    This document discusses the sacred tiger spirit in Indonesian and Malaysian folklore. The sacred tiger is believed to guard holy sites like tombs or mountains and appears as a white tiger with human-like features. Intruders who enter these guarded sites with bad intentions may see an ugly form of the sacred tiger, which is believed to haunt and disturb the intruder until an apology is made. There is also a ritual described from Garut, Java West to summon the presence of these sacred tiger guardians, which involves laying out specific offerings and reciting a prayer at the guarded site on a Thursday night.
