Experience With Ghosts
Ghost Train Sugarcane

This story is a story of the experience of a sugar cane train manisis who worked in a sugar factory in Central Java. He was in charge of driving a locomotive that transported sugar cane from a sugarcane plantation to a sugar factory.

At first he told me that every day he was driving an old cane train, the cane train was an old locomotive which was a Dutch relic.

Every day he drives the cane train day and night, previously he often heard stories – stories from colleagues – fellow manisis sugarcane train that locomotive number 10 often get things – strange and awkward but he did not pay attention to the story and assume that it is just superstition.

But at one point, when he got a notification that there was a change of driver he checked a sheet of paper and on the paper was told that he got rations to drive the locomotive with the number 10 for the next month.

With his leisure he immediately told his fellow – fellow engineers when the break time that for the next month he would drive the locomotive with the number 10, he said, and colleagues – other machinist colleagues also reminded him to be careful – hearts with the locomotive especially at night.

But again – again he considers that the appeal of his friend – friend was a mere superstition, he also remained indifferent to the appeal of his friend – friends.

Until one day he got rations to drive the train at night and wanted to pick up a load of sugar cane in the sugar cane garden and the location was quite far from the sugar factory.

At first it was a good trip – only fine until when in the middle of the trip he felt something strange from the engine of the locomotive. Machine arrived – arrived like “ngegas” itself even though the lever is still in a medium gas condition.

He was amazed – astonished but the assistant driver who was beside him was immediately very frightened and felt that they were being bullied by the ghost of the locomotive. But again – again he considers that it superstitious while bringing up his assistant driver who is still in a state of fear.

But not long after the condition of the machine immediately returned to normal again, it made him again relieved but not with assistant machinists who were getting scared.

Long story short, though, finally they arrived at the sugar cane garden they had headed before and without lingering – long the workers in the sugarcane garden immediately loaded the stems – sugar cane sticks that had previously been completed in the slash heading to the lori – truck cane.

As long as the sugar cane is loaded, the engine of the train locomotive is turned off, while cooling the engine because after the sugar cane is loaded they will continue the journey to return home to the sugar cane factory again.

Then not long after finally all the cars of sugar cane truck have been loaded by the trunk – cane tree trunk, and they immediately turned on the locomotive engine and began to continue the journey back to the sugar cane factory.

By the time they want to turn on the machine, there are already – obstacles that appear, such as the machine is difficult to turn on, indeed, then the lights of the locomotive that can not be turned on even they had trouble to move the lever to run the locomotive and train.

But after being tried finally the locomotive can be run normally, finally not long after they both immediately went back on their way back to the sugar factory.

By the time he walked in the middle of the garden – sugar cane gardens pierced the quiet and dark rail. Arriving – arrived the locomotive engine died and in the end the lighting in the locomotive was also dead. The assistant machinist was again frightened while the driver was still relaxing and wanted to immediately check the engine room of the locomotive.

The manisis immediately got off the locomotive while inviting the assistant machinist to help him check the locomotive engine, but the assistant machinist did not want to obey his wishes because he was still in a state of fear hearing the story of the driver – other machinists who found – things strange with the locomotive.

But the driver continued to force – maxanya to accompany and help him in checking the machine and in the end with the condition forced he was complied with the driver's desire to help him check the machine.

The machinist's assistant helped to hold the flashlight to light up the dark engine room, while the machinist was still trying to open the engine room door.

But it would be surprising after the new driver opened the engine room and the new assistant driver highlighted the dark engine room arrived – arrived there was a head without a body near the engine locomotive that died.

While in a state of shock and fear, the assistant driver immediately threw a flashlight into the engine room locomotive and they both immediately ran to the locomotive and down the rail to the crowd.

Finally after a little distance they ran before long they found a crowded highway, they headed straight to a stall in a frightened condition. And there they immediately ask permission to the owner of the stall to ride rest and sleep until the sun arrives, the owner of the stall allows it.

Until in the morning, they walked to the train that he had left last night, in a condition that still creeps he returned to try to turn the engine of his locomotive back and successfully lit up, slowly they went back on their way.

Arriving at the sugar factory they were scolded by the chief engineer who said that they had been far from the schedule that had been set, finally they with some other driver told me in a food stall.

But not too far there is a grandfather – grandfather who heard the story of these machinists and immediately approached to their table.

After that the drivers were surprised that the grandfather was actually a senior machinist who worked at the sugar factory and had been in retirement. And not long ago the grandfather told about the mystery behind the number 10 locomotive.

Indeed, at the time he was working at that time, there were colleagues who became mechanics were repairing the locomotive. At that time the mechanic put his head into a radiator room with a large fan there.

And accidentally his friend who was a mechanic arrived – arrived to turn on the locomotive engine which simultaneously also with the radiator fan that automatically turns on so that the head of the mechanic was cut off in the engine room because it was cut off by the radiator fan that is on.

Indeed, since that incident often machinists are disturbed by “hantu” the mechanic who lost his head.
