RESEARCH STUDY - POLONG

POLONG

A spirit enslaved by a man (most of the time) for personal use. It is particularly meant to harm other people especially when the owner has wicked intentions towards these people. Polong is said to have been created from the blood of a murdered person and this blood is put into a bottle for one to two weeks before the spirit is invoked with incantations and magic spells.
After 2 weeks, the owner will start to hear sounds coming out of the bottle. It is the sound of crying. By then he should cut his finger and drain the blood into the bottle to feed the demon. This is the sign of allegiance and of loyalty to serve the master. The blood which feeds the demon is said to have tied both parties together: one as Master and the other as the servant.
In any case no one has ever illustrated the figure of the demon but all agree that it is evil and hideous.

Task
Polong has almost a similar role as the Pelesit ,
furious when not fed and will start to harm society. Normally the owner will keep the Polong inside the bottle but unleashes it when needed. People who have been attacked by Polong are left with bruises, a few markings and often always have blood coming out of their mouths.

Weaknesses
During possession, a Polong will not listen to anyone except its owner. The owner will come and pretentiously exorcise the demon in order to get money from people. But in some cases Polong which is sent by its owner refuses to free the body that it has attacked. Infact it goes a step further by causing more suffering to the victim. At this stage a
Bomoh (shaman and witch-doctor) or spiritual leader such as the imam is called to cast out the polong. Many of them know that the polong is easily weakened by black pepper seeds (mix with oil and few cloves of garlic). Normally, the shaman will place the seeds on certain parts of the body followed by quranic recitation to take control of the body and cast off the polong. The tormented polong will cry and plea asking for the recitations to cease. It will then confess to the shaman the name of its master. However, it is not uncommon for the polong to name other person to misguide the pawang (shaman). Hence, the admition must be taken cautiously.
