When I heard it, I was so excited. Flood? So this river is prone to floods when it rains? But it's impossible. I'm so bright today. Hi, welcome back to my channel.
Thank you for clicking this video. Do you like nature activities? Maybe just walking or seeing the scenery. Or also doing challenges activities with friends. There is certainly and it must be very exciting, right? But you also have to be careful because what is called nature,
we can't predict, it's dangerous, it can be anytime like what happened to Wawa that I will tell you the story tonight. So around 2014, Wawa and his friends plan to raft in a river in an area
At first, it was just for fun But without them realizing there was a dangerous situation that they experienced an unexpected event and made them traumatized
This story is not just about horror but also about friendship and also the loss that deepens for Wawa and his friends. Curious about the complete story? So without further ado, let's get into the story. Check it out! Okay, so the story I'm going to tell you tonight is sent by our by our friend, Ara from Jakarta. Hello, Ara.
So, this story was experienced by Ara and her friends in 2014... when they were on a trip to one area or one region. So, Ara has a friend, a circle, a gang, from their high school. Their names are Coki, Melly, Ella, Udin, Kenny, Lucy, and Wulan. So, they are 8 siblings. Our parents know each other.
We often stay at each other's house. And we often travel together. One day in 2014, Ara and her 7 friends planned to go rafting or arumjeram. To a natural tourist attraction for 3 days. They chose arumjeram because one of their friends, Coki,
wants to help his brother to take care of his brother near there. Coki's brother's name is Ilias, and his wife's name is Karin. They are going to join a group trip to this one gang. Their plan is to go to the waterfall on the first day. Then, they will continue their main agenda, rafting on the river. Then, on the last day, they will go to a tourist attraction...
...to take a picture of Ilya and Karin. That's their plan. And that's their agenda before they leave. After the day of departure, each of them was allowed to invite friends outside the 8 people circle. They were allowed to invite friends again. Ara or Wawa invited one of her colleagues, her name was Ratna.
Other friends, like Kenny, Lucy, and others, also invited a few people. So the number of groups that started with 10 plus 2 became 18 people Ara, 17 of her high school friends, her ex-boyfriend, Ilya and Karin, Sinta, Ara's workmate, and 7 other new friends who were brought by the same gang
So it's getting more crowded They finally planned to take a train from Pasar Senen station on Thursday Before we left, Ara and Udin picked Lucy up to Lucy's house They also made sure Lucy didn't bring too many things Because our trip was only for 3 days
And among all my friends, Lucy was the most famous She was the most famous, the most popular, the most OOTD People were afraid that if she wasn't watched She could bring a whole closet. So, Udin and I decided to invite Lucy to see the stuff. We didn't want to go back and forth from the market.
When we arrived at Lucy's house, it turned out that Lucy's stuff wasn't as much as usual. I was shocked. I was a bit surprised. But it's okay, people don't comment on things like that. I was so nervous, I was so nervous. I was a bit nervous, but I was fine. At that time, nothing was strange with the incident, especially with Lucy.
But, along the way to the Pasar Senen station, I noticed that Lucy suddenly became quiet. She was only smiling, she was only talking to me, she was only joking with me. They were just smiling, talking, and joking around. Usually, they are the most noisy. But I thought, maybe Lisa wanted to be quiet.
So I didn't think about it. They went to the station. When they arrived, met with other groups From there, the 18 of them left around 1 PM to the destination
The destination
Ara and his friends arrived at the destination the next day, on Friday at 8 AM They went straight to the homestay, had breakfast, cleaned up, took a shower And after that, they went straight to the first destination, which is the waterfall. There they played in the water, took photos, and around 11 o'clock in the afternoon they continued to the main destination, which is the rafting or the river that is not too far from the first waterfall. They left for the rafting camp in a village.
On the way, Kenny asked, Is it safe? I'm actually afraid of water. I can't swim. I've never rafted before. Ara said, just relax. We're using a boat. One boat is also crowded. The important thing is to relax just enjoy the rafting?

Get started freeBut even though I told her to calm down, she still looks nervous. But she still dares to try it. Because she's been here for a long time, why doesn't she join Ken? Now she's like, okay, I'll join. Well, not long after, they arrived at the base camp area rafting. The boys pray Friday prayer first, while the girls take a short break.
They eat lunch while chatting. Here again, Ara noticed that Lucy still didn't talk much. And I don't know why, but her face looked different from usual. It was a bit dull, said Ara. She still let it be. Around 12.30, after the boys finished Friday,
they took turns eating lunch, while the women prayed Zuhr. After that, they all wore headscarves, protective helmets, and rafting sandals provided by the rafting manager. Not long after, the Ara group set off to the point, to the mouth of the river, riding a car with an open tank. Ara and the others were very excited, because it was the first time
they tried rafting in the coral reef. Plus, the rafting was also with my friends, Nadia and Konkon, so it was definitely very exciting. It was an unforgettable moment. As we arrived at the rafting location, Lucy, who had been quiet since the beginning,
suddenly, when she got there, she spitted out, she said, brown water. Lucy said that because she saw the water as cloudy as that. It was dark brown. I and the others were actually a bit confused when we first saw it. But we didn't talk like Lucy.
It was as dark as that. Not long after, the guides also lowered the rubber boats from the pickup, and then the guide gave the direction to the coordinator. He said, please gather for a while. Sir and ma'am, because we have five boats here, each boat will be filled with three to four people, plus one guide.
We'll start from here, and and finish it in the next village the distance is about 10 km or about 1.5 hours of travel there will be 2 resting places in the middle of our rafting journey and remember
ladies and gentlemen while rafting, keep your attitude keep your speech and don't do dangerous things don't get off the boat before we go to the rest area. Do you understand? They all said yes.
After the debrief, the guides prepare a raft or a boat and distribute the fins to each of them or each participant. At the same time, they also divide the groups in each of these ferries well, Ara goes up to the first ferry with Ella, Anggara and Gaid, there is one Gaid then in the second ferry there is Udin, Wulan, Ratna the third ferry there is Melly, Coki and Lucy
the fourth ferry there is Karin, Ilias and Kenny and the rest in the fifth boat. So, we're divided. We're all going up on the boat. All the groups are going up. The guides also directed each team to start.
Let's slowly row the boat. Let's start. One, two, up to five. A few minutes on the journey, I started to feel the rafting sensation. I've never felt it yet. The river water is still too calm, we haven't met the sharks, the part that usually makes rafting exciting, right?
And besides the calm water, the left and right views are just bamboo trees. And along the river, there's a lot of garbage. I asked the guide, why is there so much trash? Did you throw the trash to the river? No, it's because it's raining and flooding. That's why there's a lot of trash.
When I heard that, I was like, flooding? So the river is prone to flooding when it rains? But that's impossible. It's sunny today. So I didn't think about it.
I just sat there with my friends, and we talked about it. But soon, when we were almost at the first stop, the first stop, the sky that was blue and bright,
started to turn gray. But it wasn't that dark yet. It was already gray. So we continued our rafting. While cloudy. So the rafting is still going on. While we were continuing the rafting, I saw an adult man standing in the middle of the river.
In the middle of the river. I thought, maybe there's a person standing there. He must be standing on the riverbank. Because it's impossible for someone to stand on the water. And it looks like he's just his feet are submerged in water. He must be stepping on something.
I don't really look at his face. But what I see is that the man is standing still facing the riverbank. It means he's like... looking sideways. From what I see,
he's not holding a fishing rod. He's not holding anything else. He's just stood there, not moving, facing the other side. I told Ella and Anggara, Hey, you guys, look at that. Why is he standing in the middle of the river?

I was confused, I didn't even see the guide. I was confused. I said, where is it? He said, I can't see anything. I said, you're mistaken.
I went to the garden.
There was someone standing there. I thought, maybe it's not a person. Maybe it's a wooden pole. Or maybe it's not a person, maybe it's a wooden pole or a reflection. A wooden pole? No, it's not. But the more I look, the more I see it's a person.
Even the boat is getting closer to the point, I can still see a person standing there. He's still standing there and he didn't move at all. I started to panic. I was getting closer. I talked to the other people. I said, seriously, there's someone there. Didn't you see that?
Elah said, we didn't see anything. I told her not to ask. The guide was like that too. He looked at me again and said, it's empty. There's no nothing there. I was like,
it's not clear. I didn't want to continue talking, but as I got closer to the man, my eyes were locked on him. I tried to pass by, but I couldn't.
I was like, oh my God.
And I saw a man. A man. He was still in a good shape. But what was strange was that there was no stone under his feet. He was standing on the water. His skin was pale.
A man. in the water, her skin was pale right?
a person not long after we passed, I looked behind me she was gone astaghfirullahaladzim astaghfirullahaladzim, she was gone I felt uncomfortable
why was I being watched like this? I'm not an indigone, I just saw her she was clearly not scary but she was pale I knew immediately knew, it's impossible Damn it I just prayed in my heart
And continue to go to the ferry Ara didn't tell his friends, afraid of the storm It's also above the ferry, I screamed like what Later the storm didn't make the situation better, I was silent Continue to walk again Not long, Ara's group arrived at Post 1, the first resting place.
They took a break while eating snacks provided by the manager. While resting there, ARA saw one of their friends, Kenny, who was afraid of riding a rafting, had arrived there too. But his face was pale. Pale.
She was scolded by her friends. How, Ken? Are you safe? The rafting was fun, right? Not as scary as I imagined, right? And there, Ken just laughed. But her face was still pale.
So, she was scared but she held it. So that her friends wouldn't make fun of her. On the other hand, I also noticed that Lucy didn't look excited. Her face was like a bird. She did take some photos, but
it was just a coincidence. Lucy didn't talk much. I thought, does Lucy not like this trip? Why did she just stay silent from the start? But I also know
that Lucy is a very straightforward person. So if from the beginning she didn't like the trip, she must have said it first. This is not, plus I just remembered the male figure standing in the middle of the river earlier, Nat. My little heart was like, don't we have to continue rafting?

Get started freeThere are thoughts like that. But soon the guide guide told them to stand by and we'll leave. The boat was back. The coordinator said, let's continue. We're going to go to post 2. I thought, maybe it's just my feeling. I hope it's not a mistake.
Let's continue the rafting. When we continued rafting, the boat was at the front. The rest were the friends. The first few minutes it was safe. Ara was able to look behind and see his friends taking pictures. They were laughing.
But as time went by, the distance between Ara and the other boat was getting further. As time went by, the boat was passing through a stream. A stream of waves. It was quite big. the current has started to pass through the stream the flow of the river is quite strong it's started to flow so the boat is going further it's a sensation for people who are afraid of the current
at the same time, the weather around the river changed drastically the sky was just gray now it's dark why is it getting darker? It's not good to be there. But because my guide didn't give me any sign to go straight,
and it's hard to go straight because the right and left sides were flat at that time, so I thought it was still safe. But the guide said that the second post wasn't that far, and the rain hadn't stopped yet. I had to go on. Not long after, Ara asked the guide, Sir, can we go a little further? We're waiting for someone else.
The guide allowed it. Finally, Ara and the group or this boat, rowed the boat to a little further. But, before they reached the riverbank, suddenly Ara heard a scream from behind.
Rain! Rain! Hurry up! Hurry up!
There's flood! And the sound was arranged by the rain. It was pouring, Nadia. And the sound of the thunder was loud from behind. The boat and the crew didn't get to go back yet.
The boat was hit by the water from behind. The water was so strong. It was like, wow! The water was bringing the tree trunk and the trash together. It was coming down as fast as it could. The boat was coming down.
That's when Ara realized that they were being swept away by the flood. They were coming from the river. The guide told the boat,
Hurry, the boat is coming.
The boat is coming. Hurry, to the side, on the side, the guide had to shout, Hurry up, go up the cliff now! Go up, go up, go up! When I heard the shout, I thought I was screwed. I was like, what should I do? I was still trying to explain everything. What should I do? So I was just blanking.
Until I was pulled by the guide. Pulled. Hurry up, go up! Finally, after a hard after climbing the cliff, Arah, Eli, and Anggara were on top of the cliff. Don't think of the cliff as something that can be reached.
From there, I could hear people screaming for help from the river. From where I'm standing, I can see other boats are being washed away. There's even a boat that's been washed away. I can still see Lucy, Kenny, Coki, Melly, Ilya, and Karin are fighting to get to the shore. Some are still on the boat. Some are holding the boat that's been washed away.
Some are lying on the tree, some were swimming to the side with their hands empty. The others were panicking, and they were screaming, and they were panicking, they wanted to help, but they didn't know how.
Some of us were even shouted by the gate, to the side, to the side, to the side. This is a cliff, it's dangerous. So, even if you don't want went to look for a safer place. At that time, Arani was hiding in a small hut near the paddy field. It was not far from the cliff.
They were asked to wait there. While Ara went back to the river to join the other evacuees. You guys wait here. While we were in Pondok, there was no one there to talk. All our bodies were shaking.
We couldn't talk. Our eyes were full of tears. We were all there. We thought our friends were still being chased. The last time we saw them, they were chased. Before the guide told us to move away,

Get started freewe were scared. The other people could only pray. They hoped that their friends would be safe. Fortunately, after waiting for about an hour, two of Ara's friends, Meli and Udin, came to Ara's house.
While Meli was crying, her hands and legs were all injured. Udin just came and started to be quiet. His face was pale. These two were safe. Seeing Meli and Udin safe, and started to be quiet These two are safe Seeing that Meli and Udin are safe, Ara has hope that other friends are safe too
But we just wait here, calm down We'll be fine, friends are also calm We'll wait again But after almost 2 hours of waiting, none of Ara's friends came back. At that time, Ara realized that the place we were looking for was actually the place where the villagers kept the cranes. We didn't realize it at first, because we were so panicked and confused.
We were told to wait there, and we did. When I saw the cr, I was shocked. I felt like seeing this sign was a bad sign. And it was true. Around 5 PM, Ara and her friends were picked up by the rafting team and took me back to the base camp. The first question I asked was, how are my friends?
The manager said, they're at the base camp. I was so relieved, thank God. I arrived at the base camp, and there were some of my friends and group of friends who were safe. I was so happy. But I didn't see Coki, Lucy, Kenny, Ilyas,
Karin. Coki, Ilyas, his wife's brother, Lucy, and Kenny. None. And Ratna, sorry, there were six people. I was told by
the base camp that the six people were missing and being searched by the SAR team. Six people. I was silent because of the shock. My legs were weak, my vision was not clear anymore,
even though I was empty at that time. It didn't seem to be over yet. It could even be worse than I imagined. The others were asked to take a shower, asked to clean, change clothes, so that the guide team don't catch a cold.
But none of them moved. They were still sitting there, quiet, wet, cold, shocked. They must have been like, not ready to receive the news that their six friends were missing. Imagine that. At that time, no one was talking to each other, Nadia. No one was talking to each other.
No one dared to tell their family about this incident. I was thinking, I just want to tell my family that my six friends have been found. And they're safe. So, I kept telling myself that my six friends are safe. They're safe. And it turned out, at about 6.30 PM, one of Ara's hopes was gone.
One of her friends, Coki, came to the base camp with the rescue team with his hands and legs injured. Like the others, Coki came in silence and as traumatic as the incident of the rafting, Arah and the others immediately approached Coki, hugged him, Coki cried, he was asked to sit down, changed his clothes, and so on.
Coki was found. There were still five of sit down, and he was asked to change his clothes. Choki was found. So there are still 5 people who haven't been found yet. I'm still optimistic, this is definitely the fifth. My friend is safe, because Choki is safe. And the confidence rose again when Ara got news from TeamStar that one of his female friends was found safe.
And now he's being taken to the hospital in a coma. We got the news there at the base camp. The two were found safe and now brought to the hospital in a coma. We got the news at the base camp. But at that time we didn't know who was the friend who was safe. But she was a woman. But at least I was relieved.
There was one of my friends who was safe. It's okay, the important thing is that they are safe. There are four more, God willing, they will be safe too. Two people were found safe, although they were injured. We were optimistic, that four more people would be found and safe. Everyone was waiting, they were nervous, they were praying. Not long after, Ara and her friends were brought to the police station.
The police took out their phones and showed them the photos. They asked, Is this really your friend? When was it, sir? When I saw the photos, I was in tears. I was in tears.
They all saw it clearly. The photo showed the photo of Kenny's body, which was already pale, his skin was pale.
Kenny's dead. Kenny's world was over. You remember Kenny, right? That's when Ara remembered the moment before rafting, when Kenny said he was afraid of water. I can feel how Ara felt at that time. Ara felt guilty because he let Kenny continue to raft.
Ara felt guilty because he let Kenny continue to raft. It's okay, we were all there. The atmosphere was tense. No one was willing to talk. All I heard was screams and cries. Then, silence.

Get started freeThe police and the rafting team tried to calm us down. When things calmed down, the police asked me to tell my family, especially my friend's family. I told them I didn't want to tell their family. They were shocked, especially Kenny's family. That night, Kenny's family flew to the police station.
Kenny had already met 6 people, so 3 people had not met. 2 survived, 1 died. At that time, not only did we ask to inform the family, but also some of his friends were asked to go to the police station to give a statement of the BAP or the investigation. There were also many reporters there,
we were interviewed, but when we were interviewed, everyone was freezing. Our hearts were still broken. Especially when we were asked to explain the chronology of the incident, we were like,
wow,
it's not clear, our thoughts were immediately blown away. But we were asked to explain it. After the BAP, Aras and others were asked to rest at the Polsek mosque. There, the Ustaz was also invited to lead them in prayer and send prayers for the dead and three unfound victims.
At that time, the friends were also asked to stay at the Polsek mosque. But after experiencing a big disaster, we were still thinking. So until midnight, we couldn't sleep. We couldn't sleep at all. It was still on Friday. At that time, when he couldn't sleep,
we were still in the mosque, the Polsek mosque. Meanwhile, Coki was sitting alone outside. While he was still smoking. While he was looking for air, he said. Then, soon,
everyone in the mosque was surprised. When they heard Coki screaming, Kenny! It's Kenny! Kenny! Come back, Kenny! Everyone was shocked, running to the front, to Coki. When we got out, Coki was crying, while pointing to the mosque's front. Kenny, Kenny, it's Kenny outside waiting for us.
Hurry, tell him to come in. Kenny, come here. I feel sorry for you. He kept repeating that. We were confused. We were confused and we were confused. We saw Coki as hysterical as he was.
We rarely see a man as hysterical as he is. He was as hysterical as he was. One of our friends called the police and the Ustaz. When they arrived, Coki was calmed down. He said, Istighfar, Istighfar. He prayed.
Coki calmed down. Coki told him, if he saw the dead body standing in front of the mosque, his body was wet. His face was pale. front of the mosque. His body was covered with sweat. His face was covered with sweat.
His face was pale. He looked at me with a sad face. Why did he come here? I don't know why Kenny came here. Maybe he wanted to say goodbye. He wanted to say goodbye to us.
I was so sad. I was given the original documentary. I was shown Kenny's face. That's it. I'm sorry. I was about to throw up. I heard everyone there was crying.
They were all crying. But anyway, we're all friends. We've been friends since high school. Everyone there was crying. Because no matter what, they were pointing at us. We were friends since high school. Since high school. That was when they were about to graduate. They were about to graduate.
We were so close. So we couldn't explain how we lost them. After that, the Ustaz asked everyone to keep praying. The police also asked them to rest so that his body wouldn't drop. Rest first, sir, ma'am. The next day, Kenny's body was flown to Jakarta for burial.
Meanwhile, Ara and some of his friends decided to stay there. They stayed there for a while. But they didn't stay at the mosque anymore, they stayed at a homestay near Polsek because they wanted to wait for the news of their other three friends who had not been found. At that time, Arah had received information that the girl's friend who was taken to the hospital was Ratna.
So the three friends who were still missing were Ilyas, Karin, the couple who was on the raft, and Lucy. The police and the SAR team forbade us to go after them. Even though we had forced them, they didn't allow us. So, the search was only done by the SAR team, the rafting manager, the police,
the missing victim's family, and the locals. That's all they allowed. One day, it was too late. Two days, it was too late. I'm Ilias and Karin. The couple who wanted to take a pre-wed photo after rafting. Imagine, they both died. Karin and Ilias were found, and there's one more. Lucy.

Get started freeI couldn't think positively anymore. We couldn't do it. If Ilias and Karin, who were missing for three days, were found dead, what about Lucy, who was was not found until that moment? In addition, for the next few days,
the search team couldn't find any clues about Lucy's existence. None. Then, in the middle of the search, some locals said, Sir, it seems like Lucy was taken by a waiting creature there, sir. I don't know if she's still alive or dead,
but her body is hidden in the river. We had to do a ritual, sir. The villagers said. At that time, no one in the family believed in such things. But because they had given up, the family of Lucy said,
Okay, let's look for him. In addition, the team said, According to the SOP, we can only help the search for 7 days. So, we held a prayer ritual along the river. Then, 3 smart people came to lead the flower-blowing ritual and throw the live chicken to the river.
It was done for a few days. Until the 7th day after the incident, Lucy's body was found. It was found in the area of the river. And you know, Lucy's body was found in the same place where Ilias and Karin's bodies were found. Even though it was a ritual, we still looked for it. The SAR team still looked for it. So, someone did a search
in that way. It was found immediately. We went to Ilias and Karin's place. Nothing. Nothing. But on the 7th, Lucy's body appeared in a valley in that area.
When we knew that, Ara must have felt hit. Because one of my best friends, Nadia, was found dead again. Although I was also pessimistic, I was sincere. She left,
but at least her body was found. She was found. After all the bodies were found, Ara and her friends, some of whom were left here, returned to Jakarta to attend Lucy's funeral.
Lucy was buried next to Kenny's grave, and Ilyas' grave, the brother of Coki. Meanwhile, Karin's body was buried in his hometown. Here, the Ua-Ua gave us the original documentation. The time of the funeral,
the three of their ancestors, the time they were on the brown river. But of course I won't upload it here to respect the victims. And all the names I mentioned earlier are not their real names.
It's us and Rin. And for those of you who know where the location is, please keep it to yourself, to appreciate all the families of the victims. Thank you. Okay, so that was the story of the chaos that was experienced by
Arah and her friends. They were originally refreshing to nature, but they experienced a big tragedy that made them all traumatized. After that incident, Ara just realized that there were a lot of signs that I had actually felt before the tragedy happened. The change in character of Lucy, who was originally from a chatterbox, became a quiet person.
Her virasat was like this before she went rafting. And the incident when she saw a male men standing in the middle of the river. The men were silent, but they were facing the riverbank. I thought, maybe the men were reminding us that there was a big danger in the river. Then they told our group to go to the riverbank. Maybe, God knows
But everything has happened And here, I want us to pray for our friends who have returned There are Kenny, Lisa, Ilyas and Karin We pray together May they be placed on the best side Allah SWT
