Bekasi –
Residents of Kampung Kempes, Sukamulya Village, Sukatani District, Bekasi Regency, were alarmed by rumors of a ghost sighting on Friday night. The story gained more attention after a video of residents screaming and running after a figure they called a “fake ghost” went viral on social media.
In the video, residents can be clearly heard shouting, “Ghost… ghost… ghost!” while trying to chase the mysterious figure. This rumor was then linked to the alleged loss of 500 thousand rupiah belonging to one of the residents, which was said to have happened on the same night.
However, upon investigation, the news turned out to be far from the truth.
Police Confirm There Was No Ghost
The Sukatani Police Chief and his team went directly to the location after the viral video spread widely. The inspection confirmed that there was no ghost sighting as widely reported by netizens.
“Our police station personnel have visited the location with the Community Development unit, which also reported on the incident,” he stated.
He affirmed that the situation in Sukamulya Village is currently safe, orderly, and conducive. The police also urged the public to remain calm, not to easily believe rumors, and to be wiser in responding to information on social media.
Resident’s Clarification: Money Was Not Missing
The local neighborhood head added that the resident who was reported to have lost 500 thousand rupiah finally provided clarification. It turned out that the money was not missing and had nothing to do with the ghost rumor.
A similar statement was made by a local religious figure. According to him, the rumor about the fake ghost was just a story that was exaggerated until it went viral and did not match the facts.
