## Story

The people of Makassar cannot possibly not know Sumiati's name. Generally known as Satan Sumiati, is a female ghost who haunts men and it is said that this ghost only appears in front of men who wear red clothes.

How did it happen? There are many versions of its origin. Some say Sumiati used to live in the Dutch colonial period. Some say he lives in modern times (just like urban legends in general, which have various versions). According to information he came from the Pinrang area who migrated to Makassar. Sumiati was already married at that time. When her husband left her who went to sea (massompe), her beautiful appearance invited many people to steal her heart, even though she was clearly married.

Of course he refused. But there is one man did not accept it. One night, the man brutally raped Sumiati. It's unclear who the man was. Sumiati could not see him because of the dark conditions. But the one thing he did know was.

The man was dressed in red at that time. Sumiati is finally pregnant. Unable to bear this disgrace, he finally hanged himself. The position where he committed suicide is said to be close to Fort Rotterdam. Here there are several versions which tell that Sumiati's body was later taken to Pelamonia Hospital and then in the Beroanging area, Sumiati was buried.

That's why Sumiati is also reportedly haunting the hospital. Sumiati Satan has shocked Makassar since the 1990s, because news of sightings from victims appeared too often. The story of the apparition only gradually disappeared after 2000. The following is one of the sighting stories that Mystical Stories obtained. One of the Stories of Sumiati Satan's Apparition My sister's friend was riding a motorbike to her house.

At that time he had just come home from work. It was late at night, maybe around two in the morning. At this hour on the highway is definitely quiet. Vehicles are rarely seen. When he was driving a motorcycle, how surprised he saw a woman waving at him. Like asking him to give you a lift. At that time he ignored her. (Maybe he thought the woman was not a good woman, besides being suspicious in the middle of the night stopping the motorbike).

After taking the motorbike a few meters, he was surprised again, because there was a woman waving. But the thing is, it was the girl from earlier!!! From a distance he watched the woman's feet. It doesn't have legs.

The girl is flying! My brother's friend immediately pulled the gas out. After passing the girl, he still felt bad. So he tried to peek back in the rearview mirror. What a surprise because the girl FLY CHASING HIM!! Luckily he didn't get hurt. Finally safely arrived home and told the family. The next day he also told his friends (one of them is my sister).

Another friend said, if I'm not mistaken, this is the house where Sumiati used to live. But why chase brother's friend, is still not clear. Luckily not because of the appearance when carrying a motorbike.
