The Most HAUNTED Place In Indonesia 🇮🇩

  • Today I'm checking out the most haunted place in Indonesia, the Lawang Sewu. The Lawang Sewu (building of a thousand doors) was used by the railway headquarters of the Dutch East Indies Company. After the Japanese invaded in 1942, it turned into a military headquarters for the Japanese. When the Japanese surrendered in 1945, the Indonesian army was able to take it over. It was during this time that the bloodiest battle between the Indonesian fighters and the Japanese army took place. The Indonesian army wanted the weapons from the Japanese army and the Japanese commander in Semarang didn't want to hand them over to Sudirman and Gatoh Subroto, the commanders of the Indonesian army.
    Because of all the executions and torture that took place in the building, it is known to be Indonesia's most haunted place. Before it was renovated in 2008, many horror films were filmed here also.

    Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more videos from #Semarang
    Hari ini saya akan mengunjungi tempat paling angker di Indonesia, Lawang Sewu. Lawang Sewu (gedung seribu pintu) digunakan oleh kantor pusat kereta api Perusahaan Hindia Belanda. Setelah Jepang menyerbu pada tahun 1942, itu berubah menjadi markas militer bagi Jepang. Ketika Jepang menyerah pada tahun 1945, tentara Indonesia mampu mengambil alih. Pada masa inilah pertempuran paling berdarah antara pejuang Indonesia dan tentara Jepang terjadi. Tentara Indonesia menginginkan senjata dari tentara Jepang dan komandan Jepang di Semarang tidak mau menyerahkannya kepada Soedirman dan Gatoh Subroto, komandan tentara Indonesia.
    Karena semua eksekusi dan penyiksaan yang terjadi di gedung itu, dikenal sebagai tempat paling angker di Indonesia. Sebelum direnovasi pada tahun 2008, banyak film horor yang difilmkan di sini juga.

Btw that CFC was actually a franchise from America called Pioneer Take out before it is now completely owned and operated fully by Indonesia. And if you happen to encounter Texas Chicken (if you haven’t already) it was actually Church’s Chicken 😅 they go by different name here.

    Semarang is one of the most beautiful city in Indonesia..The old town and surrounding including Lawang Sewu is preserved beautifully.Something that other cities in Indonesia can learn from local Semarang government. I got an impression that Nick is more well knowledgeable than the local guide him self..I am sure that Harry the local guide is an expert guide but maybe because of the language barrier a lot of important info had not been delivered properly..but at least he tried his best.❤️🥰..Another impressive video Nick !!!!

    Dulu saat 8 tahun merantau di Semarang tidak pernah masuk sedalam itu ke Lawang Sewu, karena saat itu bangunannya belum direnovasi.
    Suasana "angker"nya masih sangat terasa karena waktu itu kondisi bangunan sangat tidak terurus.
    Paling hanya "explore" dibagian luarnya saja.
    Tapi itu juga sudah ketemu banyak hal yang aneh-aneh, baik dari manusianya yang tinggal di area itu, maupun dari hal lainnya.

    I’m very impressed with you, your insight into Indonesian history is very good for a foreign tourist.
    Here I will give you suggestions of places and foods that you have not had time to visit in Yogyakarta and Surakarta. The two cities are close together, about 2 hours by car.
    I have seen your vlog in Yogyakarta. It was very good, but if you go back there I recommend this place for you to visit later:
    1. Sri Getuk Waterfall
    If the weather is good, you can swim there. You can go there in the morning or afternoon.
    2. Paragliding Hill / Shoka Hill
    Both have great views, you can see along the Parangtritis coastline from this location, and they are close together. You can choose Paragliding Hill if you want to enjoy the sunset with a peaceful atmosphere, or Shoka Hill if you want to enjoy the sunset while eating typical Jogja dishes. I suggest you come here in the afternoon before sunset.
    3. Pengger Pine Forest
    I suggest you come here at night. you can see the view of the city of Jogja from the top of the hill which is very beautiful.
    4. Fried Cabbage / Kol Goreng
    You can stop by the lesehan / tent on the side of the road. make sure there is "lesehan" written on the tent, you can find it anywhere at night. You can order fried catfish or fried chicken there, but don't forget to add “Kol Goreng” to your menu list. I'm sure you've never tried this food.
    5. Merapi lava tour
    For this one I suggest you to come on the 2nd day after visiting all the places before. It’s located quite far from the city center, precisely on the slopes of Mount Merapi. you can rent a jeep that will take you on an adventure to the remnants of the eruption of Mount Merapi. There you will find the Merapi museum which witnessed the enormity of the eruption at that time. In addition, there is another volcano museum that you can visit if you have time, there are miniatures and pictures of the eruption of Mount Merapi. If you like history, you will enjoy this trip.
    The second destination is Surakarta City, you can go there directly after ending the tour in Merapi.
    From Yogyakarta to Surakarta I suggest you to take the electric train (KRL). Depart from Tugu Jogja station to Purwosari Solo station.
    Similar to Yogyakarta, Surakarta is the center of Javanese culture. If Yogyakarta has 1 palace, Surakarta has 2 palaces that you can visit.
    1. Kasunanan Palace & Mangkunegaran Palace
    You can visit one or both. The two are not too far apart. Both are no longer active as the center of government, but still have a king and royal soldiers. You can learn a lot about the Javanese kingdom there.
    From Purwosari Station you can go directly to the bus stop to take a rapid transit bus called BST (Batik Solo Trans) to get to these two places.
    2. Klewer Market / Kauman Batik Village
    There are 2 ways to shop for batik clothes in Surakarta City. If you prefer traditional and cheap you can try Klewer Market, if you prefer something exclusive you can come to the batik-making village directly in Kauman. Both are not far from the Palace. Batik Solo/Surakata has been widely known as a quality Batik in Indonesia. You can buy some for the family back home.
    3. Jaladara Train
    Sepur jaladara is an old steam train tour that operates on Jalan Slamet Riyadi, side by side with other vehicle lanes. This train line is the same line that was used during the Dutch colonial period.
    To be able to ride Jaladara, you can ask the officers at the Purwosari train station about the departure schedule and ticket costs.
    4. Galabo & Nasi Liwet
    In the evening you can go to Galabo to enjoy traditional food in the city center. In the morning, you can find Nasi Liwet on the roadside in every corner of the city, only in morning. To be able to find Nasi Liwet, you have to go down to the street around 6-7 am. If it's too late they are closed. Nasi liwet Solo is different from Nasi liwet in Bandung, very different, only the name is the same. you must try it.
    5. De Tjolomadoe
    Lastly, before you end this trip. You can visit De Tjolomadoe, which is a former large Dutch sugar factory that has been restored and used as a historical tourist spot.
    And don't forget to interact with local people in both cities, they are very friendly. Good work, I really like your content. 👍🏻

    That building history is actually a lot more disturbing, especially under japanese rule, as many elders said 3,5 years of japan colonialism is a lot painful than hundred years of dutch colonialism..
    - There's a chamber where japanese army used to execute people
    - Japanese army also used to bring their "s*x slaves" to Lawang Sewu
    - Japanese army would execute their slaves if they get pregnant. There was some who got hanged by the Japanese under the ceiling of those corridors.
    - There's a lot of beheading, and torture happened in those rooms.
    - There used to be a massacre of locals milita group called "Tentara Keamanan Rakjat" .
    - They used to forcefully drag people to 3rd floor to be tortured until they meet their fate. And there's more..
    It's actually sad and painful monument that always remind me of how colonizers disrespectfully treat our ancestors.

    sebelum lawang sewu di renovasi,
    bisa turun ke ruang bawah tanah, pakai sepatu bot yang sudah di sediakan, sekarang ditutup mungkin karena semua hantu di pindah di sama biar tidak mengganggu para pengunjung,
    di ruang atas yang di tutup juga masih boleh naik,
    ruangan yg di tengah sebelah pohon mangga itu adalah museum lawang sewu, ada bahan2 & material bangunan yang lama. dan foto2 restorasinya. sayang sekali nick ga masuk sana.
    Tugu obor yg di opening video, itu sebagai tanda tentang "pertempuran 5 hari di semarang" pertempuran besar berdarah di tampat itu sampai 5hari.

    luckily I had come to Lawang Sewu before the restoration and got a full guide from the guide at that time. I added some information regarding Lawang Sewu.
    1. The rooftop: I think it's a cool place, if you're allowed to go upstairs. You will see some remnants of the war. There is an iron structure that melted due to the explosion of a bomb thrown from the Japanese army. And the top floor is also the place of execution of Indonesian soldiers at that time. Some of the steel structures and wooden structures are still on the upper floors.
    2. Basement: I got this information from my Architecture Lecturer. Basement is a unique place. In addition to a place to store wine, Lawang Sewu Basement is used for the ventilation system. a kind of traditional Air Conditioning (AC) system at that time. Because Semarang has hot weather, the Dutch government had to make a system to cool the building.
    During the Japanese occupation the basement was used as a prison. There is a prison standing: prisoners are chained to the walls. There is a squat prison, its shape is like a small bathtub. some captives will be soaked there.
    As explained when the bodies were dumped in the river, near the hole, in the basement was the execution area. Beheading place, there is a large enough room, in the middle there is a wooden block for beheading, on the right side there are small tubs for beheaded heads.
    All I know is that the Rootop area and post-restoration basement are forbidden places. For tourism purposes this area should not be entered and not discussed. Even when my friend visited there, the guide would say there was no basement.
    There used to be night tours and we could go around Lawang Sewu at night. maybe it's still there but the permit is difficult.
    I think the stairs to the basement were deliberately destroyed so that no one could access to the bottom.
    they have the funds to restore the place to be nice and pretty. But don't have the funds to build a staircase to the basement? Don't have the funds to pump water from the basement to the outside?
