Eka and her friends were fond of outdoor adventures, and their latest destination was Mount Sibayak, in north Sumatra. They were excited about the prospect of scaling the mountain, eager to explore its hidden corners and trek through its dense jungles.
As they pitched their tents on the mountain's slopes, they could feel the weight of the history embedded within its hills. The air was cold, and the mist that clung to the trees seemed to hide something sinister.
But the group paid no heed to their fears, and they continued their journey, traversing through rocky streams, past strange rock formations, and winding paths. That's when they came across an eerie-looking cave.
As they entered the cave, they were surrounded by complete darkness. The only light came from their torches, casting eerie shadows on the cave walls. Then, six of the group suddenly disappeared, and their screams echoed through the cave.
Eka and her two remaining friends were left frightened and alone. They tried not to panic, but they couldn’t explain what had happened. The others had vanished in front of their very eyes, leaving no trace behind.
The remaining three tried to retrace their steps, hoping to find their missing friends. But the night was getting darker and the cave seemed to get bigger. They were trapped in the darkness, lost in the labyrinthine tunnels.
As they made their way deeper into the cave, they saw strange markings on the walls, which they couldn't decipher. But the unfamiliar writing was not the only strange thing they found. They began to hear whispers and strange sounds that seemed to echo all around them.
The cave seemed to shift and move around them, and they found themselves in front of a blocked off tunnel that they had not seen before. The tunnel was sealed with an old wooden door covered with strange markings.
Suddenly, the door creaked open, and the three friends felt a chill run down their spines. They crept forward cautiously, and as they entered the room beyond, they saw glimpses of their missing friends scattered around the room in various states of decay.
They realized that there was something in that cave, something dark and sinister. Unable to face the horror any longer, the remaining friends fled out of the cave, back into the daylight.
When they returned to the village, they told their story to the local elders. They were informed of the legend of Mount Sibayak, which has long been rumored to harbor dark spirits that torture and kill those who enter the sacred space of the mountain.
According to the local lore, the cave is part of a hidden temple, one that was used in ancient times for vicious sacrifices to appease the angry spirits. Despite its abandonment, the spirits were rumored to still be lurking in the shadows, causing the strange disappearances of hikers venturing too close.
The day after Eka and her friends' visit, the cave entrance had completely disappeared. No one knows what happened inside of that cave, and the rumors about the mountain's spirits continue to circulate. Some still believe that the spirits of the missing hikers are trapped in the cave, eternally wandering the endless tunnels, while others believe that the spirits of the mountain have taken their souls.
