Unbelievable: Crocodile Appears From the Depths of River With a Man's Body in Its Mouth (Video)

 

According to Metro UK report, some Indonesian villagers called a local shaman (spiritualist) to summon a crocodile in order to bring back their friend’s body.

 

Amazingly, the entire ritual was captured on video with the killer crocodile returning the man’s corpse back to the banks of Lempake river.

 

The victim, Syarifuddin, 41, was bathing with friends when the 6.5ft reptile dragged him beneath the water in Berau, Indonesia, on Tuesday at 6.20pm.

 

Desperate relatives searched for him but he appeared to have disappeared in the murky depths of the river after police failed to find him.

 

A black magic wizard who specialises in crocodile witch craft was brought to the scene and a spell was cast for Syarifuddin to be brought back alive.

 

The crocodile emerged yesterday morning, floating to the banks with the n*ked body of Syarifuddin in its jaws.

 

 

It then dropped off the corpse as residents yelled at it to release its victim, who was already dead – sparking suggestions that the crocodile had actually been guarding the victim’s body from other predators.

 

Friend Andi Resmin said: ‘He was just in the water and the crocodile humped at him and took him.’

 

Local resident, Eet, who like Syarifuddin only has a first name in line with Indonesia tradition, said he had never witnessed a crocodile attack.

 

He said there was a local myth that anyone bathing with clothes on in the river would be fine – but bathing naked would result in a crocodile attack.

 

He said: ‘If the person bathes naked, they will be definitely be eaten by crocodiles, for sure. If they wear clothes they will not be ambushed.’

 

Police chief Inspector Talisayan Faisal Hamid, who is now investigating the incident, said: ‘The victim’s friends report to the officer he was attacked by a crocodile. That night we did a search.’

 

 

The officer said nothing was returned that evening and so residents contacted a ‘’crocodile charmer’’ and the body appeared the next morning on Wednesday.

 

He said: ‘It is also very weird that there were three crocodile emerged from the river, such as they were guarding the body, so the body of victim could be delivered.’

 

 

 

Pol Insp Hamid said the ‘important thing was that the body had been found’ and that locals were now ‘hunting the crocodile that attacked’ the man.
