Kemilon
Spring or Sendang Kemilon is one of the eeriest places in Yogyakarta.
It is located in Pajangan subdistrict and is surrounded by hills. The
atmosphere is so ghostly which will cause visitors to get goosebumps in the
evening. In the daytime, all the mystery is hidden beyond the beautiful
scenery.
The
water of Kemilon Spring has a strong connection with Nyi Blorong Money Ritual. Nyi
Blorong is a very powerful supernatural being who will grant the prayer’s
request. The spring water has never dried out even in dry season.
Whoever
wants to get rich instantly should prepare seven different kinds of flowers,
black rooster, young coconut, etc and burn incense for a particular ritual.
If
Nyi Blorong grants the request, she will give the prayer a few pieces of golden
snake scales. Not only golden snake scales, some villagers who performed the
money ritual also said that they had been given precious diamonds in their
dreams before they got rich.
It
is said that the prayer will lose his or her life if Nyi Blorong rejects the
request. The soul of the dead person will be brought to Nyi Blorong’s palace
and becomes slave forever.
People
only know that it is just a well-known tourist attraction and it’s still in its
original condition. However, there are a lot of mystical stories behind the
amazing views. An unexplained supernatural power twirls around the center of
Kemilon spring.
Although
it is a popular place, the number of drowning victims is quite high. A lot of
swimmers lost their lives because they were sucked by the spinning energy
coming from the center of the spring spontaneously.
The
water looks like mirror while the sunshine falls over the surface of the
spring. It’s clean as it hasn’t been polluted by rubbish, chemical substances, etc.
The depth of the water is about 2 meters, deep enough for a person to get
drowned.
