How people were forced to live in haunted houses in Indonesia (5 photos)

Many Asians are very superstitious, but Indonesians and Thais are perhaps some of the most impressionable. I even told you how during the coronavirus, in Indonesia, volunteers in evil spirit costumes scared people so that they would stay home. And it worked.





Security during curfew. Funny and a little creepy

But now a very interesting consequence of those years has emerged. Namely, houses forcibly cleared of spirits.

Ghosts as a means of punishment

In addition to the ghosts that scared people during the curfew during the pandemic, those people whom they and the police caught received additional punishment.



Here is a large abandoned warehouse with beds for the sick

Violators were sent to quarantine, which was arranged ... in some old "haunted houses." In Asia, a house in which there was a murder or strange illnesses and deaths can often be called cursed, which will significantly reduce its value.

And cheap real estate is always a loophole to save on organizing a quarantine for the population. So some unfortunate people were sent to such abandoned "haunted houses" during Covid, no matter how much they lamented and cried.

And what happened now?





In Indonesia, abandoned houses can literally become overgrown with greenery in a month

People sent to quarantine recovered (they were looked after). That is, although the disease was raging in the country, there were fewer deaths in such houses than in hospitals (because there are more people in the hospital, of course).

And when people successfully lived in such houses (and in some, the exits were even boarded up so that malicious quarantine violators would not escape), it turned out that no ghost had killed them.

That is, people risked their lives to prove that the spirit here either left or was not evil. And these houses that no one needed immediately became more attractive. And even children stopped being afraid to come too close to them.



How such a quarantine house appears to the locals

Unfortunately, this period has already passed, and the government did not have time to whitewash all the dubious houses. And you can’t lure the current evil houses of Indonesians even with gingerbread.

They are usually bought by more advanced young people, less inclined to mysticism, but greedy for low prices. But the youth does not have much money for real estate.

So now there is a certain gap in the country: the non-superstitious youth has not yet saved up money and accumulated "fat" for their own homes. The older ones are afraid and will never buy such a house.



On the one hand, they intimidate, on the other - they force you to live with ghosts. Some kind of bipolar disorder

And while they wait for the youth to mature, such houses are hopelessly outdated, especially without care and residents.

So sometimes the consequences of a pandemic can be quite funny, I didn’t expect it.
