Fears Over 'Green Underwear' Beast
Herald-Sun: Fears over 'green underwear' beast
As the rest of Indonesia battles bird flu and earthquakes, a new type of supernatural force dressed only in green underwear has been terrifying superstitious Jakarta residents.
A mysterious half-man, half-beast, imaginatively named the "kolor ijo" or "green underpants", has been stalking the city outskirts, attacking people with its claws and allegedly raping lone women in the narrow alleys or in their homes, usually late at night.
Terrified residents set up special kolor ijo patrol squads, while others draped their homes in magic talismans to ward off the creature.
This isn't the only time that Jakartans have been plagued by beasts.
Only recently many Jakartans swore never to use the city rail system again after a "ghost" commandeered an empty commuter train and drove it from Bogor to Jakarta
