Ancol Bridge

Jakarta · Indonesien · Bridge

At the canal bridge in the Ancol harbour district of North Jakarta lives what may be Indonesia's most retold ghost story. In 1817 sixteen-year-old Ariah, also called Maryam, is said to have fled a rich man who wanted her as his concubine, only to be hunted down and murdered by his henchmen near the bridge. Ever since, she reportedly appears as a beautiful young woman with long black hair who beckons to lone night-time passers-by and taxi drivers – before dissolving into thin air. As "Si Manis Jembatan Ancol" she has inspired TV series and feature films many times over.
