Sumbing's Haunting Mist - When Mountain Climbing Touches the Spirit World

On a bright day in August, four friends named Pale, Rendy, Dina, and Ryan decided to hike Mount Sumbing. They were excited and enthusiastic, unaware that this adventure would lead them into a terrifying horror story.

They started their journey with high spirits, breathing in the fresh mountain air and enjoying the beauty of the surrounding nature. However, as they reached the halfway point, they saw another hiker sitting on the side of the road with a pale face and obvious signs of exhaustion.

"Poor guy," said Pale, staring at the hiker. "Looks like he needs help."

Without hesitation, the four friends approached the hiker and offered him the water and food they had brought. The hiker accepted their help gratefully and introduced himself as Andi.

"Thank you for your assistance. I've run out of water and can't continue my journey without you," said Andi with relief.

Andi then decided to join them in climbing to the summit. The four friends felt happy to have an additional hiker to accompany them, and they continued their journey with renewed spirits.

Night fell when they reached the peak of Mount Sumbing. They felt proud and amazed by the stunning view before them. They posed to capture the moment with beautiful photos.

However, the atmosphere changed as they began to descend. Andi suddenly became very serious and apologized to them.

"I'm sorry, friends. I shouldn't have asked for your help. I've been lost and dead on Mount Sumbing for a long time. I was a lost hiker who died of thirst here," Andi said with a regretful voice.

The four friends were shocked to hear this. They couldn't believe what they were hearing. How could they interact with someone who had already passed away?

Andi continued his explanation, "I've been trying to get out of this mountain for years. I'm trapped between the dimensions of life and death. I thought you could bring me down and release me from this curse."

Pale, Rendy, Dina, and Ryan were stunned and frightened. They didn't know what to do. However, they didn't want to leave Andi alone there.

With their remaining courage, they together recited a lucky mantra they had learned from mystical Javanese stories. They prayed for Andi to find peace and free himself from the binding curse.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew, shaking the four friends. They felt the presence of something supernatural around them. When they opened their eyes, Andi had disappeared.

The four friends looked at each other, feeling relieved and somewhat surprised by what they had just experienced. Although they still felt scared, they continued their journey to the base of the mountain with a sense of relief and hope that Andi had found peace.

Since then, Pale, Rendy, Dina, and Ryan never forgot their horror experience on Mount Sumbing. They realized how fragile the boundary between the world of the living and the spirit world was. They learned to respect nature and adhere to the traditions and taboos. Every time they hiked mountains, they remembered Andi and prayed for the safety of lost souls in that mountain.

Their story became a topic of conversation among hikers, and Mount Sumbing itself became famous as a place with a magical aura. For Pale, Rendy, Dina, and Ryan, that experience was not just a horror story but also an unforgettable lesson about the interconnectedness of the human world with the unseen world.
