A pocong, also known as shroud ghost, or hantu guling, is a type of ghost that is said to be the soul of a dead person, trapped in its shroud and it is famous, mostly in Malaysia and Indonesia.
According to traditional beliefs, the soul of a dead person will stay on the Earth for 40 days after the death. 
If the ties over the shroud are not released after 40 days, the body is said to jump out from the grave, to warn people that the soul needs to be released.
