In
Malay Pontianak, Kuntilanak is a ghost that is believed to come from
the dead pregnant woman or a woman who died in childbirth and the child
had not been born.It is possible that the name is derived from the combined kuntilanak the word "pregnant", which means women and children in the Malay belief.
Kuntilanak figure depicted in the form of a beautiful woman whose back hole. Kuntilanak portrayed terrorizing villagers happy to take revenge.Kuntilanak as appears always accompanied by fragrant frangipani flowers. It is said that men are not careful it can be killed after kuntilanak transformed into blood-sucking. Kuntilanak also like to eat babies and harm pregnant women.
The difference of opinion in the depiction of kuntilanak, in the absence of a definite theory about these magical things. Just as the horror stories and horror movies on TV Malaysia.
Kuntilanak depicted kill prey by sucking the blood in the neck, like a vampire. Somewhat different is the case with the picture according to Malay tradition, which according to tradition Sunda kuntilanak not have a hole in the back and only interfere with the appearance alone. Type that has a hole in the back as the description above is called sundel perforated.
Kuntilanak also seems like a certain tree as a place to "sit", such as hibiscus that grow leaning to the side (popularly called "hibiscus inclined"). In Javanese tradition and belief, kuntilanak will not interfere with the pregnant woman if the woman is always carrying a nail, knife, and scissors when traveling anywhere.
This led to the frequent habit of laying found scissors, needles and knives near the crib. As with the beliefs of Malay society, sharp objects like nails can ward off attacks kuntilanak. When kuntilanak attack, nails were driven in the hole in the back of the neck kuntilanak. While in Indonesia the public trust more, the location for driving nails can be shifted to the top of the crown kuntilanak.
