SUMPAH POCONG

"Sumpah pocong " is an indonesian tradition which is referred to a religion. It is simply swering before God that you didn't do something you are accused of or your accusation addressed at someone is not a lie
Sumpah pocong is held when there is no way of proving whether someone is guilty or not. It is held by the guidance of a religious leader who is believed to own magical power. The bodies of those who do this swearing are covered by white cloths. And next the religious leader is guiding them to swear before God.For the one accused of doing something , for example, he is accused of practising voodoo to kill someone or make them seriously ill, is going to swear that he has never had voodoo to hurt someone. And the ones who give the accusation swear before God that their accusation is not a lie. The risk of this swearing is very scary , that's to say , that whoever lies to God will die soon or get nastily cursed.
