Di sebuah desa dekat Solo, Jawa Tengah, menara jaga tua berdiri di pinggir sawah. Warga menyebutnya Menara Setan. Aturannya sederhana: jangan melihat ke atas kalau dekat menara setelah gelap. Ketika insinyur Dika mendengar sesuatu bernapas di atasnya satu malam, dan sebuah suara memanggil namanya dari kegelapan, dia mengerti kenapa aturan itu ada.

Genderuwo adalah salah satu makhluk paling ditakuti dalam cerita rakyat Jawa -- makhluk besar mirip kera dengan mata merah yang menghuni tempat-tempat gelap dan terbengkalai. Senjata paling berbahayanya adalah suaranya: dia bisa meniru siapa saja. Tapi kengerian sebenarnya bukan monster itu. Bagian dari dirimu yang ingin melihat ke atas.

In a village near Solo, Central Java, an old watchtower stands at the edge of the rice paddies. The locals call it Menara Setan -- the Devil's Tower. The rule is simple: don't look up if you're near it after dark. When engineer Dika heard something breathing above him one night, and a voice called his name from the darkness, he understood why the rule exists.

The Genderuwo is one of the most feared creatures in Javanese folklore -- a large, ape-like spirit with red eyes that inhabits dark, abandoned places. Its most dangerous weapon is its voice: it can imitate anyone you know. But the real horror is not the monster. It's the part of you that wants to look.

Di Bali, dunia spiritual terjalin dalam segalanya — persembahan di setiap depan pintu, pura kuno yang dipahat dari batu vulkanik, dan sebuah kata yang orang lokal bisikkan setelah gelap: Leak.

Malam ini, Rizky membawa Anda masuk ke dunia sihir Bali — praktisi yang berubah bentuk, melepas kepala dan organ mereka untuk terbang melalui malam, menghisap kekuatan yang hidup. Dari bidan yang garis keturunannya mengkhianatinya, hingga petani yang menyaksikan tubuh tanpa kepala melayang di halamannya, ini adalah cerita yang orang Bali bawa dalam tulang mereka.

Ini bukan Bali dari pantai dan cocktail matahari terbenam. Ini adalah Bali yang bersembunyi di bayang-bayang.

In Bali, the spiritual world is woven into everything — offerings on every doorstep, ancient temples carved from volcanic stone, and a word the locals whisper after dark: Leak.

Tonight, Rizky takes you deep into the world of Balinese sorcery — shape-shifting practitioners who detach their heads and organs to fly through the night, feeding on the living. From the midwife whose bloodline betrayed her, to the farmer who watched a headless body float through his courtyard, these are stories that the Balinese carry in their bones.

This is not the Bali of beach clubs and sunset cocktails. This is the Bali that exists in the shadows.
