Jenglot: Humanoid Creatures or a Hoax? Creepy Bloodthirsty Beings from Indonesia

The jenglot is a mysterious creature that found in

Indonesia. Till today, however, it is still unclear if the jenglot is
really a supernatural creature or merely a hoax, though many
Indonesians believe that the jenglot has mystical power. The
jenglot is usually several inches tall, and has the appearance of
a tiny human being, though with sharp canine, long nails, and
long hair.

Some believe that jenglot were once human beings.

Tradition states that the creature was an hermit who practiced
forbidden magic in an attempt to gain eternal life. When the
person died, his body was rejected by the earth, so that it
would not decompose, and then shrunk to become a jenglot.
There are also those who assert that the jenglot is a rare animal
species that is unknown to science.

The jenglot has also generated some curiosity within the scientific community, and some
studies have been done on these creatures. For this purpose, forensic experts take samples of material
suspected of being skin or meat and a piece of hair JENGLOT. After the examination results were
declared JENGLOT has no bone structure. Apparently JENGLOT does not have human-like structures
although resemble human outer appearance. The result is JENGLOT comes from primates family, and
JENGLOT have similar characteristics as human, but the experts can't say that JENGLOT is live, because
mortal (living things) needs lungs, heart, and other organs to live.

I believe that Jenglot is exist and real, but I can't surely decide what actually jenglot is. It might
have been the part of certain culture or mystical practice in Indonesia.
