So, I'm going to start.

Hey, guys. Is everything okay?

Yeah, everything is good.

So, I'm ready.

Hi, I'm Kevin Khoiro,

and welcome back to bizarre Asia.

Today's episode is located...

...in the beautiful West Sumatra

in Indonesia.

and we are going to show you a local shaman...

...wo can call a spirit or demon if you will.

And kill your enemies using a spinning top...

...called Gasing Tengkorak.

Okay, we're done?

So, are you ready guys?

- Yes.

- Let's get started.

Okay, as you see, behind me is

a house of local famous shaman.

And let's see if we can talk to him. Let's go.

Are you recording?

So, I'm here with the local shaman.

And I'm going to ask him about Gasing Tengkorak.

- Good afternoon, Sir.

- Good afternoon.

What can you tell us about Gasing Tengkorak?

It is some kind of magical tool to kill a victim.

First you have to collect

the parts from an old grave.

It should be a grave of a child who died by unnatural cause.

Then you take the skull.

Then you take a piece of bone from the forehead.

Gasing Tengkorak is made from that piece.

Okay, and how do you use that top?

You should take the top to the victim's house...

...and spin it in front of their house.

Inside the house,

the victim will scream when they see the demon.

Spinning top with rope from shroud of the dead

On Thursday evening,

the night before Friday

Gasing Tengkorak,

I chant the curse

Once the spinning stop,

so does your life

If we spin the top on victim's property,

it will invite bad spirits.

They will do harm to the victim.

Gasing Tengkorak, send my message

And they will avenge for the owner of the top.

If they're up, make them walk

Right here, I shall wait

I understand

Maybe this is not the right time

To make you realize

ThatatI'mm hereerere

Every night

You're always in my dreams

I always hope

That you'd love me

[ Skipped item nr. 49 ]

It is just me who wants you so bad

I can't deny

You mean the world to me

I wish you knew

I wish you knew

Vero, get up.

You are the only one who

can help yourself.

You've been doing it your whole life,

you have to get up.

Michael, I have decided to

cancel the rest of my tour.

Please, Vero.

We've done 37 concerts out of 40.

We are almost there.

You should consider our sponsors

and the event managements.

As my manager,

you've learnt how to make excuses.

One more thing, I want to be alone.

Can you find me a secluded house?

And I don't want to be disturbed.

Okay. Fine.

Let's go inside.

Please bring the suitcases inside.

Welcome, Mr. Michael and

Ms. Veronica. Come in, please.

Please.

You can relax here for as long as you want.

This villa is secured with surveillance

camera and alarm systems...

...to warn us of any human or animal trespassers.

We will serve meal three times a day...

...which are cooked by our five-star chef.

To keep your privacy,

we will serve the meals on the patio.

All right, can you bring the suitcases inside?

Yes, Sir.

Vero?

Vero...

You've got some gifts from

companies you represent.

- I'll put them on the table.

- Okay.

About your fans letters,

do you still want me to reply or...

- I'll do it myself.

- Okay.

All right, I'm gonna leave now.

I've arranged doctor's

appointment for you.

He has prepared everything for

your health examination.

- I'll pick you up in two days.

- I just need a rest.

I have to make sure that you're okay.

I need the note from the doctor...

...so your sponsors and

event managements can't sue you.

Whatever.

Here.

Your phone?

Kee p it. If anybody called me,

tell them I don't want to be disturbed.

- Sure. Take care.

- Thanks.

Bye.

Let's go.

What song do you want to write, Vero?

A popular song?

Or an honest song?

You've wrote a lot of popular songs.

Let's write an honest song this time.

Hey, what are you doing here?

Hey! Go away!

Hey!

I'm warning you!

Don't ever come here again!

I bet people think I'm a good girl.

That's not quite right.

I was, but now I don't feel the happiness.

I don't even know what I want in my life.

My dream was to be me right now.

Be a singer and get famous.

But if you have to do

the same things every day...

Working on new albums...

...shooting music videos,

o television promos, tours, and stuff.

That's a boring life.

I no longer find happiness in singing.

My life has been commercialized.

It's all about money now.

The goal now are only about sales,

how many sponsors I got...

...how many tickets got sold.

"Good" is no longer enough.

They want everything to be big, with most profit.

Vero, you should be grateful.

Everybody loves you.

Don't squander your career just because of small stuff.

You're just tired, you need a break.

Now, go to bed.

I'm really sorry for the inconvenience.

But there's nothing we can do.

No, we won't cancel the show.

I promise once Vero gets better,

we will continue the tour.

What do you say if we do more

shows in more cities instead?

Don't say sorry

It'll only make me even sadder

Kill me and go away

Take a look at me for the last time

Smile like there's nothing happened

For when I miss you

I'd remember your last smile

I'd remember your last smile

So I can remember your face

Why I'm such a fool

Why can't I forget you?

Even when you're gone

Now

You're just a memory

Hello, yes.

Somebody put a dead animal on the yard.

Yes, that means somebody was in this villa.

I don't care, I want you to remove it.

I'm going out, and I don't want to

see it again when I get home.

- Excuse me. May I ask you something?

- Sure.

I'm staying on a big villa on the hill.

Can you tell me how to get there?

I'm kind of lost here.

Poor pretty girl.

You should take that road.

And if you see a security post,

turn right, and then turn left.

I see.

Thank you Sir. Go Persib!

You're welcome Miss. Be careful.

Yes!

Melissa, there's somebody outside the house.

- Are you at your house?

- No, I'm at a villa.

- Is there anybody else there?

- No, I'm alone here.

You shouldn't be alone.

Empty houses attract bad spirits.

Spinning top with rope from

shroud of the dead

On Thursday evening,

the night before Friday

Gasing Tengkorak,

I chant the curse

Once the spinning stops, so does your life

Gasing tengkorak, send them my message

If they're asleep, wake them up

If they're up, make them walk

Right here, I shall wait

Take them, take them before me

Make them kneel before me

If they close their eyes, make them see

Make them suffer, make them know

Hello, Mel? Melissa?

That woman is here again.

This time she's bringing some

kind of spinning top.

And I think I see ghosts.

A spinning top and you see ghosts?

- That must be Gasing Tengkorak.

- What is that?

Gasing Tengkorak is well known in

my hometown, MInangkabau.

They say it's a tool to curse a person,

and it's very dangerous.

It took my father's life.

You have to destroy it.

- Hello?

- Hello, Vero.

- What are you doing tonight?

- Just hanging around in the house.
