It is said that the Klender Mall was indeed one of the burning targets. It is strongly suspected that this combustion is intended to create more chaotic conditions. But the horrible thing is that when the burning was done there were still visitors and employees trapped inside. It is said that burnt casualties are almost 450 people. So do not be surprised if this mall becomes filled with occult phenomena.
Now, after 20 years passed, this klender mall still leaves a ghost story and a sense of haunted for people of Jakarta, especially the surrounding community. Lots of ghost stories in circulation. For example, a few days after the incident, the surrounding people still hear the sound of crying and shouts of people asking for help faintly from inside the building. Yet the building was obviously empty after the incident.
Not only that. When it is operating again, sometimes some traders also recognize smells of rancid smells like corpses or unclear smells. Real ghost stories are also widely circulated. For example the story of a father and son who had just arrived from Magelang wanted to head for their new rented house in Klender residence.
It was the year 2000, or two years after the May tragedy. Father and son arrived at Pulo Gadung terminal at two o'clock in the morning. By the year 2000, Jakarta was not as busy today. They ride the metromini and get off at Kebon Singkong area. After passing through various trips finally they arrived at the bus stop to wait for angkot to Kampung Sumur.
Because they are not native to Jakarta, they are both waiting at the right stop in front of the cluster mall without knowing the ghost stories that often occur in the mall. For a moment they sat down, a woman appeared from the direction of the cluster mall. She just sat there. Not lapse for some time, the father immediately pulled his son's hand and invited to leave. Wondering why go, the boy was curious. Apparently the father saw the woman was not human. His whole body was blackened.
Another story, about the ghost disguised as a cluster mall guard. At that time, there was a security guard who got the night duty night guard with his friend. When the time came for the shopping center to close, the three duty officers were required to run the mall from the top floor to the bottom floor before returning home.
Somehow the story, the security guard is left behind by his two friends who have been headed upstairs. Not wanting to be left far behind, he immediately ran after him. Found one of his friends on the 3rd floor. They also scratched the floor which, supposedly, is the floor with the most charred bodies found. At first he did not realize that something was wrong, until after a while he realized. From before, the sound of echoes of shoes that only heard the sound of his shoes, not sounded a bit of shoe from his friend.
"The friend kept walking and turned in the hallway and lost sight." The security guard sees the situation starting incorrectly, running to chase after his friend. How surprised he was when he turned. Her friend was nowhere to be seen. There was only a charred smell. Without thinking, the security guard ran downstairs.
How surprised when he saw his friend who a few minutes ago disappeared on the 3rd floor, is now there. Even more strangely, the friend insisted on refuting himself to the third floor. He just stood in the lobby waiting for the guard. The story of this klender mall became a horror movie title Indonesia.
