Ghost of Raden Gagar

A Balinese named Raden Gagar died and was buried in Belanting and was believed to haunt the village. In order to deal with the supernatural problems the villagers were reportedly encountering, a few of his bones and skull were later unearthed and wrapped in a white cloth and taken to Bayan and he given a formal funeral, which was believed to free the area of its ghosts.[4] However, during the "cleaning ceremony" (pengasuh gubug) a series of unfortunate events occurred which were blamed on upsetting his spirit during the reburial process.[4]
