The village located on Java Island has jumped on an old superstition to use ghosts known as ‘Pocong’ to enforce the lockdown and deter people from coming out.

Head of a village youth group, Anjar Pancaningtyas, coordinated with the police on the unconventional initiative to promote social distancing as the coronavirus spreads “We wanted to be different and create a deterrent effect because ‘pocong’ are spooky and scary.”

“Since the pocong appeared, parents and children have not left their homes,” resident Karno Supadmo told Reuters. “And people will not gather or stay on the streets after evening prayers.” Anjar said.
