he felt someone drag him from behind. All the students finally arrived. Retno was seen being dragged by a woman with long hair and a white dress, then tied to a kitchen pole. Retno was struggling with a scream for help. And, on the pillars, sat two pale women with long hair with their legs dangling down and swaying, laughing and giggling. All the students' eyes widened in disbelief at what they saw. "Kuntilanaaak!!!" exclaimed all the students while running around aimlessly. No one dared to approach. They ran outside for help. He let Retno scream alone with a heartbreaking cry. Meanwhile, the kuntilanak just giggled while tying Retno tightly. Likewise with the two kuntilanak who watched it from above while shaking angge. "Hi…hihihihihi!" Their laughter is emotionless. "Help…help!!!" shouted Retno as loudly as possible. However, Retno's cries were ignored. In fact, the shrill laughter of the kuntilanaks grew louder. Retno also rebelled with all her might. He kicked the kuntilanak with his small foot, but it didn't hit him at all. In fact, Retno's bond was getting stronger and more painful. Retno screamed, while the kuntilanak laughed cheerfully. The other two kuntilanaks are watching while laughing "Hi… hihihihihi!!!" A few minutes later, the dormitory mother came with an ustadz who was known as a smart person who could cast out demons. However, when the ustadz came, Retno was seen sitting limply on the floor. Apparently, the kuntilanak trio had untied Retno. Retno was seen crying in fear as she hugged her legs and covered her face. Retno was gently supported by the boarding house mother. After the ustadz reads the prayers and verses of the chair, the students are advised to illuminate the entire room at night with fluorescent lights that shine bright white, not light bulbs that glow yellow and dim. The ustadz said, Satan really likes lights that shine dim and not bright.

The next day, the atmosphere of the hostel became calmer without any disturbance. But two days later, the dormitory was startled again by the screams of Wulan who was on the phone. Several times Wulan screamed but did not let go of her grip from the receiver. Half an hour later, Wulan was only able to release the receiver while crying hysterically. Then, he told me that someone had called him using a private number. The sound he heard was very strange and scary. There were booming, screeching, screaming, giggling, and rumbling sounds until Wulan screamed. The next day again, many students living in the dormitory were screaming too because they saw many kuntilanak milling about in the dormitory. In addition, the deafening sound of the hammer pounding in almost all corners of the dormitory room, from the bedroom, kitchen, to the living room. And, the sound is more often heard from the bathroom. This makes the students afraid and do not want to sleep in the dormitory. They slept together in the LPK office. But not long after, the sound of knocking also spread to the LPK office, so that the students were even more scared and couldn't sleep well. Seeing that the students were reluctant to enter the dormitory, the LPK finally invited the ustadz back to expel the bully demons. After giving prayers and exploring the entire dormitory complex, the ustadz said, "Try all of you, as residents of the dormitory, to read more verses of the chair. The spirits that live in the dormitory come from an old mango tree in front of the elementary school next to the LPK building. They like to have fun by disturbing the new students who live in the dormitory." Finally, all students practice the ustadz's orders by reading the verse of the chair every day. As a result, the atmosphere of the hostel is now starting to be conducive. There were no more screams from the students. However, there are still students who feel disturbed, such as the sound of hammers hitting the table, walls, roof, and even the floor. Knock…knock…knock…!
Some students also still feel the presence of someone around the dormitory who cannot be seen. One of those who felt that way was Laila. That afternoon, around twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Laila entered the dormitory after training. The sinister aura in the living room was felt so that the hairs on the back of his neck were tingling. He felt someone following behind him, but when he turned around, he saw no one there. When he entered the room, suddenly a cold air hit his body, even though the atmosphere was very hot that afternoon. He felt someone was watching him, but he couldn't find anyone in the room. To reduce his fear, he turned on the music from his cell phone as loudly as possible. "I feel like someone is watching me! But, I didn't see it at all! But, I'm sure, he noticed me me!" cried Laila. Apparently, other friends also feel the same way. Almost all the students in the dormitory felt the same way. Finally, they agreed to be together even though they had to take a bath together, while turning on the music as loudly as possible so that the pounding of the hammer that was heard almost every day did not reach their ears. Knock…knock…knock…! So continues the sound that accompanies the students who live in the dormitory every day. Gradually, they became used to hearing the sound, but were completely ignored because they were studying. Later, news began to spread that last year there was a student who died in the dormitory because it was suspected of having a heart attack.
By midnight, they were still engrossed in watching television. The film "Bad Teacher" made them laugh, so that behind them, someone was laughing too. His laugh is different and weird. Very loud and endlessly long. They looked back at the same time. Their eyes widened when they saw the kuntilanak trio standing behind with their distinctive voices… "Hi… hihihihihi!!!" Lia, Retno, and Wulan suddenly fainted. (END)
