It is also considered that Alas Purwo is the world of malevolent spirits. The locals living nearby said that it is true and some have ever met the djinns living there. According to psychics who have extra sensory perception, Alas Purwo is a dangerous place to visit. If you have offended the malevolent spirits, you will go astray and will never come back again.

The apparition of evil spirits
Some people who have ever set foot on Alas Purwo claim that they saw the apparition of malevolent spirits living in that spooky place, such as kuntilanak (a female vampire), genderawo (an apelike evil spirit), etc.

A lot of missing people  
There were a lot of visitors missing in that forest. It is said that if the malevolent spirits feel offended, they’re going to make trouble and won’t let the offenders get out of the forest.

The people in Banyuwangi know a lot about the missing people who never got out again after visiting the forest.

Some believed that the visitors who never came back again had offended the evil spirits and some said the spirits proposed marriage to the visitors and asked them to live with them forever and would never be back to human society. Till now, the remains of the missing people have never been found.

That’s why Alas Purwo is considered the eeriest forest on Java Island. Before you visit there, you had better say your prayers before it is too late.
