Pocongs come in all shapes and sizes, depending not only on the physical appearance of the deceased at the time of death, but also on the state of the corpse's decomposition as well. The pocong of a person who has been dead for years would be more skeletal in appearance, whereas the pocong of a recently deceased person would retain a fair resemblance to his or her former self, save for some minor decomposition. Typically, a 'fresh' pocong is described as having a pale face and wide open eyes. Multiple sources mention a pocong with dark face and glowing red eyes, a decayed pocong with white featureless eye, and a flat-faced pocong with empty eye sockets. Pocong also hop like rabbits due to the knot under their feet rendering the ghosts unable to walk. This is often how fake Pocong are distinguished from real ones in Indonesian fiction: if the creature is hopping around, it is not a real ghost, but a living person disguised as one. They are said to move around by floating above the ground. This is the distinction that people tend to look out for when they encounter a 'pocong' in the wild.
Since not all pocongs are the same, it is difficult to pinpoint a specific trait of all pocongs. Some pocongs may show themselves in front of people to relay messages or ask for prayers with no intention to cause harm whatsoever. At the same time, others may not be so docile, actively taking pleasure in frightening people with their grotesque looks. Still, in the main, their behaviors are mostly unpredictable, and people are encouraged not think of them as allies, but rather as supernatural dangers to be treated with caution.
Pocongs may form colonies, which could number from a few dozens to a few thousands ghosts for each colony. Despite this, judging from anecdotal records, most sightings of pocong indicate a "lone wolf" style attack, meaning they tend to act independently. It is rare for pocongs to work in pairs or in groups to harass humans.
As pocongs are not bound to the physical world like humans are, they can move freely through solid objects. They have also been observed to teleport almost instantly from one place to another. They are found practically anywhere, from their final resting places to their former homes. However, banana trees seem to be their preferred spot, it is not uncommon for someone to find a small colony of pocongs happily gathering near or around banana trees.
In some parts of Indonesia there are pocong variants that are unique to the places from which they emerged. One of such creatures is known as the plastic pocong[3] that haunts Jakarta. The plastic pocong's origin is traced to the purportedly true story of a pregnant woman who was murdered in cold blood by her boyfriend. When an autopsy was performed on the murdered woman's body, blood kept flowing endlessly from her body even after it was sewn shut. So much blood was pouring out that the hospital staffs were compelled to wrap the corpse in plastic in addition to the traditional shroud, before burying her remains in an undisclosed location. People believed the plastic pocong appeared because the murdered woman's soul wished to be freed from her plastic cover.
Pocong Merah or red shroud ghost is arguably the most feared pocong variant due to its violent and dangerous nature, despite its rarity. It is said to be born out of a person who wished to seek revenge for an unpleasant death, making it more akin to a vengeful spirit often found in many folklores in the West. The red color of this pocong's shroud is associated with the feeling of bitterness, anger, and vengeance felt by the person during the final moments of life. Of all variants of pocongs, the red pocong is believed to be more likely to attack the living on sight and without provocation. Because of this, many believe the red pocongs are kings, or leaders of some sort, of a colony of pocongs.
In the rural parts of Yogyakarta, the Code River is said to be inhabited by a massive colony of pocongs numbering in the thousands. The colony itself is led by a very peculiar red pocong, who lived as an early 20th century local shaman specializing in black magic. According to the story, the shaman's shady lifestyle and practices greatly disturbed the villagers living in the same village. One day they decided that they would not tolerate him any longer, and so they hunted him down, murdered him in cold blood, and mutilated his body. The body parts were later wrapped in large white shroud, which later turned red because of the blood from the shaman's body, and buried somewhere in a pine forest near the riverbank. In death, the shaman swore revenge on the villagers who had slaughtered him in cold blood, and so his vengeful spirit, alongside thousands of pocongs he has 'recruited' over the years, has been haunting the Code River to this very day.
Pocong are a stock of movies or TV serials (sinetron), especially those of the horror genre. In the early 2000s (decade), TV stations in Indonesia purported to capture ghost appearances with their cameras and put the recordings on a specific show of their own. In these shows, Pocong feature prominently, along with the kuntilanak.
The movie Pocong Jumat Kliwon, directed by successful director Nayato Fio Nuala, began a trend of horror comedy Pocong movies. In 2011 Pocong is also Pocong, a new horror-comedy featuring Pocong, was made by female director Chiska Doppert, Nayato's former partner.

Legends tell that in a rural village, there lived a powerful witch-doctor who was able to perform black magic such as pelet (a local term for hypnotize magic), susuk (a local term for implant magic), and santet (a local term for voodoo magic). One day a person in the village died from a strange disease. It was rumored to have been the witch-doctors fault.
The locals, who were easily swayed by the rumor, called upon and forced the witch-doctor to perform a pocong's oath. It is a vow taken by a living person to be wrapped in a burial shroud called kafan like a person who has died. The vow was conducted to prove the allegations or cases that have little or no evidence at all. Consequently, if the suspects are lying, curses and divine punishments from God will befall upon them.
The Pocong Radja takes the appearance of gigantic Pocong without legs. He appears clinging to a giant sacred tree, making him look as if he is floating in the air. The roots of the tree actually what prevents him from falling and also acts as a strap for his burial shroud. Almost all of his body is wrapped in a burial shroud except for his large eyes, and his long right arm. Since he's unable to walk, he depends on his right hand to move.
In his disguised form, the Pocong Radja appears as a beautiful pale levitating giantess-goddess with long waist-length black hair and wearing a bridal white lace dress, and several pieces of gold jewelry including wrist and armbands, a necklace, and an ornate headpiece.
The Pocong Radja can take the form of a beautiful goddess. Tricking the player (as Linda) into thinking that they're in the middle of a calm and peaceful oasis. The place reveals itself after Linda solves the candles puzzle, and she finds out that it's nothing more than a terrifying reign of darkness graveyard. When Linda approaches, the beautiful goddess rips off her own face to show its true form, the Pocong Radja, drops down, and terrorizes Linda.
When engaging the Pocong Radja in battle, it is important that the player stays as far away as possible from him at all times. The Pocong Radja has a large range, so keep yourself against the wall on the opposite side. He only has two attack patterns, which are swiping his hand a hundred and eighty degrees, and throwing Pocong corpses at the player, so avoid it by running to the other side. Take a picture of him three times with the SLR Camera to trigger the other Pocongs once the Pocong Radja leaves.
When engaging the other Pocongs, it is recommended that the player switches to the IrisPhone rather than the SLR because the IrisPhone has a wider attack range, allowing the player to take multiple Pocongs out at once; however, taking out the other Pocongs with the SLR also works.
On the third time the player attacks the Pocong Radja, it will go berserk and pick up Linda. It is imperative that you DO NOT PRESS any button on the keyboard or mouse because it will crush Linda to death. If Linda stops struggling, the Radja will think Linda is dead and collapses, defeated.
A pocong, also known as shroud ghost or hantu guling, is a ghost that is said to be the soul of a dead person trapped in its shroud. Known in Sunda as kain kafan, the shroud is the prescribed length of cloth used in burials to wrap the body of the dead person. The dead body is covered in white fabric tied over the head, under the feet, and on the neck. The actual appearance of the specter is similar to your average wraith but shrouded in white cloth worn close to the body. They move by floating above ground, similar to other specters.
