For this haunted episode we journey through two haunted sites. First, we enter Jeruk Purut Cemetery in Jakarta – a graveyard infamous for its headless pastor ghost said to roam the grounds with a lantern, eternally searching for his misplaced grave. Locals warn that the spirit only appears to odd-numbered groups, and many visitors have left the cemetery with scratches or inexplicable illnesses. Then, we travel to the Swahili coast to explore Fort Jesus in Mombasa, Kenya – a centuries-old Portuguese fortress layered with the horrors of colonial violence, torture chambers, and spirits said to wail through the coral stone walls. From phantom priests to haunted battlements, these tales reveal how trauma and legend linger long after death.
